Sister and Giant: A Young Lady Is Reborn in Another World - Vol. 5 Ch. 19

[taerkitty]

Just when I was going to dismiss this title as another "battle manga" where interminable battles go on for chapters and chapters (and chapters and chapters), we get some of that 10-star characterization and growth that floored me with depth, sincerity, and originality from the chapters before they got to the city.

Thanks for all the hard work!

It stumbled a bit earlier, but it seems to have recovered it's stride.

they didn't take the eagles because the author made an oopsie.

But my point was not about that, but rather how she talked as if it was a matter-of-course that the heirs had to be the kings children. When it really isn't.

Otherworlders with cheats take over and form a royal famliy. Naturally they will ensure their blood descendants are the heirs because that's how dynasties work. Maybe the first few generations were good rulers and it's only a few in that things went south, or only otherworlders can use this tech.

I think it might be somewhat challenging to continually incorporate new reincarnators into your government while still keeping to whatever policies you want to enact. Not to mention that it's way easier to form a sense of community with people that actually grew up in this environment, instead of people that just arrived shortly before and have little clue what's going on. And lastly it's probably really tempting to give your children power instead of some randos

thank you for the chapter, bravo, best girls just being pals, as they remind people that what they do their ideals were not pointless or worthless and reminding them that despite what their new world tells them, they are not worthless or doomed.

So many words, so little said. I'm really torn on this series. On the one hand, the setting and larger story beats are really interesting, but the writing quality is crazily uneven.

 

[Shirobane]

Is there going to be a next chapter? This chapter isn't the last one, right? Then why does it feel like this chapter is the last one?

It featured on the cover of the next magazine issue. See also “to be continued”.

I don't share the anxieties of that other poster, but... You might want to read what you wrote back to yourself because it actually sounds pretty similar to the conservative weebs that whine about same-sex shipping. Like, you are just scolding someone for enjoying the lesbian themes of this series and hoping that some of the girls will form couples with each other.

"The main point of this series is to think of it in terms of a yuri school campus story", said the mangaka in the vol. 3 afterword. Would you call them an obsessed fetishist too?

I'm not scolding them for enjoying the lesbian themes or yuri shipping, I'm scolding them for obsessing over tags instead of actual content of the manga we're all reading right now. Just like people don't get to demand that authors don't put some gay characters or couples in stories that aren't labeled yuri or yaoi, or shouldn't bitch about people who are gay-shipping some characters, people who read stories with gay or queer themes don't get some protection from author writing in hetero stuff or even not-gay ending. It's just a question of how well it is executed.

And since this manga obviously very gay themed, with main character's backstory being mostly about betrayal of her gay lover, with all the gay symbolism there is, why start discussing some completely different manga with gay characters that happens to just share the same tags on pirate website? It feels like treating the story as suspect just because (very few) named male characters actually exist in this story, unlike some other yuri stories. I dislike conservative weebs bitching about gay shipping, but I also dislike (rarer, I admit) folks going "why there are males in my yuri manga?". Or also people going "why is there romance in my shonen action manga?". Generally I feel people who want their manga to conform to their favorite little boxes, like collection of few tags, and are mostly concerned about that conformance, are disrespectful to the authors. Everyone can simply read the manga itself, it's clearly not about MC's romance with some random guy, so why insist it's becoming more likely? But it can also end up as tragic doomed yuri romance, and it's author's right to write them never ending up together.

I still think the best possible scenario is cutting off this earth2 with earth1 and no longer there being reincarnated, "peace" isn't really a option

 

[Ironclad]

It's a bit confusing if there are 2 separate territories with similar names like "Church Territory" and "Theocracy".
