@Robbini I will say, I just hate the 'armor causes agility issues' trope. Properly made armor doesn't hamper as much as people think it does. Honestly, if anything, properly fitted armor shouldn't cause problems for movement other than possibly just jumping high into the air. The main concern with heavier armor is stamina. The heavier it is, the quicker the wearer gets tired overall. This is why any kind of skirmish tactic will often have people with little to no armor so they can run for longer in comparison to their enemy.
And even worse... it's 'armor' instead of armor. I would have been willing to be okay with it if it was 'leather armor with protective plating on the vitals'... but it isn't.

@Boomburst Very fair points, but did you miss the part when she did jump high in the air? Considering her combat style, I'd say she fits the 'skirmish' model pretty well. Still, plate on shoulders, hips, and knees is not proper armor. She's pratically naked.😅

@cor3zone considering how high she jumps... 10-15 extra pounds for armor is not going to change anything.

When talking about jumping high... it is the exertion required to jump two feet into the air as a normal person unencumbered vs. with armor. I guess I should have been more specific.

Am I the only one not bothered by the armor? I get that it's somewhat skimpy and lewd, but at the same time it's not even that much. Like, have you seen armor from other manga/anime? Those are even more ridiculous than this, and no one complains about it.

This honestly looks pretty cool. I'd wear it if there was a guy version.

@Boomburst While you're correct in that the weight (roughly ~50lbs or so for a suit of plate, depending on style, since Japanese authors seem to forget maille exists outside of a ninja's fishnet) wouldn't inhibit the user much thanks to its distribution, and properly tailored, it would barely limit mobility, there's one thing that you seem to be forgetting that's a major reason for an agility based fighter not to wear heavier armor: heat.

Armor doesn't exist in a vacuum and wearing it by itself would largely negate (or at least greatly hamper) its protective qualities, since it only protects against cuts and stabs while transferring the attack's blunt force directly to the wearer. Thus, you wear a thick, quilted jacket underneath your armor (regardless of what you're actually wearing, whether it be maille or plate) to soften those blows. The problem is, gambesons don't really breathe that well and they soak up sweat like it's going out of style. That really limits just how long you can fight continuously, because the longer you go, the more you get dehydrated and the more you risk heat stroke.

@scrabbleman me too.
the author didn't even draw the character in an exaggerated erotic way to begin with, so it doesn't bother me that much. if anything I kinda like her clothes, it reminds me of Rutee from tales of destiny.

I'm honestly more bothered from the dual-wield, """triple wield" with the dog crap rather than the girl's armour.
All that sequence was missing were emojis and "YEET" to make it more of a meme.

Wha... Rion's fight sequence looks mechanical and scripted af. I guess because the villain is just an over-exaggerated walking (shit)trope with super comical reactions. Not that Rion herself stick out in a meaningful way, but she's kinda cute it's ok. Next chapter should be the good stuff...
