Yomei Ichinen no Koushaku Shisoku wa, Tabi o Shitai - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

[TheOneWhoDiesAlone]

looking at how fast this is going, it'll prolly end in 20-30 chapters

 

[sanctuary]

Reading this it makes it sound like magic is almost non-existent or at its most basest forms for even the nobility. So they just never tried seeing if maybe the mana overload could be managed by him using magic repeatedly?

Seems like the father just dumped him in a bed and moved on to the brother immediately. Now he's probably the only one with enough mana to blast out these high power spells which will likely prolong his life.

We'll need to wait until we have some worldbuilding going, so far we know next to nothing about this setting. I just hope it doesn't incur in the usual tropes

Yona: Look, if this overwhelming magical power disease has cut my life down to a single year, the least it can do is help me impress a girl.

Gotta leave your seed behind

"I've been given one year to live because I'm so OP, but since I'll become even more OP it's OK!!!"

I'm waiting for the anime announcement already

This whole mana overload or whatever thing never made much sense to me. If you have too much mana, learn (ancient) magic and fire off explosions or Dragon Slaves every night.

And I know they don’t have gene therapy… I think, but at least try to eat a dragon’s liver. Or some fairy dust. Or even learn healing magic and become wizard Deadpool.

All that aside, I hope this comes out more frequently. It seems interesting.

He's been taking medicine for it. That means it's not like they never tried anything. They knew enough to know what it is and even have a prescription for it. But just like cancer, there's no cure.

 

[Elhao]

We very quickly came back to the start of chapter 1.

 

[YamiRi]

I hope this can be a long-running manga. Or if they have LN or WN, I might be tempted to catch up with it. I love the premise. The MC is good too. It is rare to find few scummy people in this premise.
Even his father, stepbro, and stepmom are not that bad.

Maybe for one doctor in one kingdom. I’m hoping his journey will lead to a more fantastical treatment.

The interesting thing is that this idea of "mana overload" isn’t new. I’ll have to give a bit of a spoiler here, but I’ll try not to reveal anything critical. In the LN/Manga Ascendance of a Bookworm, the heroine, Myne, has exactly the same illness. In Ascendance of a Bookworm, commoners born with this disease end up dying, while nobles have access to magical items that can "absorb" this excess mana. In other words, in Ascendance of a Bookworm, the heroine also can’t solve her mana overload problem just by using magic. She needs to use magical items for that. But in this manga, it seems that in this world there isn’t anything similar to solve the problem, since the MC is already a noble.

 

[chrno_12]

I discovered this manga today. I’m finding it quite promising. It has a vibe that I like. I saw a lot of people complaining about the fact that the MC, at only 11 years old, knew about the locust plague while the adults didn’t. From what I understood, the MC’s abundance of mana allows him to use spells that most people normally wouldn’t be able to. So, the solution he came up with isn’t something just anyone could have used, which is why the adults didn’t consider it. It’s no wonder the MC will be known as the “small hero.”

Yeah, that one I felt a bit more understanding towards, but she still fought hard to find a work around (I'm a bit behind in the series, though).

The one I was thinking about (besides a blurb in Negima where this was a factor), is The Villainess's Butler ~I Raised Her to Be Very Cute~. I also don't want to dive into spoilers, but mana overload is something that comes up in this series as well. I actually really liked how they handled it.

I went to a more darker place. Like the dad is blaming the son for his wife's death, and the sickness is just another reason why he doesn't want anything to do with him... Bastards, cripples, and broken things.

royal "we"

I just know you learned that term from wreck-it-ralph... but I can't prove it

 

[henryph-am]

Hmn, this is basically the early plot of Ascendance of a Bookworm with a rich male MC.
I was interested in how the author spin this story but the pacing of this manga is really weird. The spell that he used in this chapter is kind of an ass pull.

Two chapter before he couldn't cast anything but marionette, and how he's spamming black hole and fire? At least let him practice these spells during the timeskip. it doesn't feel earned at all.

 

[Thrailon]

Damn that was good, thanks for the chapter
