We’re back!

 

[jlazarillo]

Series is back after a short hiatus due to all the crap that happened over at MangaOne. And no break next week!

I do like how this was so foreboding as a cliffhanger, only to open with them making it clear they've been preparing for this. I agree with Creo, it ain't gonna be easy, but I think this is gonna be the beginning of the counter-attack!

Also couple points of note regarding the translation:

1. Back several chapters ago, when Vipera appeared, and they were discussing Kohaku's servant, I translated a line saying that he had defeated "the flying devil". It was actually the same term they used in this chapter to describe the Lunarians. So the Baron mentioned in this chapter was probably taken out by "Dadrose".

2. Speaking of "the Baron", the Japanese is not clear if there are multiple creatures that hold each rank, or just one. I deliberately avoided singulars/plurals, and my guess because of the silhouettes is that they're supposed to be singular, but it's not 100% for sure.

Oh, so Nanao-sensei was able to deal with everything, man, I am so happy for that.

Hope that it is the same for every single author screwed in the mangaone debacle.

And man... what a chapter to return to.

Cleo's own existence already is a hiccup on "fate's" designs, the fact that he can give them info on the ranks of those monsters is, by itself, a huge help.

Would have been better if the other Volundio hadn't screwed with the city's military potential, but it is what it is, if they don't protect this city... and keep the damage as contained as possible... Kohaku's return will get farther.

So there's a whole 'nother empire out in outer space

 

[Raydnt]

Im out of the loop, what happened with mangaone?

 

[jlazarillo]

Im out of the loop, what happened with mangaone?

It was discovered that one of their editors help a manga author try to cover up some pretty heinous cases of sexual assault, and when it got exposed, even went to the point of helping him hide his identity from the rest of MangaOne staff, in order to get him hired again to start a new series. A lot of creators pulled their work from the platform, and several who are published primarily through it also put their series on hold to figure out how best to proceed, since there was a breakdown of trust with the editorial staff.

And THEN it got worse and turned out that MangaOne had also hired Tatsuya Matsuki (creator of Act Age) also under a new pseudonym (though MangaOne has claimed that that wasn't covered up, and staff were aware of this). This made fewer waves for various reasons, but still left editorial staff in the lurch, untrusted by a lot of the creators, and Shogakukan (the publishing company) has hired a third-party law firm to fully audit things and make sure there isn't more nasty stuff going on.

Nanao was one of the artists who put the series on hold out of concern the platform might be going under, but right now, things are kinda...stabilizing again, and Nanao's own editor was (apparently, according to another artist) not the one who was the source of all the trouble, so though he weighed going to a self-published platform, or even dropping the series and starting something new (apparently, he's had ideas!), he's decided to resume the series and see it to its completion.

 

[Novis]

Ooooo man. Thinks are going to get WILD for the next few chapters. DREAAAAD

 

[Pen3]

I hope the high priestess doesn't die and gets reunited with kohaku.

Humanity greatest adversary always was fate/stay night

 

[G_me]

Fate, run from it, hide from it, but in the end fate comes to bite.

But like that one cowboy guy did, if a snake bites you, you bite it back.

When the world greet you grimly, you greet it back grimly. Survive.
