Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Hunting

[Diametric]

Taming a wolf shouldn't be that easy, right? Also, the handle at the bow end of the crossbow is there to put your foot in while you cock it, but that looks way too narrow to put a person's foot into.

@Diametric About the crossbow, either it's flawed by the blacksmith (it is the first crossbow he ever sees), it was lighter type crossbow (probably Chinese design too), or it's simply the artist's fault (the size for that thing you put your foot in seems fixed in Chapter 10)

@Diametric: Luck does matter. Genetically wolves and dogs mostly same, so mechanisms that allow domestication of wild dogs are mostly same for wolves, you just need to luck out on one with good disposition. Though I suspect crossbreeding on said wolf's family tree in recent generations.

Also there is three big steps - not to attack owner, not to attack other humans, not to attack livestock and I'm really not sure about part 3.

This chapter made me realize that this is a novel adaptation. The wolf taming was skimmed over too much.

Does the novel go into more detail?

edit: nope. this manga is dramatically different from the novel. no wolf or crossbow at all in the novel. at this point in the story at least. maybe they show up later, or maybe they are only in the light novel version

the agriculture girl can tame and train an adult feral wolf
yeah right whatever

 

[nightwatch25]

That's right, you filthy primitives. Kneel in front of your goddess!

 

[Evescent]

i mean, who would want to get on the bad side of some with a wolf as pet

"This manga is pretty realistic"
*The girl tamed an adult wolf and can use a crossbow*
maybe a little fantasy but ok

 

[damiester]

lol I'm pretty sure China and Korea used crossbows for quite some time. In fact, China fielded mostly crossbowmen in their earlier dynasties 2000 years ago.

@kobool it actually depends. If you're less accurate or untrained going for the heart is an easier target, and will still cause a lot of damage in the case of a miss making the followup easy. Going for the head is better if you can take the shot though, since theres nothing there you can typically eat

Holy fucking shit, it's only been 3 chapters and she's already become a badass.
