Onna dakara, to Party wo Tsuihou Sareta no de Densetsu no Majo to Saikyou Tag wo Kumimashita - Vol. 6 Ch. 31.4

[Fushiginiku]

Yes, thank you so much!

So we really going to end it ignoring her immortal woman blessed by gods?

A whole society with unlimited power just so happens to exist offscreen, and we just gonna end it like that?

They could have told this very same story without such a contrived plot device then, just make Laplace a generic overpowered isekai protagonist who was born with a cheat skill, everything would play pretty much the same, minus the giant pothole of a bunch of immortal priests with godlike magic living offscreen

 

[Mandobard]

I Aw man. Need an anime adaption pronto, so sad it’s over

 

[Kydele]

Thanks for the translation! Read the LNs a couple of years ago and I'm suprised how well they adapted it into a manga. It really was a joy to read it all again.

This has happened in fiction for thousands of years, from politics to myths. Supernatural heritage isn't a plothole. It's less egregious than isekai cheats, though less relatable. It's common to have dragons, elves, or pantheons outside the scope of the story with just a powerful distant relative present.

On the feminist fantasy side of things, after the horrible situation of Laplace's birth it's not worth the effort here to follow up on her mother's heritage for a long time. Usually an author shouldn't try. A realist take on a village reacting to unfortunate blood ties and ethnicity isn't as easy reading as Maxwell's bombastic evil biodad villainy. It could be positive community-building, or be a gauntlet, but it's a raw plot thread Laplace doesn't need to deal with.

I've been putting off reading to finish with a short binge, and it did not disappoint. While not a masterpiece, this series did accomplish its goals without losing focus, and the pacing of the storytelling remained tight all the way up through the skybeam at the end. The epilogue was a little hamfisted, but there's never a particularly elegant way at wrapping up story threads and this actually accomplished it better than most.

Good read, thanks for all the effort for this series TL!

It is more egregious actually because it introduces an unnecessary concept that goes nowhere, it is apiece of world-building at a foundational level that remains entirely detached from everything happening in the story, other than to just give plot convenience to Laplace's powers, without offering any explanation for why no one else is bothered with dealing with the source of said powers, which exist just out there on the kingdom next door

From the feminist fantasy side of things, ignoring Laplace's heritage and the culture of her mother an important figure from what seemed to be a matriarchal society is also egregious, because it completely ignores the opportunity of exploring a what if scenario at a sociopolitical level, in favor to just indulge in the power fantasy of a woman with cheat skills dealing with an evil incompetent abusive father, which again is something that can be done with just your average reincarnator with cheat skills setting

In here however there's a whole piece of world building that not only goes nowhere, is almost as if the author themselves forgot they ever wrote it into the story in the first place

 

[TheGodEmperor]

Sad to see it end and wish there was more. Oh well. Good times,

lol at the Salad Bowl of Fruit anime image end there

 

[SaintNero]

I wanted more fluff

 

[beThereShortly]

This was a neat little manga. I lost me a bit toward the end, but I'm glad I got to see it through to an ending.
Thank you very much for the translation! I'll be looking forward to the extras!

I think I'm understanding what you're interested in, and I hope you find more, but it's unfair to take issue with rather ancient half-blood tropes. From half-elves to royals to warlords, from small god superstitions to large monster myths. Even Laplace's unfortunate dragon priestess bloodline was portrayed as typical if not stereotypical for East Asian fiction, especially xanxia. Laplace's tragic biomom's background isn't unique, it's a vague marker of Eastern Fantasy Here in a story about literally one western fantasy style city. And it's not rare to set up that bloodline and never detail it, as one of the oldest excuses for powers. Let alone "witch" powers.

Even more importantly, Laplace never met her mother, and has no strange trait or wall before reaching a transformation or divine realm qi that she needs blood elders to overcome. She doesn't care about community, just relaxing, revenge, and her lover. Laplace isn't even the main POV character. She has zero investment in her blood or conception. There's no emotional thread here. None.

Onna Dakara does exactly what it set up. It handles one power structure well. I'd be interested to see that feminist lens handle wider sociopolitics, but that's very different scenes, a new hemisphere of fantasy, and multiple cans of worms. It's much more clean to start off a story with characters with more ties and actual investment across cultural lines.

I'm gonna miss these crazy lesbians.

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

How it is terrible? She was exiled from her party due to her sex. It's basic wordplay.

If 'Sexiled' was removed from the english title, then it could be acceptable. "Sexiled' was an absolutely freakin' dumb 'wordplay' ever to be translated by a translator that has taken liberty for doing this for the english title, unless it was meant for smut medias/books, which this manga was clearly not.

Laplace got her powers from the experiments Maxwell performed on her. He wanted the blood for his research, but she wasn't born immortal because of that blood. Her mother society is not filled with immortal woman with godlike magic. That's Laplace and Laplace alone.

No shevdidn't, she got her powers by blood inheritance from her mother who was a high priestess blessed by gods which allowed her to be born with unlimited magic

Then Maxwell wasted his life trying and failing to steal and copy her powers, all he ever did was to try and usurp what others had

It's really good journey reading this, thank you

 

[Trostishere]
