Don't know whether @mentions do activate on an edited post, so in case it doesn't, a new post.

I've edited my earlier post on pg 1 of this comment thread to include the TN that should've been included in the chapter in the meantime, which I encourage ought to be read.

Honestly, seems kinda of difficult to understand, i guess its hard to translate properly but maybe with more chapters and context we can get a clearer picture.

Theres no scifi English term for one-way time travelling but im guessing in the future maybe theyll start delving into paradoxes so travelling back and forth could either be impossible or outlawed? lol who knows...
Maybe the one-way time travelling could also explain Akira's shitty outlook on life, trapped in an uncivilised era.

Aw man, i should have expected this kind of development when the author showed the Walkman. I was expecting some kind of mythical weapon, not some jackass weapon from the future.

I am gonna drop this for now. It's such a shame, it's a good manga. Maybe i would pick this up again when the manga done.


Godspeed to anyone who still continue.

Once you start to involve time travel shenanigans, whats there to stop someone from the future to send/change more to meddle in the worldline we have been shown so far.
I doubt this was a good idea on the author.

You can just choose time travel rules that make it impossible, if that would get in the way of the story. This manga has been so cleverly written so far that I'm not worried.

Yeah, I'm convinced now. Everyone's gonna survive this, even Coura. That's my bet. This is a story about defying the odds.

In fact, what I want the most is to see the creative ways in which each of Lucas' crew will blossom. I think even Udo will give up on retiring now he's seen the danger Erin represents to the Papal States. And with all his fingers back thanks to Coura.

My other guess is that the Pope doesn't mind in the least if Lucas is slowly shifting the crew's foremost allegiances to himself. In fact, I think this is what he personally wants, or at least he considers his own position unassailable from the simple fact that as long as he controls the Tower, he can control events and Lucas can be at most his top lieutenant.

can you please take back what u stated? PLEASE DONT GIVE US HOPE AND RAISE FLAGS

can you please take back what u stated? PLEASE DONT GIVE US HOPE AND RAISE FLAGS

Sorry, but this is a story about raising flags. Almost everyone in Lucas' crew has a death flag now. You've just seen Udo defeat his: man who says he's going on a last mission before retiring is a classical red flag and there he is, cuddling with his wife and daughter after coming back.

And mind you, I haven't read the machine translation chapters, so I have no idea what happens next. I know only what is known up to this chapter.

First the fucking child lady and now the mega masochist sociopath

Main I wish it was actually aliens this time but once again its Forerunner humans.

Hey I know time traveling is fun and all but can we talk about the time traveling issues in this chapter?
1 After the fight he is missing one eye and one ear
2 End of page 18 he has both eyes
3 From there to half of page 23 he has both eyes but then just one in the other half.
4 He's having dinner with one missing eye
and then they're both healed!

Now for the “Personal Development-Type” part:

• 自己 – self, oneself
• 開発 – development, exploitation
• 型 – type, model, make

The collective term 自己開発 in Japanese usage refers to “Personal Development”; yes, the ‘life coach/therapy for people on how to make the most of their life’ kind. It’s not a term for expressing whether a

Would "cultivation" be a good synonym?
