I notice he's being drawn a lot more grown up now. When this thing started he wasn't really a match for her, still a kid compared to her, but now you can see he's getting ready to be her man.

@ikuto25 To the contrary, looks optimistic to me. This is the first time he touched her heart. The ship is still in harbour, hasn't yet cast off, but there is for the first time a wind filling the sails.

Subtle. Way to conceal your plotting, girl. So my take is, in a kind of twisted way she's in love with the heroine. She's jealous of both the book and the mangaka.

I'm on the fence about this. On one hand, all the individual bits of dialogue are, as usual, pretty damn cool. And it's an interesting thing to try. Whether it's ever been done before or not, it's still fairly experimental, and there's definitely a feeling of stretching oneself, not settling...

Really, it's a shame nobody's working on this--I mean, it's Kawahara Kazune, she's a legend. Thanks for giving it some exposure!

Some of the people here haven't heard of the "first guy wins" rule. 95% of the time in manga, webtoons and such, the first guy the female lead sees and gets a bit wobbly over is the end game. Blondie does not have a realistic chance here. He's being built up partly because his position gives...

I think people are being too hard on the guy. Elope? Yeah, don't be ridiculous. In a society like that, that kind of thing can seriously ruin your life. Not like they know any trades. What would a pair of basically useless ex-lesser nobility do? Hope one of them turns out to have magical...

@Chrona You're sourcing from some kind of cult site. WTF?

The whole time I was reading this chapter, I kept thinking of Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes saying "Muchas smooches! Muchas smooches!"

@Chrona On your first comment, where you said "Glad to see the author doesn't avoid the fact that even such conditions were a step up from feudalism." Her solution in this particular situation was probably about the best she could do. And spending time foraging in the woods is certainly...

That's . . . so tragic . . . no cream filling! The world is so cruel.

@Babydel Ah, I see.

@Jaegrqualm Oh my god. That is insane. For the record, I read through a bunch of the book titles, not to mention those little bits of text about decapitating people over eels, and it really had an impact on the atmosphere and the flow of what was going on. It would have made much less sense...

@Abeehiltz Well, if it started at a certain quality level I wouldn't say anything. It's like, they're doing their best and their current level of skill is what it is. But if it's a certain way and then suddenly drops and it's the same group, then my back-of-mind suspicion is someone sorta...

@Kirin-kun I totally got philosophical about the meanings of life and love when I was a teen. Mostly by myself, mind you.

Oh dear. I thought this was going to be a cute romance with this, you know, odd twist of the girl having this excessive devotion to the person and the concealed identity. And then I thought OK, looks like it's going to add an extra curve now and then. But now it's psychos, psychos everywhere...

Impressive. They had the sex, did the flashback, lots of reveals . . . and I still feel like there's stuff about this whole marriage deal, and what happens to him in it, that I don't understand.

Her: "Oh my god that was so cu--, er, bad! As punishment you have to do it all day!"

Fun! But, carbonated fresh vegetable juice . . . eewww.

@justforthelulz She's just too fluffy for rivals, and in the case of your less pleasant rivals he'd hear their real selves, so there's happily not much room for that kind of stuff. Doesn't fit the style anyhow.
