Are the pronouns for the sword user meant to be she? I might be mistaken but I had thought they were a guy

Great question! It's not explicitly stated. Gleeia uses the "Ore" pronoun, which is commonly used by both men and masculine women.
A Japanese audience would typically understand that "-ia" endings of names usually indicate feminine.

There's also this:

So I'm pretty comfortable going with she until stated otherwise.

 

[RanmaChaos]

Thanks for the chapter
I guess its a mark of Rudy's growth, but I miss the build up to the final product.

 

[Raptorofwar]

that actually subverted my expectations but that's sick. Like imagine playing an mmorpg with someone and you can just parry their flail attacks to hit harder lmao

Ultrakill moment.

All they need now is to play baseball with other things. Mage fireball? Exploding grenade tossed by the archer, maybe? X)

We now need some bases and catchers and we’re all set

i mean the character's neck is drawn with an obvious adam's apple too though

Damn, that swordswoman is handsome as hell...

 

[homogenized]

I was not really expecting a bat

The bat wasn't expecting it either.

 

[ultrabread]

I guess we'll all pretend that the squad leader wasn't originally written as a man, and this story wasn't a long joke about bratty bottoms

When did this become a sports manga?

Gleeia also has a squared chin like Yugo, while Rudy, the archer and the mage all have pointy chins.

Fun fact, I did not choose the word "Vesper," it is also present in the original Japanese.
Vesper is the name of the "Evening Star" which is actually Venus, the second brightest object in the night sky.
Venus is also referred to as the "Morning Star" (or "Lucifer"), because it can be visible then as well.
Because of this, many cultures have given it two names, even if many ancient astronomers knew it was a single celestial body.
So both Gleeia's weapon and Yugo's weapon have Venus-themed names!
Cool, huh?

this is exactly the kind of naming sense that makes my inner chuuni happy

Hold on, “she”?! Nah I’m squinting and I still can’t see it

Well, can’t be making assumptions like that in the first place then if there was nothing explicitly stating what pronouns they use, I mean if you really want to play it safe then just use “they” 🤷‍♂️

That is a broken combo. Being able to redirect a ball that is essentially a freight train with zero drawbacks is crazy. Though, it does kind of feel meaningless outside of simply giving the fifth wheel something to do.

Also, she was a woman? I thought it was just a silly translation error since no matter how you look at it, that's just a generic "pretty boy" character. Not that it matter since the chapter was cool, but it's still something that caught me off guard.

I feel like the leader's a guy 'cause there's a clear two-and-two dynamic with gleeia/sara and klese/yugo. (Also Klese is totes tsundere about Yugo)

Also, like, you point at that pic but it's very clear that if they're a girl they're flat. See:

Also broad shoulders, square chin, straight waistline, etc.

Banget solution. How didn’t I think of it. It’s so cool. Fuck. Damn
