gimme the GOD drat candy posted:

mangadex thinks tomi akihito (stravaganza) and yoshitomi akihito (eat-man) are the same person. the former would die if they didn't draw incredibly sexy people and the latter's art is merely adequate, so there's no particular resemblance. what else has tomi done, aside from reiroukan and stravaganza?

The reason it thinks that is that its search is not very bright and is just matching the string "tomi akihito"

It’s neat how the author puts so much thought into animal biology as part of language development. (Snake hearing is awful, particularly compared to their sense of touch.)

We Have A Bow And We Wish To Use It
ENJOY NEW LIFE WITH MY DAUGHTER

quote:

Douglas, once known in legend as the strongest magician. But now he is called old man, as his health slowly crumbles. Beyond just suffering from a mysterious disease that slowly, but permanently, saps his health if he uses magic, the hero's party forces him out and the adventurer's guild strips him of membership. Thus, in the middle of an aimless solitary journey, the ex-adventurer Douglas encounters a cursed girl, Ravi.

Gamelike fantasy world, but not an isekai. First chapter was decent.

Gently enveloping the target with indiscriminate love.
Nice story, though extremely trope-ish.

Why do those descriptions always focus on the parts of the conflict that gets resolved withing the first chapter?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

Probably because the descriptions are written when only the first chapter is out.

man, I would love an anime of this. it's pretty unique as far as fantasy type stories go, like, not completely different, but way more interesting than most standard types I've read. also, hilarious and has plenty of adorable family antics.

The author is correct that history gets way more interesting when you're learning about how people lived and what they believed rather than dry names and dates.

It shouldn't surprise anyone who's been reading it, but the author is a gigantic history nerd. In his other series, he mentions going to the Japanese equivalent of an SCA event in full Teutonic knight templar outfit with cloak and cape and nearly passing out from heatstroke.

The addition at the end of this chapter to explain the helmets in this chapter was a perfect addition.

Series I'd been keeping up with for the past couple months has seen a spike in updates this week.

Primal Gods in Ancient Lands is the story of Miyo who lives in pre-8th century Japan when the Ookami are still entities of power and influence. Recently Orphaned and chosen by her village to be a sacrifice to their regions patron diety she has a chance encounter with a wandering monk and his two disciples which leads her to have a change of fate. It's partially because I have a hard on for the parts of japanese mythology that relate to regional gods and such but this series is on it's own a very good read. The artist is also very good, nothing less than what I'd expect for someone published in Harta magazine. Very good scenery and paneling and he knows how to sell you on the imposing nature of a Kami.



Retired heroes Has also gotten an update. It's out of the frying pan and into the fire for these two.

This has a really nice Mushishi vibe to it. It has more action-comedy and less chill, but the other-worldliness of it is excellent.

I'm guessing that man in the tree is a passing nobleman. Wish this one would update more frequently.

Retired Heroes also got an update a couple days ago and amidst the gang wars and intrigue. Saliy isn't without her own headaches and problems. Mostly people who are annoying her to no end



The new Mizukami Satoshi series Solte the Adventurer got a new chapter. It's a fantasy world magical girl story with just two chapters. But he's set up some familiar elements to his writing like a companion character whose more in the know than the MC. And we're gearing up for adventure into the demon realm.

Kirei Cake has redone the first chapter of Sousou no Frieren, making it much, much more natural-sounding. I appreciate the initial translator for bringing it to the attention of everyone, but their translation wasn't good.

this seems like it will be a good, serious series about appreciating what you have before it's gone.
