Sekai Saikyou no Kouei: Meikyuukoku no Shinjin Tansakusha - Vol. 9 Ch. 35 - Initiative

[Moodyz]

Saw the title and expected a chapter about landscaping.
How disappointing…

 

[terranmcv]

Eh, I've been hit by a full-force handball. Lower velocity, but much higher weight. A tennis ball is maybe a bit painful, if it hits badly, but nothing severe. I don't see how it would be effective in stopping an attacker.

I believe the tennis ball used is not an ordinary one (and the racket too).
This is a magical world.

 

[X4IR3]

he sure has a lot of patience...if it were me, i would've already smacked her head in the ground.

Dude is a saint.

 

[ShiitakeCat]

Thanks for the TL! I hope you'll pick this up!

 

[alacaelum]

why not?
because that's the point where it went from "fantasy, with comedic tone" to "comedy, but in fantasy world"

I like KonoSuba, but it's because I knew from the start that it's a comedy. It may have a somewhat serious plot at times, but in the end, it's a comedy. So you can have a power of basketball, power of chess, power of swinging dicks for all I care.
it's fun.

But when you go from a somewhat serious fantasy world to suddenly full on comedy, it's really jarring.

Hmmm... well, I think we will agree to disagree.

I don't think just because they use "tennis" and "swimming" as the theme for their abilities, this becomes a comedy, there is a lot more to comedy than just funny powers.

I am mean... you can laugh at Jojo, but when someone is capable of turning meat into a spray even the one of other people or a fishing rod that can pass trought matter and tear someone apart... laughing may be the first instinct... until you see how terrifying they are.

 

[Eliminateur]

Thank you for the chapter! I appreciate Snow_Snow's translations very much as well, but there's no arguing how long they go between chapters.

I'll be honest, I thought "swimming through the ground" would be her power. Guess we'll just have to see, huh?

they release far too long, we need more releases waaaay faster, 3 montsh is way too much

I can't get hit by that, because I don't live in that world, which was the premise. The "but magic" argument doesn't work in this case.

 

[Amariithynar]

Come on dude. At least ask us if we dropped it or not

Probably didn't even look at when the raws came out, just looked at the last time that chapters came out and went from that, sadly. Please do continue to work on this series!

Raws come out every 3 months, mate.

 

[Wolvenworks]

Updates take so long for so little actual content, I'd dread being a japanese fan waiting for this and just ending up on these super subpar chapters.
Edit: Just checked the RAW website and my god, it updates every 3 months for a single chapter. They're currently done with chapter 38. Awful pacing, we're all going to perish from old age before this gets to chapter 100.

On the other end, weeklies do wreck the healths of most mangakas, especially as they hit the 50s (Oda and Togashi being notorious for overworking themselves)

 

[Shinigamisama]

I just realized that those 4 girls are like school club members.

Abe supports this decision to mana transfer.

 

[UncleKaos]

Try to get hit by a fullspeed tennis ball and the we can talk about it

well it still is a soft ball that HURTS like heck. so i think she is using balls made of harder material.

and you are alittle hard to the kendo lass. she is protective and nervous because it is a NEW team she is working together.. and she is social awkward. i do think she will be better.

I already started 37 and 38 a few weeks or a month ago but still i need to work on last part of chapter 38 to be able to start proofread it.
as i know the manga series is released bi-monthly by Rikizo. I expect chapter 39 would be around this May or June but there's no update yet by Rikizo on Twitter. He's busy on playing ZZZ and making art about it (base on his tweets)

 

[Kynnath]

I always find it funny in this manga that the bad guys are guys with harems, and the good guy is a guy with a harem.

 

[Korvalus]

and then...
TENNIS

and I was like What. The. F...................................................

If you think about it, tennis is just a sport variant of a Throwing Skill with specialisation on mid-range, deflection and agility.
One that, if developed properly IRL, can throw balls at rather ludicrous speeds on serves (WR is at 163.7 mph). It's also very demanding physically, so players tend to be very fit and strong which is right the adventuring alley.

And that's before adding magical mumbo-jumbo. Serving lighting-infused cannonballs at the speed of sound? Returning in a reverse a magical beam to the caster? Multi-hit with the rpm of a gatling? Seem legit.

 

[undeed]

(and in detail the next chapter)

lighting-infused cannonballs

change it with "a ball of water"

if you want to fanfic all the ridiculousness, sure, you do you

 

[undeed]

you can laugh at Jojo

you're missing the point
it's about the conflicting tone and deconstructing/contradicting what has previously established

Jojo is established from the very beginning that it's going to be over the top
so no matter how bizarre the adventure is going to be, one can more easily accept it

But when you introduce something truly outlandish into what was previously accepted as more "normal" fantasy,
it took me out of the immersiveness and broke down the suspension of disbelief
thus, the "WTF moment"

and if you're fine with it, then by all means

 

[meiditya]

Come on dude. At least ask us if we dropped it or not

If you not dropped it, why you keep it for so long? even the last chapter you released is 3months ago and the RAW is last year.
Sure, the series is bi-monthly, but keeping the series suspended like that, i dont mind if there is any sniper sniping around the series.
You almost looks like that scanlation who keep hostage the chapter till their patreon filled.

 

[JamAdo]

Seeing this chapter all I can think of is Rival Schools/Project Justice, but maybe that's my age showing.

 

[alacaelum]

you're missing the point

I didn't, I understood your point, I see how you came to that conclusion, I just don't think the same.

I never saw this as this "hardcoded" "hardcore" story, I was ready to see some interesting things, be they silly, fun or creative.

Mind you... I am very open-minded. During the years, I "learned" to temper my expectations, it has brought me to a point where I just let a story run its course, I separate what I like and what I don't, and take the good with the bad.

It made me overly tolerant of some things that I think weren't really good, but it made me able to appreciate and be surprised much better.

 

[BigPoppaEffy]

Tennis player I can sort of get behind, but swimming instructor!?

"And witness Four Season's power!"

Please tell me they get wiped lol
