Ah, the stereotypical large-chested glasses-wearing female librarian. Lol

 

[audinue]

Spear... Archery? Huh??

 

[Solemmaru]

I don't know whether those rank are real word in raw or translator kinda mistranslate it
also what is 'spear archery', if it's piercing archery it make sense

 

[StormTAG]

Pretty sure those are supposed to be like Chess piece ranks, or Go piece ranks or someshite. I dunno much about Go.

 

[Grevados]

It's a mix of Chess and Shogi piece names. Not sure why they'd use both like this but /whatever.

Edit: I was wrong, they're all Shogi pieces, with a couple "promoted" mixed in, though instead of "spear" it's usually called "lance".

 

[zStella]

@Solemmaru @StormTAG It goes by [Tier] [Skill]. The [Tier] is apparently named with the names of pieces inside Shogi, a Japanese game that's similar to chess.

They're meant to be used as classifications, but alas, the formal names of the pieces in shogi are kinda written in stone and can't really be renamed, so they sound silly reading them as-is, especially with the long ones. It doesn't look as silly when it stays as Japanese.

Huge ass war bow + spear. GG

>Make the main premise that the MC's uber-overpowered character was stolen from in and he has to make due with a sub
>Make the sub powerful as hell anyway, so there isn't even a real change

Then why do it

 

[Eviltwinq]

But thats the friggin premise,the journey to make him as powerfull or even surpass his main.
Just because he one shot three big mantises doesnt mean he's as powerfull or broken as his main whose pretty much the no.1 ranker in the game.

 

[secretive783]

He's literally holding the bow backwards on page 14 first panel lmao

 

[zekkendo]

@secretive783

From what I remember about traditional Japanese archery (kyūdo I think?), they let the bow "follow through" in a way so that the bow ends up in a "backwards" position

Might want to check me on that though

 

[Ma-kun]

I really like isekai fantasy manga
But I hate to read those status, skill, class setting or whatever
it feels like playing a game tutorial over and over again
Can't the authors skip those parts?!

 

[GodGinrai]

I thought he needed to use silver general archery there?

 

[AbuHajaar]

What kind of shitty MMORPG only unlocks game-changing skills achievement-style?

 

[Rikeka]

Oh, so the mc is not a waste of a human being. Good.

 

[suzubelle]

the pain of building up skills

 

[Nematoda]

This guy truly man of culture

 

[Rickymex]

@zekkendo

Even had the action motions showing the bow spinning around. Seems deliberate design by the artist.

 

[gaigous]

That Librarian is so goddamn hot!
