In this episode, Yajin continues to pursue his argument with noted local food critic, Hugo!
Also, there is still no raw available for the next chapter, so there might be nothing more coming till December.
I think the idea is that he was trying to hit the chin and knock Hugo out cold, but Hugo's real jaw was hidden by the folds of fat, so no force was actually transferred to his skull.
I don't normally bother to translate it because it's always the same, but there's usually a side bar on one page of the manga promoting the authority of the LN novel author with respect to Asian martial arts, and questioning the various myths associated with them.
In this episode, Yajin discovers the power of a double chin!
Also, if someone would kindly post the first chapter number for vol. 12, I can correct the chapter list.
It's difficult to keep track of Yajin's level, but his last known level is 21 (after fighting the phantom fox), which means he is still lower than Melgo (the fisherman guy who was Yajin's last overpowered foe).
I haven't read all the wn, but there are big differences in the story since coming to Toulon. The workshop siblings are the same, as is their backstory, but in the wn Yajin immediately bends the knee to Emden and becomes his main torturer and one of the Green enforcers. I think the Manga...
Based on 'Green' Hugo's dialogue at the end of ch59, I think it's a mistake by the mangaka, and he just reused a character design in error. But who knows?
I also have the next chapter on the work table, and I can say that Hugo is huge-o...
In this episode, Yajin runs away agai- Wait, what?!?
Also, congratulations to Miserys_End, for correctly guessing this episode's mystery twist: midgets!
In the LN, when Yajin gets to Toulon, he goes from zero to most notorious murderer and torturer in about a week, so the manga is really pussyfooting in comparison. Although the LN does have a bit where he doesn't murder a young boy, and afterwards is stressing that he will regret not killing.
In this episode: Baron Rudi Schmidt, Lord Captain of my heart! Also, Yajin after taking a break from genocide, begins his experiments with infanticide.
I don't recall the exact number, but from the LN, I think Ben also has a higher level than Yajin.
And as far as a better place, there isn't really one in this world. His workshop is behind guards, and he doesn't have to do anything risky that puts his sister in danger.
