Kuro no Shoukanshi - Vol. 4 Ch. 21 - The Fifth Hero

[MangaDex]

 

[Anitvenomz]

The face of despair on page 6.

 

[el_ilm]

And the woes of a Japanese man in search of his beloved rice continues...

 

[twinklecake]

D-don't worry! In some places, a flat chest is considered a status symbol you know!

 

[Cheesewizard]

So im guessing the pendant summons him to the heroes?

 

[slayerdart]

Oppai is not the only choice, Thighs counts too. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[gaigous]

Flat can keep its filthy justice, for you see: "Evil will always Triumph because good is dumb." - Dark Helmet

 

[Starbuck]

the next chapter will be fun foodgasmic

 

[Chocolat]

The author really did just dedicate an entire page to tits.

 

[Kalec]

@Chocolat You mean just one page. Enough other mangas out there dedicating chapters or even the whole series to them

 

[nfzeta]

That's actually a bad lesson to learn as a hero though. While its a good thing to not be too reckless if you just don't fight until you have a full plan and are strong enough then not only does it stop you from getting better at fighting in general but a hero is also about public opinion. When you lose that you partially lose the point of your existence.
Unless of course the plan was to fight through and save the world by yourselves, then you could do whatever.

 

[gaigous]

@nfzeta The stereotypical hero who martyrs themselves for the country and/or others sure, but there are plenty of heroes who aren't cliche, my favorite being military heroes, for example, Esdeath from Akame Ga Kill was venerated by the empires populace despite being a self-serving monster.

 

[SpacyRicochet]

What's with the title? I'd expect 'The Hero V'. Or is the Japanese deliberately different to make it more obvious that our battle addict can be counted as a hero too?

 

[kaminomikan]

the fish hero?
the fifth H-ero

 

[nfzeta]

@gaigous yes that's the thing though, this hero and his role is definitely closer to the former. You don't haveto martyr yourself but you also can't be known to be retreating from so many situations if there is a risk.

Also Esdeath wasn't what you would call a hero. She was feared and respected but not in the manner of a hero but more just an ruthless and effective general. Usually, even if they're not the typical good guy, to be a hero requires aiming for a goal that many like and follow you for. Esdeath hardly had much in that manner, as you said she was a self-serving monster (still probably my favourite character in that manga)

Let's hope we won't see more of this hero party

 

[Ironclad]

Incredible, we had an entire chapter where he didn't make that stupid face. I pray it lasts.

 

[Blackbird]

Of course can't live without rice :)

 

[bakasaru]

@SpacyRicochet
should just be "the hero V" from that way its written on the raw like the other chapters before this one.

 

[MiiaBestWaifu]

well am not a japanese but i do eat a LOOOOOOOOOT of Rice so its maybe cliche but if i got summon i need rice too
