Whatever happened to the manga where the guy sees his childhood friend get proposed to by a hero/prince and takes off into the woods for years? I think he ends up with an elf chick as well.
@Supercheese The manga was called Sono Mono Nochi ni, and from what I heard there was something about it being axed due to the authors health, but that's all I know.
So... based on the fact he started his training at 5 or 6 and been training for 10 years (stated in Ch. 1)... doesn't that mean this huge musclewizard is 15 or 16...
