Miyamoto is the heroine so she has to look cool and cute after all !

 

[Danwoo]

So it looks like they made a real language? So cool how deep they have gone with the details. Hope this manga goes far and long.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

i love how much thought the author put into this series almost as much as i love seeing Ryouta and Myaa-san finally conversing in the same language

It's funny that they wanted to come up with something really alien, but ended up with something rather close to Japanese. I doubt we would have been better off, of course. The culture you grew up in is a huge influence on your way of thinking, language included, obviously.

I like how the author seems to be taking every minor detail about how things work into account. It feels like they know exactly what they want to do with the story and world.

It also makes it more fun to analyze the chapters because every minor detail might point to something deeper.

 

[UncleKaos]

Impressive to go this far. not bad. even Tolkien would nod at this. (he did create a whole language with grammar included for his book.)
and it means the author did finish a volume so far?

 

[xanon]

It was very important to know what Miya-chan's shorts were made of.

I mean, I am not participating in this translation game, but come on, that's too many spoilers for those who want to unravel the langauge on their own

 

[NilnisNilneef]

It is funny how many isekai completely avoid talking about bathrooms. I feel like if you're suddenly dropped into a premodern setting, figuring out where and how to shit hygienically is like a top five problem.

And it's not like the omission makes the series any worse, but just once I would like to see drugs depicted in a manga in a grounded way. It's always either an over the top joke or some Reefer Madness nonsense. We've been using natural intoxicants for tens of thousands of years, it'd be reasonable to have them here in a story that's partly a light anthropological exploration.

 

[Matikkkii]

Ah, I did try to decipher this when I saw it actually isn't random, but its Japanese based, so no chance, unlucky

 

[Mangamoz]

Seeing her suddenly talk clearly was like a jumpscare.

 

[poppadoc]

This was a fun extra, but he didn't address the biggest question: why are there no shoes in this world when the artist can't draw feet?

In our RPG group (based on Pathfinder 2E rules), set inside the fancy new full dive VR MMO tech, our characters have actually solved the potty problem. Our inventor built a moving toilet. A walking cauldron with a toilet seat and self-cleaning mechanisms.

Revealing important information in the out of character "thanks for playing" bonus chapter? What is this, Umineko?

Nice to have confirmation on the level of thought the author put into the setting, though. To a certain extent, we could already tell that the language was decently in-depth, but with the comments about clothing, for example, I'm more confident now that Ryouta's belt being the same design as the villagers' belts is intentional.

Anyways, the thing about Mi Yamu Tuu being confused with Miyamoto kinda reminds of names like Sara, Anna, Naomi, &c., which independently developed as both English and Japanese names, leading to some translators having to clarify "this character is Japanese." Art imitates life.

 

[Claith]

He found Where The Sidewalk Ends. Should take some time to work on poetry.

 

[twinklecake]

I feel like he's drawing them deliberately like that to prevent us from beating off

It is funny how many isekai completely avoid talking about bathrooms.

Video game setting - video game logic. And not everyone wants to read about how people do their business.
Also, it does pop up often enough. Indoor toilets show up surprisingly often, as well as outhouses in slow-life settings especially, both often relying on slimes to dispose of human waste.

It is funny how many isekai completely avoid talking about bathrooms.

In Ascendance of a Bookworm, the bathroom problem is a pretty important part of the story. I think it's the only isekai I've read so far that really goes into it in any depth.
