@zz2000 Is Sven human or elf? I hardly remember about this guy tho lol, I know that

Spoiler

he's the antagonist for vol2 LN, jealous for a kid, discovered an ancient labyrinth 😂

The isekai portions of this series are kinda boring. I find myself just skimming through it.

@esp if he knows how a lot of our world history worked it makes sense he has some understanding of that world and how their culture evolved as the same laws of physiscs apply. Even if they have magic they are still much farther back in everything but magic, dragons and other shit that don't exist on earth

 

[ShadowWalker]

So the (CENSORED) magus with his twin dancing swords has appeared...

Qanats ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qanat ) are really funky things. The wikipedia article also features this striking satellite pic of southern Iran: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qanat#/media/File:Alluvial_fan_in_Iran.jpg . A fan of green in an arid landscape. What I didn't know, before reading up about them recently, is that you can get to near freezing temperatures with those things and do things like keeping ice around over the summer. In a desert.

I quite like these disgressions, "Kouya ni Kemono Doukokusu" ( https://mangadex.org/title/1027/kouya-ni-kemono-doukokusu ) has similar digressions about cool bits of geographical and cultural trivia. A recent chapter had a digression about cenotes. Ties in well with the qanat topic since cenotes ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cenote ) were one of the main perennial large fresh water sources for the Inca in the Yucatan peninsula. The manga also calls out a really crazy thing I wasn't aware of, namely that the distribution of cenotes in the northern bit of the peninsula is very much shaped by the Chicxulub crater from the impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Keeping cool is good for the elf.

Man, I really love this manga.
Reading a chapter of this manga soothes my soul.

 

[pupp3t]

stated in the LNs, to counter Sven, the Anti-Mage, one must not be a mage.

 

[Tanatama]

the art changed a little lol

 

[Kevadu]

Who the heck is Sven? Are we supposed to know him already?

 

[SveNo]

I'm Sven. No, really, it is my given name!

That said, when I started reading this manga I expected a story about an elf isekai'd to our world. That could have been an interesting story. These last few chapters seem to go the usual fantasy route.

 

[Tamerlane]

That guy gives off the same impression as both Shark Rad and the Squrtile from Pokemon

It's the glasses + buff guy energy

Tell me I'm fucking wrong, I dare you.
