OK, way to go, mangaka.
I was soooo expecting a scumbag bishop.
I mean, the guy is rude, fat, from the clergy... that's all the ingredients for the usual trope.
nice to see a manga where the church is nice and the the fat bishop isn't corrupt and perverted for a change (I`m not even religious by the way, that theme was just getting boring).
also, Raystov... THE PENETRATOR......... I just felt the need to say that too
Finally the Bishop was revealed. There is a subtle difference in his actions that tips off how he is a good person. He intimidated and yelled but only in defense of others. He insulted the MC but only to call out his actions as a lesson and never made fun of him. He never used his position for personal reasons.
@ZeroWWE It is a story about a paladin. Theoretically, corrupt clergy would be more interesting villains for a paladin, for obvious reasons. However, Will doesn't have deep ties to the clergy, and he is so resolute in his faith that it wouldn't be much different from fighting bandits.
