I was a bit disapponted tbh I thought Garm had shown up last chapter but I guess he was still incognito, a month's wait and it doesn't feel like we've progressed since last month tbh. Nice Gudric moment though.

Garm is what every viking child thinks they want to grow up to become, his very existence is amazing. He's the anti-Baldur

I'm posting one with a solid start if only so I don't forget it exists later.



Tenju no Kuni is set in Tibet and feels a lot like Otoyomegatari so far. Our main character is a doctor and a lot of the page count is spent on herbal medicine and food. The second chapter fleshes out the relationship between our betrothed characters, and it seems cute so far.


This got posted over in the Shoujo thread. It has an adorable Tibetan mastiff.

anime is not good
just gave volume ten a read since i hadn't realized it was out

garm comes across as having a pretty serious death wish. and not in a "glorious death against a worthy opponent" kind of thing, but a "when will i finally find someone able to kill me" kind of way

This is a neat thread. I read a few series based on historical stuff, though I'm not sure if they work for this thread. Does the Munakata series count?

I don't see why not? I think taking an archeological perspective to telling a story about history still counts and I definitely enjoy that series as well. In general Hoshino Yukinobu is an author where I like all of his works; both his historical works and his science fiction originals and adaptations.

Okay then, I'll have to check out Yukinobu's other works some time. And how about another series I read (which updated recently), Zero - The Man of Creation? It also talks about history, though it's more fantastical than Munakata.

I always forget to keep up with Kingdom and forget which chapter I read last, but at least this means I get to catch up in big bulks from time to time. Some really badass stuff has gone down since the last time I read it :black101:

Yeah definitely because like 99% of the characters are all the most completely badass person who has ever lived somehow.

Kingdom is just 100% over the top at all times and I love it for that.
