The RAWS already have up to chapter 63+, and GDS is barely scanlating this...

It's really good wow, i haven't been this hooked on a series before, i read the entire manga after watching 2 episodes of the anime, well it might just be because i love swords in general no matter what kind it is so a Swordsmanship focused series just automatically made me interested

40 yrs old and some 18 yrs and 22 yrs and the others are 17 yrs. 100% JP worker fantasy.
I discounted the loli because that is practically a joke.

The adventurer (Slena/Serena/Surena) looks like she was about seven when he first found her. Then he trained her for three years. Then she was adopted and didn't see him for twenty years after that (chapter 11 page 27). If you do the math, this chick is about thirty.

We don't get any indication of Allucia's age, other than she wasn't old enough to drink when she first joined the Royal Knights, but we don't know how long ago that was and nobody is talking about how young she is to be the captain of the Royal Knights. She seems to have been in the position for a while. She's voiced like an adult woman and Surena doesn't treat her like a child, which she probably would if she Allucia were significantly younger just to get under her skin.

Kuruni and Fissel both seem quite a bit younger than the other two, but neither of them have expressed any romantic interest in Beryl. It's just the older two. Beryl was a late teen or young adult when he found Surena, and he's just barely starting to go gray, so he's probably around 40.

So yeah, there is an age gap, but a 30 year old woman chasing a 40 year old man isn't that weird, and the younger ones don't seem to be interested. Surena and Allucia definitely see each other as competition and get jealous when the other gets to spend time with him, but they don't worry at all when he's spending time around the younger ones. It's all surprisingly normal, especially for manga/anime. Normally for a JP worker fantasy you'd expect everyone to be after him, but they aren't, because it's not that kind of story.

You got thinks mixed up, each chapter seems to be divided into parts, the last few chapters have had 3 parts each, currently the latest raw chapter is 33.3

We have up to 31, so we are 2 chapters behind. And usually the last 3 parts released are paid.

That is to say, we should be getting the translation for chapter 32 in the next few days, and for chapter 33 next month.

 

[AbyssalSire]

Man, the anime was a huge letdown, they are not managing to give the fights the feeling of speed and intensite making it a much inferior experience when compared to the manga. They also seem to be skipping over some details like having him cut th mat with a dull blade or the scene where his disciples were thinking of fighting but felt like he wouldn't allow them do so.

The fight in the first episode had some potential, but they really did not put any emphasis on his speed, he just appeared on the vice commander's back.

A real shame, I was excited to see it animated.

And the less we talk about episode 3 with two major letdown fights, the better

 

[Raifurain]

The anime has nothing on this manga. It's great.

 

[RWorld]

I already love the anime.

100% JP Worker Fantasy eh?

https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/g18196551/celebrity-couple-age-differences/

https://www.vogue.com/article/30-year-age-gap-marriage

You know all it took is a simple google search, the first link is just a celebrity's example while the second is an affair between a 30 years gap that lasted 45 years, it ended when the significant other died

And those only a sliver, a small amount of examples, who knows how many age gap couple out there

Is it creepy? Majority say so
Scandalous? Absolutely
Are they happy? That's for them to decide

But not really my point, my point is those with large age gap relationships exist everywhere, not fantasy, both in high society or lower one, as long as they're legal

And so, there's a sufficient prove and facts that it's not entirely impossible for such relationships to exist,

If its still too hard to swallow let me soften it a bit, our topic is on a manga, a fictional media, thus doesn't affect or harm anyone,

Now would you rather become a resident of twitter who famously foaming in the mouth because they're unable to differentiate fiction and reality is up to you

I'm gonna touch some grass, I suggest you too, have a nice day

You sadly sound like a groomer apologist if you think that it's okay for a 40-year old man to date a 17-year old girl. Do you truly think they are on the same level of maturity for this to be a healthy thing?

