Teisou Gyakuten Sekai no Doutei Henkyou Ryoushu Kishi - Ch. 12.2

[MrTurtleMan]

If you aren't going to stick around because it's licensed then why are you even translating this chapter? Is it just to advertise your group and your patreon?

Did valhalla girl not think that they’d all be killed?

Did she not think about any consequences at all?

She basically saw the consequences of her own actions and rather than accomplish anything is just giving up.

I get honorbound characters and stuff but I hate how brainless her “honor” really is. She isn’t fighting for anything anymore and got everyone killed already, but I’ll hand it to the author this was a GOOD character even if I really hate her stupidity because most overly idealistic people who don’t ground themselves atleast somewhat end up like this.

Hope Valerie and her goons stay safe.

If you believe in Valhalla the only requirement is dying in battle with a weapon in your hand, this is why I find the idea of people actually believing in the Norse religion laughable, if you truly believe you can get to paradise by dying in battle why are you still alive? Why aren't you waging constant war trying to die in battle? I am friends with a neo-pagan who supposedly believes in the Norse religion and she just side stepped the question, it isn't like there aren't wars to go sign up for, go to Ukraine or the middle east. You don't even have to be on the "good side" according to that religion every SS officer that died in battle is in Valhalla.

This manga has become super confusing.

Nah, it just doesn't get regular updates so it's easy to forget everything

fool thinking they are going to valhalla when they acted like bandits, no honor in your death helheim your resting place.

The vikings were bandits themselves, they raided defencless coastal villages in the dead of night killing the men, and raping and enslaving the women and children. You think bandits wouldn't make it to Valhalla when that is how the people that came up with Valhalla behaved?

Wasn't this soft porn. How come it's actually interesting to read

 

[Gustbk]

Thanks for finishing the chapter, sad it won’t get picked up.
I was really liking the direction the story was going…guess 2 years from now I might get to read another scanlated chapter.

My mouth is agape at the people complaining that a manga about a man in a gender-reversed medieval world, where we're told from page one that he's the freak male and all other fighters are women... Has lots of scenes with women fighting.

 

[StormSen]

Agreed. The action was... Really not great, it took me several hours to figure out what happened in the fights thanks to the lack of any sense of moment

It's the opposite. Vast majority of manga fights are poses, speedlines and dialog. This one actually shows the elements of the fight. Difference is that this time we need to work at it a bit to understand the strikes, counters, etc. It's all shown if you pay attention.

Also, damn! Good job artist! Especially the final couple of pages.

Official English translation of the manga's 3rd volume (Chapters 11-14) is out at the end of July this year.

Next chapter is what I expected. Hannah's flashback before actually dying Which matches with what happens next.

Then we get Duke Astarte finally arriving. 'Viva la Vida'. Yes, that is the chapter title.

Then a bit of an early departure. We start Volume 4 with the story of Faust's mom. 'Crazy Marianne'

 

[GryphusOne]

Not sure why a good chunk of comments don't like this not being the typical isekai fanservice OP MC harem power fantasy slop

 

[DregoRM]

Holy shit, this was great.

 

[RiceScum1]

Where is mc? i kinda lost interest now

 

[Mordenheim]

Polidoro is the only one that gets shit done in that whole army, they really are a group of incompetents

The fact that we get one chapter per year doesn't helps, but did Hana got killed by one of the boys they rescued? apparently people in the comments are saying that he was a squire for Caroline, but hardly remember her having a squire at all, in fact he looked like one of the hostages being used to have Polidoro surrender

But Zabine refers to the "boy" as a she, the missing driver she was looking for last chapter, but if the boy which had a crossbow, was a she, why didn't they just disarm her? in fact even if it was a boy, didn't they took the crossbow after they found him in the first place

I get it that they are all incompetent and a loser failure poop sham of an army meant to fail from the start, but this is kind of nonsensical levels of incompetence to not even bother and secure the weapons around

Well, the situation is confusing af, but if I understand it correctly:
There is enemy boy mixed in the group of kidnapped, village boys. He survived the Polidoro's onslaught because one of the Caroline's soldiers used him as a fake hostage and the girls which went to the village to look for the guys doesn't suspect anything until it's too late, including Zabine who realizes there is still enemy soldier afoot.

