Isekai Walking - Vol. 5 Ch. 43 - Their Promise

[nope361]

in other manga, this is the point where the flag is put up that triggers “stronger ex adventurer is running a sex trafficking ring and these girls will be captured for it”. i really hope thats not what happens with how wholesome this manga has been but well see

God that would be hilarious

Depends if you are ok with a certain annoying cliche of japanese fantasy stories:

Spoiler

If you are ok with seeing yet ANOTHER fantasy protag participating in slave marketing

Very based, I hope we see more of this.

Sora is one of the worst isekai protagonists in a while. He has ABSOLUTELY NO GOAL OTHER THAN WALKING AROUND. Just stick with them for god's sake.

@Sulflower the "here's Johnny" scene was hilarious
And here we had 43 chapters of them parting ways! I wonder who will he meet next? Maybe something original, like a a new girls only party or some slave girls? That would be new...

I don't find this shitty at all. Zoomers might think it is cringe because zoomers haven't left school/college. Let this Gen X tell you the bitter truth. All those "best buds" you made will drift away until only 1 or 2 true best friends will still stick with you by the time you're 40.

I kinda wish they had hugged goodbye, they're close enough friends for that at least

Well, with this part over, let's hope this finally takes off.

Thanks for the new chapter!

It had a sad feeling to it but was made bittersweet by introducing that 'tracking device' mechanic to give that feel of 'being connected despite the distance'. I have a feeling Sora will ironically meet one of the 2 missing friends (if not both). Also Sora, will most likely meet new girls, since this might get axed if the author just let a sausage run another arc without any cute female characters that might present a romantic interest in that said sausage.
It really surprises me this got as far as this number of chapters - but strange enough I am looking forward for more of it.

Who's cutting onions in here....anyway no need to be negative in the comments i think he'll find companions soon into his new adventure

It's sweet that Chris gave Sora notes on magic. It'll definitely prove useful on his journey!

The transmitter that Sora gave Chris doubled as an adorable necklace for her! So cute! Rurika looked so thrilled to see Sora improve in his alchemy.

I'm sad that their journey together ends here for now. I'll be looking forward to their reunion! Hopefully they'll have achieved their goals by then!

I don't find this shitty at all. Zoomers might think it is cringe because zoomers haven't left school/college. Let this Gen X tell you the bitter truth. All those "best buds" you made will drift away until only 1 or 2 true best friends will still stick with you by the time you're 40.

That just means you didn't make more than 1 or 2 close friends and completely stopped making new ones. It's not life advice, it's just what happened to your personal relationships.

I'll reiterate what I said in the last thread: it's just shit writing, man. Not worth continuing.

Also I'll add some actual friendship advice here: you're never too old to make new ones, and not limited to only one or two close ones. If everyone else is drifting away from you... that's probably you drifting away, and blaming some "bitter truth about friendship that you can't control" is a coping mechanism, nothing more.

I'll be dropping this here, because Sora is not a real character and this whole separation arc feels very much like driving the only actual characters offscreen because they're stealing the show from the MC (even harem mangas wouldn't usually be this willing to isolate the MC just to introduce the author's fetish of the week) and the mangaka trying their absolute hardest to soften the blow from a character writing mistake the author baked into the foundation of the story.

If this were a remotely "realistic and gritty" story, like the copers always cry for some reason whenever a writer has their characters do something this asinine, then Sora has just consigned the two girls to be killed offscreen by the hostile gaze - it knows they are allies, and separating creates a loose end; the "realistic and gritty" response is to eliminate the possibility of the threat coming from multiple angles (if the eyes are truly that dangerous), meaning the "realistic and gritty" truth is that Sora is an irredeemable asshole with no real regard for the wellbeing of his friends.

Again... it's just shit, man.

im probabaly the only one in here that likes how they parted because it makes me feel sad and want to read what happens after

Nah, me too. I also like that the parting felt decently emotional and not rushed.

 

[Rutellum]

The author must be coocking something

 

[tohkaknight]

why is it fucking raining

 

[NeloDante]

Good, I was looking for mangas to drop.
