I fall back to describing it as "The Worf" from Star Trek. Being the warrior of the crew, when ever a character shows up and they want them to be powerful and threatening, they beat Worf in combat, so the show's audience knows he is a serious threat.
I think the problem with that comparison is that it makes Worf basically useless; if every big bad beats him, then he's functionally incompetent.

I prefer the pro wrestling comparison because you can book a debuting wrestler to go over a wrestler already on your roster clean, yes, but they can also put up a valiant effort and look good in a loss, they can just get straight up squashed, or they could just straight up squash the guy they're debuting against; it gives so many more options for depicting a debuting character's level of competence beyond just Worf getting jobbed out all the time.

also, wonder if it a a translation issue, she says "it's heavy" after hitting the mannequin and falling to cut, and when Beryl shares his anecdote about the "heaviness", he says "I bent a sword once", which def feels more like a "hard" issue than a "heavy" one. or tiring, that could also work
Ye. Tough or hardness might be the more proper word, here.

This still sticks out as the most improvement I’ve seen going from LN to manga. Usually I prefer the LN cause it has more in it but here it’s just better. Also Beryl’s LN internal monologue is quite a bit lamer.

I hope the translation steps up.

I am thankful for anyone putting their time and effort in picking up such works as we get to enjoy it. The translation was good for the first few chapters, then some slight grammatical problems cropped up for the next few chapters but it is fine as it was just that few... Then things kind of revved up and now we have this chapter where the translation is starting to step into wild territory and some dialogues are either hard to understand or simply downright head-scratching.

I think the point of this manga is not for him looking for wife but more like him gathering more "disciples".
The ending will be him opening new dojo branch in the capital lol

This reminds me of I’ll Parry Everything manga / LN. That character is even more OP. It is weird this has a harem tag. He just had a fan club of men and women.

That said the manga is really different from the ln, like extremely. I wonder how common that is...
That's why Anime promote LN instead so it's novel accurate. Tbf it's kinda a shame that selling point of the series is manga version of it

Just read through this after seeing the anime 1st ep, didn't expect to see pure swordfighting battle manga, the magic isn't that prominent. Hopefully the fight animation can live up to expectation.

It's been disappointing so far, which I expected from the trailers. At least the manga is still really great.

I'm actually enjoying this series for a while now, and I'm saddened to end at this point. I actually want to see more of the girls' character developments!!! :facepalm:

Beryl is an amazing teacher hot damn. Like not only is he knowledgeable about the form and technique he actually makes the process of learning fun. Also he has a rare ability to empathise and show not tell. Asdfrfjsg good chapter peak manga

The old man is the strongest in this manga for sure, imagine if he got his hands on magic, just by enhancing bro's strength and reaction time would make him untouchable.

Faustes really had a hard life on the battlefield if he's that soft and gentle to other people. I couldn't even imagine dawg
