as promised, my life is yours, maidfan..
also, holy shit, that was. awesome. originally i was sad there was no kobatohru developments but to be honest this lines up with the story really well, i'm glad fafnir is getting more screentime. shin's a good kid, kobayashi's being a mom again, and tohru wants kobayashi to watch her carefully.. again, all consistent to what i already know, so i like it a lot. good stuff, love the TL, amazing job to everybody who worked on this :) now we wait for 151!!
(also, like everybody else here, i am so fucking tempted to learn if that's takiya?? because what do you mean "white" told someone to shut up for being mean to tohru?? who's in there and why would they be attached to tohru? if it's takiya, that's one sided as hell, man.. i respect you respecting your friend's wife, though.)

Norse mythology can be a good setting, just not for Isekai or reverse isekai. Something like Mesopotamian mythology or a Christian supposal; as CS Lewis called the idea; would have been better IMO.
It's just, you know, after reading or watching various media including western comics/shows/movies/video games, it gets a bit tiring after YEARS of seeing it or its influence everywhere.

Yes I know, various mythologies across from countries all over the world has influenced/inspired our media because it IS part of culture.
And the mythology is (and still is) cool as hell especially to the Japanese that heck, it's even in One Piece too.

I just wish more authors would make up their own mythology/deities/etc. like with Dark Souls, or at least use lesser known ones. I haven't actually played DS tbh, so I could be wrong about what influenced it though.

However, I do understand that making up a "true" mythology is hard if not impossible without a whole country or more believing them as "truth" or as part of their religion like in ancient times.

I didn't like this arc until these last few chapters, but now it's getting interesting. I like this.

I totally agree, my point is that my suggestions would be less trodden ground and therefore more untold stories could follow if you aren't going to make something new.

I just reread it.

  • Kiyama (the isekaid boy)
  • And then Kobayashi's friend Makoto Takiya

HUH. I'm usually more perceptive with things like this.
In my, and probably other people's defense:
  • I have stopped judging characters for looking similar and/or having black hair in anime/manga because of same-face syndrome.
  • That Obayashi king having a similar name, if not actually related to Kobayashi, threw me off.
  • Unsurprisingly, a lot of us are bad with remembering Japanese names. If their character designs aren't that distinct, then people are even less likely to remember them.
  • His younger age back then. I automatically assumed it's some random shota.
  • Where there any hints before these chapters? For example, him not freaking out after seeing Tohru's dragon form for the first time? I assumed he didn't panic because he was a gamer and "familiar" with fantasy stuff.
Chapter 133, near the end, hints at the Isekai story 12-13 chapters later.Telne stalks Takiya after work, they reintroduce themselves, Takiya makes a "you are so small now!"-gesture, Telne points at her horns and Takiya apologizes earnestly.
