Thanks for all you do! It’s certainly something I’m going to look into getting.
Also, with the first volume out in English, we got some official terms for the characters and the world (this isn’t for the scanslation team, just to prepare anyone who wants to read the official). Basically,
- The protagonist’s name was localized as “Luca”
- The Ramus/Rami designation was translated as “Branch-Hexed”, or “Branched” for short. The Ramus designator was a scanslator original decision, so you can’t complain about that
- The Pope is now The Pontiff, but The Garland stays the same
- Zoe’s name is the same, though she sometimes injects a bit of child speak into her sentences for obvious reasons

Damn, i'm glad you're still around !
Thanks for the chapter.
Sometimes i'm surprised how fast french editors publish new series compared to our english friends.
We got Bugle Call's vol 1 since march 2024 and just yesterday (06/06) we got the vol 6 !
Well together, oversea sales may help keep the manga. In my town's store it's in the top 10 sales.

thanks for the chapter. I ordered the first volume of the english version. I hope they release up to at least volume 9. "the room you grew up in" is clearly the high point of the manga.
See , this chapter shows why the time travel thing is so dumb and makes it so hard to write any story. If future nations really wanted to win against their rival nations who sent agents back in time to help their past-country win, then why wouldn't the future nations have already sent back technology to help their country rapidly develop ?
If you seriously wanted your past country to win , you wouldn't just send back the ability to create a few mutants with super powers, you'd do that AND send back blue prints and instructions for metallurgy, chemistry, engineering, guns. Especially when the towers apparently have a universal constructor and can just manufacture any future technology on demand.
So there's no way this proxy war would be waged with just medieval armies plus mutants.
See, time travel breaks so many aspects of the normal story you want to tell.
They didn't need to introduce it, they could have just made it a fantasy where the towers are the remnants of say an elven civilization or something.
Also, Miura's reaction to Lucas' playing didn't feel plausible or natural at all. Very over the top and out of character. He's seemed like a normal person before this not overly sentimental and sensitive and emotional, but we're expected to believe that he'd literally be unable to stand, fall to his knees, sobbing his eyes out just when he heard lucas play something in a lecture?
Why?
If the idea is that he finds it so sad that Lucas has to fight in war when what he really cares about is music, then why isn't miura crying about himself or any of the rami? They're all being exploited and forced to fight when they don't care about war either.
And even if he did feel a bit sad seeing Lucas so engrossed in learning, why such an over the top reaction? instantly falling to his knees and bawling? really? come on.
And that speech he gave didn't really feel right either. I know it's mirroring when Lucas told miura to just runaway if he wants, but it was in character for Lucas to kind of oppose authority and give that kind of speech to build up his squad members . When miura does it in a much more laboured way, it feels like too much . It comes off like he's gay for lucas. If he is actually gay for lucas then it works (but the falling to his knees and sobbing is still over the top) but if he isn't gay for lucas then it's just weird.
A little sad about Poppy being a traitor.
If what she wanted most was just to go back home and live an easy life with her parents, it seems like betraying the papal states for the empire is a very risky route, more pro-active to go about that than just helping push ultra-long-range arrows. So it's a little odd that poppy would decide to become a spy for the empire unless the empire can offer something she wants even more than just chilling at her parent's farm or unless the empire threatened to destroy her family's farm first unless she became their spy or showed her some information that made her think that the papal states are highly unlikely to win.
You would have thought that the Rami who can see anything she wants would have caught her being a spy if she's been missing cleaning duties for a while though. She'd just be like "hey poppy hasn't been doing her cleaing duties, I wonder where she is?" covers eye "hey what's she doing meeting someone in secret?".
I could imagine if they make Poppy a villain then she might get a major glow up where she blossoms then her telekinesis becomes way more powerful and she becomes kind of confident in an evil way.

I knew Poppy was strange, remember that she knows how to play basketball in that era.
After reading this, it really does feel like we're not going to have a happy ending
which would be fitting for the setting but still. It hurts, I trust the author to deliver something crazy too!

Imagine we just see Poppy's decapitated head at the start of the next chapter
Though it'd be pretty anti climatic

This is just correct. Don't know why anyone was or is doing anything else. And that's not localization, just translation.
I think “betwigged” is better than both. That's from one of the earlier scanlators, right? Also is it shortened in Japanese too, or are they just cutting down their own term because they don't like it?
Don't know about either of these.
Sure.

There was plenty of foreshadowing for something off about Poppy, like knowing how to play basketball, falling to her knees when witnessing the school burning, actually mentioning the term Futurist in passing before, etc. good to see it finally paying off.
I wonder if she is an actual Futurist, or a child raised by them or something like that.
Are those red flags I’m seeing around Miura? At this point he hits the sweet spot between being prominent enough that his death would hurt readers, but not important enough the story can’t go on without him.
Speaking of which, the series is acting like it is coming to an end with the coming series invasion of Erin. Personally, I think it is a misdirection, and the series will continue past that point. It just doesn’t feel like we’ve even reached the midway point.

You are cool, Miura... don't think you aren't.
Well... it took some time to notice, didn't it? But kinda fair... everything they had to deal with recently, all that trauma, but the idiot is so stupid she revealed it herself.
I want Poppy dead in the most gruesome way possible, to me... she is not a person, she is a slime, she is the epitome of one of the bad sides of humanity, self centered laziness, I say this... because I am guilty of the same thing, but at least I work to correct that side of mine and at least balance things out.
