Retired Heroes - Ch. 39 - An Ordinary Family

[shoker]

There is so so SO damn much to digest here, the story just accelerated so much. I would've liked another story before we leapt into a timeskip but that's just my opinion.
Clearly this is leading up to some pretty tragic stuff.
Tifa's happiness is implied to only be temporary, her new Brother being closer to a Demon than a Human (foreshadowing which side he'll eventually choose in the upcoming war).
Now I can't say for sure that the Dad or Mom will get killed, buuuuuuut the Death Flags seem at an all time high. I don't believe that Saly will die, perhaps imprisoned instead. So I'd lean on the side of the Dad being in the greatest danger for legitimately dying this time (or wounded to the point that he is unable to help).
Which will ultimately separate the Family one way or another.

Shok seems to imply that Tanya is dead, perhaps the girl with him is their child. Obviously this could be a misdirect but I can't see any other reason why Shok would be doing anything that he's done.
This will inevitably lead to the Angels' suspecting Tifa/Family and causing a fight between them. Which will lead to what I mentioned above.
So yeah, I'm looking forward to Season 2 - If this is true it's about to get intense.


I will say though that I did... enjoy the series as being lighthearted adventures about these old former heroes. I guess it's moving on to bigger and bolder things, but I'll certainly miss the initial premise.

I hope the series gets continued... Feels very bad for Shok because he obviously loved his wife so much and likely she was killed by the wing troops...

 

[Mort1997]

Your telling me that Auntie Tanya bit the bullet here? I hope not, I need the fluffy family fun back, not this tragic turn of events

 

[antisocialcow]

That hit me in the feels when shok thought about tanya...

 

[LeRyzz]

@shoker You have said it. I have exactly the same thoughts and feelings

 

[Fari]

It's funny to me they treat her way of thinking of non-human when to me she sounds like a reasonable person, and some of those other kid's ideals sound stupid. Being free to do as she like, be it fighting or otherwise, not caring about what some boys will think about it, etc. That shit is stupid.

All in all it seems like just a difference of values that have nothing to do with being human or otherwise.

 

[DrDuckling]

First few pages, WTF is going on.. is that Tifa?
around mid chapter, I don't like this noble girl..they were good friends as a kid, why be aggresiv....oh they are still friends.
Almost end chapter, hmm... not sure if the series got axed or something but a flag definitely raised. Hopefully it continues.
end chapter...this chapter alone feels like 3-4 chapters compressed into one. So much to digest. Looking forward to see how Shay grow up and adapt into his surrounding. Will he be human or demon?

Also, it's cliche but I would like to see Tifa and the acting king start dating. A true princess dating a real-king-but-not-really-king. Doki doki~

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[FujenRyner]

Nope. I am gonna deny myself from believing Tanya is dead. No siree T.T

 

[Deathhappens]

Oh good, we're done with brat Tifa at least. Though this was kind of a weird timeskip.

 

[gonn92]

holy timeskip out of nowhere batman

 

[Katurog]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAY IT AIN'T SO! TANYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (or whatever your name was...)

 

[MiiaBestWaifu]

Sooo 10000chapter of useless running and now à huge time skip ?

 

[Treswimming]

Ooh, shit just got intense. Also, Tanya nooooo~~

 

[chendu]

A wild ellipse appeared ... this is still wholesome, So sad for uncle though

 

[frzned]

And this is the sad end of a great series. The publisher of this manga went bankrupt. Author put out this sequel bait to sell to other publisher in hope of someone picking it up. But noone did.

 

[acher13]

Wow.. that's a really big time skip.
I'm gonna miss the loli Tifa and Lina.. and Lina getting married.. not to Tifa.

also wtf Shok.. Tanya nooo.......

 

[ilvanezzo]

Lina has blossomed into a beautiful tsundere ojousama. I approve. 👍

Really sad to see this series go, so much potential.

 

[cryum]

I think Tanya died saving the kid.

 

[dkuro]

So Shok ghosted them all when Shay was a Baby...
The next Season will be sad...

 

[need4speedrazor6]

Gonna miss this series a lot... damn