I thought I was pretty clear with my comment. The manga in the current chapters doesn't match the tone of it's first chapters. It went from lewd comedy to temu berserk. I never said a word about the WN. Some of you are reading far too deeply into this. Whether it's the same as the WN or not is completely irrelevant and has nothing to do with anything. I'm just talking about the manga, in comparison with the manga. If the shift matches what was done in the WN, it only means that I think the exact same thing of the WN. Pretty simple opinion, really.

In response to your original comment, though. Saying it was "obviously meant to be a lewd comedy", I'm pretty sure it wasn't. Since writing is a different medium, I'm sure the author had it in his mind that this world is grittier than what those first chapters make it seem like before writing it.

Also, to be turned off or to dislike the manga because of a change in tone, one which I think is pretty good in that it misleads you first then hits you later down the line, seems like you haven't read a lot of manga or media in general. A change in tone isn't necessarily a bad thing if done well. I think this did it well.

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼

 

[karmsand]

chick that got Zabined.

This sentence gave me a chuckle, thank you

 

[cryum]

Damn feels like a lot was changed from the novel. Paced pretty well though, more in line with later chapters.

Man, I forgot about this series and then got some whiplash. Umm, reading through the comments it does seem like the author (be it the WN or this Manga or whatever) could've done a better job establishing the tone from the start. I'm not even really sure how you connect the first chapter and this one. And yeah sure, stuff happens and series aren't all one thing, but also it's only been 12 chapters and people are clearly having difficulty following the plot, story, and characters: that's not good. It's not the job of ANY reader to explain what is even happening to other readers. It's not that some people get it and others don't; it's that this many people are confused at all. Really a good writer doesn't want any readers to not be able to follow what's happening or to feel like they are reading a different story.

As for me, man I just don't see what's interesting about this story anymore. It can't JUST be a genderswapped medieval world with armies doing battle. It needs to do something with this gimmick. I don't see how this chapter would be any different if every single character were changed into male. It doesn't have to be huge or even the comedy angle, but give me something significant as for why I'd read this series specifically.

 

[FANNYMAN231]

No, no, I understood what he was trying to say. It's just a stupid ass thing to say

God damn, I really thought that I didn't have to use /s in the first part of my part post, didn't know that I was going to be hated this much.

To clarify, I don't hate the tone shift the manga took. I really like the dark shift it took, I just want the MC back. It's been a few chapters since we got even a glimpse of him, that's all.

People have real issues when it comes to remembering things over time. And there has been a bit of time between now and then. I personally don't have an issue connecting this and the first two chapters, though I admit I may have a slight bias because I enjoy this series. Faust is a lauded war hero, the strongest knight in Anhalt, and very ready to kill over insults to his mother. He is also extremely horny, obsessed with big boobs in particular, and his dick is large enough that the codpiece/chastity belt he wears hurts him greatly. Faust is also incapable of reading feelings people have for him, as Ingrid points out (she is the merchant).

I won't argue the point about the transition could be better done. Sure, it could have. I just think it is adequate for the purposes of the story. This last little bit just reads a lot rougher in the manga, thanks to the changes it made.

I also think the complaint that this is a different story is a bit dumb, though that is mostly because this is still the first volume of work in the LN/first arc of the WN, and the first two volumes of the Manga. Well, three now, but the battle stuff started at the end of Volume 1 (the entry into the village). We don't get over that until the trial is done. We are squarely in the middle of it. This is still setting the world's tone, moving initial characterization forward, etc.

I get what you are saying about gender flipping, but it is a funny line in the gender reversal manga that the female cast could swap for men and nothing would change. Like. . . yes, that is the point?

 

[Xanagos]

it has been 2 years that this rain saga started and never seems to end, I cant remember slow paced shit

 

[motheblackcat]

Dayum the bait with Guts lookalike in a women world to a bunch of random women soldier you don't care about fighting badly in a long annoying stretch...

 

[Bibliothecarius]
