ITS HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
The revolver was described much differently in the webnovel compared to this comic. In the novel I was under the impression it had more of .357 look with the way it was described as being shiny and all chrome. Not a big deal though, this is still really enjoyable to read.
@dobatag Anna is 18. This is Canon in both the novel and the manga, remember when nightingale first came and announced Anna was "coming of age" since she was about to turn 18? Yeah. The artist draws all the girls cute and younger than they are but that doesn't change their ages. Neither in the novels nor this manga does he do anything resembling pedo behavior and even withholds himself (as mentioned in the novels) from arranging night visits from willing and consenting maids as is customarily available for nobility. Which, thh, I'm surprised about since porn doesn't exist and he never knows when nightingale might be watching so he can't really masterbate, so the fact he doesn't lay with a maid when that's a free option is alot of self control.
@Degernase Ah yes the Pedo card for 18 year olds, used by Americans who assume they're the moral knights of the world while they're told to wear Canadian flags on their shirts if they ever leave their own country lmfao. I assume you're from the US and thus ignorant of the age of adulthood in other countries but here in Canada, where we're so progressive we've got free healthcare, legalized marijuana, etc, it's 16. And Europe? 16. https://www.ageofconsent.net/world There, expand your mind.
Also, so you can get your terms right, Ephebophilia is the primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19. As in, any older doesn't work for 'em. Roland wasn't written as an Ephebophile and Pedophile is laughable. Here's a spoiler that'll ruin your entire pedophile argument against Roland:
he sticks with her and many years later THEY GET MARRIED. But yeah, a guy who only likes underage girls is gonna do that.
Pedophilia: experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children (age 8)... criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13. Anna's not even close to 13 in visual style in this let alone what's canon for their age. So yeah, it's hilarious you think Roland is a pedophile for liking an 18 year old girl.
This is not even factoring in the "earlier age of marriage and adulthood for medieval societies" thing. She's literally two years past age of consent for most of the West except for Americans. Maybe you should get out more lmfao. Or perhaps you're the type to love to witch hunt so you can get your moral superiority high. Sorry bud, nothing to burn at the stake here, please continue on.
Just a general FYI Anna is 18. This is Canon in both the novel and the manga. Example, remember nightingale first came and announced Anna was "coming of age" since she was about to turn 18. The artist draws all the girls cute and younger than they are though. 😀
The design of that revolver hurts me. First off why the hell does a revolver have a ramrod like a it's a breach loader? Even the igniting mechanism makes no since. It's in line with the chamber sure, but not the chamber behind barrel. Secondly it's shaped like a flintlock but has no flint on the hammer.(Though it may just be hard to see with the art style.) Secondly it has an indention for black powder but it's on the side of the gun out in the open. Shit if I didn't know any better I'd say he's trying to kill nightengale.
Edit: And it has shells? Why the hell does it have a flint on the hammer? It's also using metal shells and not paper, god in heaven give me the strength.
