Okay, I um-d and ah-d over whether or not to do this one given someone went for the first chapter who - unlike me - does know Japanese, but... I liked what I'd read, and it was practice getting faster with simple redraws and choosing fonts, plus :cough: someone took another series I had my eye on and I don't think they did a very good job :cough: , so I thought what the hell, let's at least have a go.

Hopefully it reads okay and I didn't make any really stupid mistakes. Again, I'm already doing chapter three - I'm about halfway through preparing the pages - if anyone wants me to keep going, but if someone wants to step in and do a proper/non-MTL job, I'll understand.

Thanks for the chapter. That you care about name choice already puts you above 90% of MTLers out there. You could take some creative liberties with the naming, Lakktouse or thereabouts would probably be fine.

I’m still unsure where this story will go with regards to its naive and bloodthirsty main character. Will we see a quest to the pinnacle of strength or power like a proper shounen battle manga? Or will it be more of a nuanced story about opening up to others and learning how to feel? I think it’s going towards the latter, since the action scene wasn’t too flashy. I hope for a well written pivotal supporting character.

Total Noble Death

is it possible that shes the slanted eye type of person and her right eye might be blind+prosthetic

 

[darkhawk196]

I think she close her one eye on purpose so she can use that eye to fight in darkness?

She gonna be lactose intolerant soon.

eyyyyy

...but yeah, I was trying not to giggle at pretty much that while I was working on it.

From what I've read, I think the mangaka's trying for a bit of both, tbh. There's enough time spent on wordless reaction shots, internalised emoting and character development that I think it does deserve the "slice of life" tag (it's straight up cutesy at times), but while she's not a full-on shonen battle superhero or anything (it is shown pretty clearly that she's not invulnerable), there's also some pretty full-on action sequences stretched out over multiple chapters. (Stretched out quite well, not just pointlessly padded, IMO, but still.) And it remains very bloody (like chapter 1, only more so), albeit not horribly graphic (no gruesome details or anything).

Thanks for the chapter. Glad to see this back.

Feel like this manga gonna be an underrated banger.

thanks for the chapter

The eye is so disconcertingly large I feel like there must be an Important Plot Point connected to it. Cautiously looking forward to the rest

 

[NZPIEFACE]

OH! She went through time. I totally missed that in chapter 1.

I am leaning towards that as a possible plot twist, yes. (Haven't checked the rest of it closely enough yet to be able to say if there's anything that straight up gives it away.)
