That's a rare sight in a manga. A main character in a manga who's pregnant. And it's not a weird manga.

He couldn't make a creepier face?

This is basically just a recap of everything that's happened lately with Aura's reactions. Good if readers don't understand everything, and it kind of brings the slice of life into the politics by slowing the pace down.

This whole thing about introducing magic tools to everyone is like how electric appliances were first introduced in our world (and many new things, really). First they would start as expensive items exclusive to the rich. But eventually the methods to produce them would improve, making them cheaper and more efficient to make, which lowers the prices and allows more people to buy them. And now you can play Doom on you fridge. The difference is that all of this created in a monopoly. Or at least the basis of it.

Yeah, Aura's on to them.

Someone with Freya up north. Might get more page time.

Also, like the volume 20 cover design. Some maybe problems with the armour, but armour and a dress looks great.

He has solid argument, but it's not too late to demonstrate capua prowess using marble made of uranium to create nuclear weapons and blast these fools away, problem solved. 💀

That's exactly the thinking they have in Pyongyang.
Not really problem solving, so far.

 

[Zypnyx]

My first though after this chapter "TSMC and ASML"

 

[TitanAnteus]

The one to one comparison with Electricity doesn't work since it's not like 1 country enables the creation of all electrical appliances IRL.

It feels more like Zenjirou understands how demand among consumers will shift and what kind of position that'll put the royal family in.

And that was mentioned as well as a point of difference.

 

[Kaarme]

The political games in this manga keep impressing me, considering this is an isekai manga. I suppose one important aspect is the lack of action and the total lack of utterly overpowered "heroes", so politics do matter a whole lot. So far there haven't even been comically evil villains, who do bad things just for the sake of doing bad things.

Zenjirou certainly was pushed out of a loafer life, though. It would be annoying if he hadn't been. It would be nice to see a situation where he was forced to make a decision of great importance, as that has seemed to be his red line, for understandable reasons (so that nobody would question Aura being the one and only ruler of the country).

the comparison work because the case isn't exactly the same. Unlike realworld the ability to make electrical factory didn't tied down to president bloodline

There is one industry in which it is almost the case. High-end semiconductors where ASML is the manufacturer for the machines that make higher end chips. And even just on the chip end it's TSMC with Intel and Samsung not keeping up really imagine now what would happen if TSMC became unable to manufacture chips

Taiwan being the biggest chip producer of the world is a good example of this working IRL.
Nobody would actually care about the whole China/Taiwan situtation if Taiwan wouldn't have its chip production capabilities.

Beautiful margarette

I like how not only they figured out the outline of the twin kingdom's plan but they did so with what they had, and they took well thought out actions regarding what they know.
In any other isekai manga, the genius archetype character would pull everything out of his ass, including things they had no way of predicting, and everything perfect to a T.

Apparently, that's by design, since Taiwan knew they couldn't rely on the West to protect them, and they would be overwhelmed by China on their own. They supported the chip industry to make the world depended on Taiwan for chips, so the West would be forced to protect Taiwan.

Things are picking up nicely and

Spoiler: future plot

Princess Margaret is finally introduced

Man he just got back and the politicking doesn't stop. Thanks for the scanlation

Also, like the volume 20 cover design. Some maybe problems with the armour, but armour and a dress looks great.

Yeah, traditional breastplate designs aren't so much 'masculine' as they are 'human.' Men and women both have the same vital organs in their torsos, and both benefit from armor that deflects incoming attacks away, rather than towards. That said, armor that looks good is not without merit.

Yeah. Isekai manga mostly got lazy writing to the max. Blueballing story is better and need a skill to do that. It's not about whether the story have explanation for it to be logical (make it reasonable is enough) or how heavy the topic is, Reader need the enthusiasm from the storytelling.

The main problem I was referring to is that it looks like it's made out of a single piece from neck to stomach. That's too long, since it would restrict the movement too much. It should end sufficiently high up that you can bend down.

Armor that looks good usually isn't made with functionality in mind, or it is that way as an afterthought. The primary purpose of armor should be to protect the wearer, not wow the peanut gallery with its decorations. There are armors that were worn for celebrations, parading, etc.
