They uploaded a video of a discussion between the director, producer and character designer. They mention they wanted to expand on the bond between Thorkell and Asgeir. I always liked Asgeir even if he only has a couple of moments in the whole manga so that's cool.

It's been a while since I read the early parts, so, uh...

Who's Asgeir again?

Otoyomegatari continues it's backtrack with Mr. Smith and Talas. We're back to the house of the lesbians Sworn sisters and much merrymaking is to be expected.

Talas is best girl I will furiously debate anyone who disagrees. :colbert:

I think this chapter explains why Talas has been so much more...reserved than she was before. She's basically been constantly afraid that this is all going to blow up and Smith will die before the marriage actually happens because that's how it's been with all of her husbands, basically.

Is Vinland saga the manga where there's a panel with an owl saying something along the lines of, "you took these lands by violence, are you suprised that we have done the same?"

I recall it was in the op of a thread in this subforum, and I think it was Vin.

I went back and re-read Planetes again and man it still held up well. A little more japan-centric humor in it than a lot of stuff but still a good story.

I always remember how strongly it starts with Yuri's story. Some of those panels at the end are gorgeous.

The translator has also decided to drop this series after this chapter so kudos to them for keeping up with this for 6 years.

I hope someone picks it up. Or my bookstore gets better about having the most recent official stuff regularly, if that’s caught up.

Thanks, Duralumin, for the 6 year translation effort! If they still post here, that is. I think A Bride’s Story was one of my first exposures to the historical manga genre, so I’ll always remember it fondly.

I’ve been slowly picking up the ebooks for this series on BookWalker (along with Blissful Land, excited for the 4th volume next week). Feels great to marathon all the chapters and zoom in on all the art spreads :)

Thanks for the translation Duralumin! Otoyomegatari is one of the mangas I recommend to everyone who might be interested in manga.

Btw, I've been reading Mukurozumi no Borute after looking at what else you've translated and man is it dark. So much healing required but none really in the offing. Simply more hatred building up as a backlash from previous wrongs.
