Kinda surprising for a manga of this quality to actually have some emotional impact.

Hurry up and get the ring for Lilith. She's waiting for the dude already. Just like she waited for him to wake up, for 200 years. Don't make her wait in the Christmas evening as well.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into scanlating for us! (^_^)

IKR? This manga gained quiet some quality points the last few chapters.

He barely feels like interacting with the people he's more or less forced to see every day. So yeah, probably never.

Meanwhile I know there are posters above who are happy with the emotional impact of this chapter, but it doesn't do it for me. He's all wistful about his former master at teh end, but that is blunted by the fact that he acknowledges the guy was a scumbag who used him and other kids for his own selfish purposes and who offed himself rather than face the consequences (though he probably actually didn't and is in hiding somewhere because this series has no serious threats that aren't tied to Abel's old life for increasingly tenuous reasons). I get that my dislike is probably mostly an issue of cultural disconnect (because that sort of forgiveness and acceptance is a big part of Japanese culture that doesn't exist in the same way in the west) but it still rubs me the wrong way.

I think I'm officially at the point where I'm on the countdown to dropping it. If there's nothing interesting in the next chapter I'm sticking this on hold to maybe come back to in a few months to see if it's evolved any. If there is something of value, even if it's as small as him having a meaningful emotional moment with Lilith where he seems like a real person and not boring chuuni self-insert without all the edgelord traits, it might buy this thing until chapter 100. But it's really gotta step it up to avoid landing in the bin.

fwiw, this guy and all the events talked about in this chap are from the start of the prequel manga (also on MD, though it hasn't been updated in a while), so this is more of a callback situation than it is the typical "nobody creates an important background character just to never have them show up again, so they must show up again" thing. Maybe he'll show up later, but idk.

Spoiler: Prequel manga event spoilers

The prequel shows Abel showing up to the guy's grave after the news of his suicide, and considering these are events from his first life's childhood (which was a while ago), I don't think this guy's gonna show back up. Maybe he faked his death and found a way to live longer (I forget how Cain's still supposed to be alive, so I imagine just using magic as an excuse would be enough for a long life), but I could see this just being a callback to a character they expect readers to be familiar with already.

Good and warm

The calm before the storm

 

[Dwarfy2k]

So inbefore this or next arc mentor comes back either still alive or reincarnated.

Unless the orphanage gets raided for drama.

Big same. I made a comment in a diff manga about how tired I am of the power of friendship trope that the Japanese really, really seem to like. You'll have a character that does just about every horrible, selfish, evil thing in the book and at the end is still instantly forgiven because they were just lonely or some asspull of a bullshit reason. There's just no sense of accountability or consequences of their actions as a result. Am I really expected to just be like "oh well I guess we're all cool now!" and act like nothing happened? It's almost offensive because it feels like the author is insulting my intelligence as a reader, though I know that's not the intent. And yeah, this manga is on life support for me as well.

 

[Antinomy]

I feel like with a few other chapters it's just a call back to the prequel (for the mentor part). Although, I thought most of the scenes shown are straight up just grabbed from the prequel. I remember him remembering the red hair ancestor and the scenes looked the exact same.

Spoiler

Anyone know if the prequel is still getting translated? Last chapter I remember was either the kids getting Black Bulleted or him beating the guy who did it. Been awhile.

 

[captain_crunch]

So does this fantasy world also have a religion about Jesus that stole a pagan holiday and commercialized it with presents and santa? Ho ho ho!

 

[popo53414]

That kid must be reincarnation of his mentor

 

[HDMI1]

Oh shit, that girl has a Death Chicken.