Age gap romance sure can be healthy when it takes place between two consenting adults, but if one of them isn't, then it shouldn't happen at all, it's that simple. What normal adult would want to date a teenager anyway?

If you think a single positive case means all such cases should be left alone means you are too naive. You talk about differentiating between fiction and reality, while trying to justify it happening in real life. You say there is a lot of evidence of it being healthy, but there are just as many of them ending in tragedy, you can just google around and find hundreds cases of grooming.

I'm not saying this out of hate, just to point out that in reality this is a matter that shouldn't be taken lightly, more so in the modern society.

I'm willing to make peace with you, if you apologize, and said your accusation is just a misunderstanding,

Here's my reply:

Don't put your words in my mouth, I'm justifying nothing, all I did was give an example where the previous comment said it's a JP Worker fantasy,

You say there is a lot of evidence of it being healthy, but there are just as many of them ending in tragedy, you can just google around and find hundreds cases of grooming.

Which one of my comments says it's healthy? None, all I did was give an example case, I never said it's healthy, just that it exists

"I'm not saying this out of hate, just to point out that in reality, this is a matter that shouldn't be taken lightly, more so in modern society."

You sure you aren't doing this out of malice?

I am being accused and slandered for sounding like a groomer (all I did was give an example that we're living in a world where those exist), and then you spammed me with a strike react like Twitter SJW losing an argument,

All I see is you being a hypocrite playing knight

^This is you, right? So you're saying it's fine if the MC has a romantic relationship as long as it's just with one of his disciples? Why are you even here if you know this manga has Old dude and Young disciples premise??

^What about this? You clearly dislike Age gap, and yet (see image below)

^This is also you right? Liking a comment about harem erotica manga between older Woman and a teenage male, and suddenly it's okay? What's your excuse? Because inside the MC they are an adult? The body is still a teenager, okay rudeus that's some mental gymnastics to make you feel safe reading it

I saw what you read, you're not any better person than I am, I'm willing to bet you're not young either, so by your logic, if you're reading any media with an attractive teenager in it(Like this manga), you can be considered a pedo, yeah sucks doesn't it?
Next time, think again before accusing someone.

You also seem to like Yuri, a genre I also like, but the Majority consider LGBTQ stuff Taboo, but you seem to defend them, Why? Because it fits your agenda? Because it's just fiction? Are you going to defend Age Gap Yuri stories? Because double-standard?

If it's bothering you so much, why don't you go around searching for any manga, doujin, anything about age gap romance, and go rate them as low as you can get, and then slander the people who read it, you have plenty of those here

I hope you read all of it, cause being accused and spammed strike sucks

I never support real-life grooming, cause let's be real, a lot of people only like age gap romance ONLY in fiction

 

[arizonaant]

I have been watching the anime and truthfully usually it follows then novel over the manga adaption which is fine, but if the anime really follows how the light novel is. I think the manga version is superior

 

[R4nd0mGuy]

Turn out this now getting a webtoon. Was surprised earlier while reading other stuff on Webtoon app. Only read the first chapter but it basically colored & formatted.

oh shit, she's 30? nice. i am so sick of every manga being high schoolers

love that they made the two main girls real adults and not just hot ojisan lol

So you're telling me this guy isn't Paul grayrat?

 

[jeremymd]

The quality of this manga compared to the current anime adaptation is proof of how bad adaptations can be.

 

[jeremymd]

I really like the art style, now whenever the mc is such a spineless/dickless/impotent/dense-af/zero-sexual-awareness Oji-san is an entirely different story (this trope needs to die), I'll give this a 7 for the art, I almost give it a 6

If you want to self-insert in a power fantasy with girls swooning over you, there's plenty of that already. Not here.

I never said anything about power fantasy tho

 

[Drifter]

If the anime really follows the novel then the manga is something like a second draft. The characters seem more real and the story flows much better.

Damn bro, you went full on Sherlock on his ass. Respect. Let anime be anime.

But I do hate these pointless romances that go nowhere.
