Reading the title I thought we'd have the usual unforgivable piece of garbage hero party, but they are just "Eh, it's his own fault." well, which it was.

Anyway I really dislike the MC's lich-design. It looks as if the artist has never seen a human skull in their life. Usually that'd be a very minor nitpick (the only time ever a character design had drove me away from any media was the anime design of "Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?"s MC), but I don't know if I'd be able to ignore it going forward.

Page 1 in the "cover art" the skull design reminds me of this :

Hmm... interesting.

Who's to say he's not the reincarnation of the first Lich? Depending on when the first was destroyed, he could have been reborn as a human (as part of a spell or some such), and that's what sent him down the path of necromancy...

guess we have a potential clash in the future with the true lich. and we have at least 2 female saint characters, unless she was the same as the one on the early pages.

thanks for the translation

"Humans really are crap, aren't they?"
"Yes, I want to destroy them soon."

MOOD.

You aren't wrong. He looks like a skull that's been airbrushed on a welding helmet by a guy who's 9 deep into a case of miller high lives. at 2 O'clock. On a Tuesday.

but... have you seen the anatomy of human faces in every manga? Abominations. Godless cat-people. Jesus weeps. At least sometimes the body anatomy is good.

Having read chapter 2 it can be justified by wanting to distinguish him from other skeletons. And the story focus being comedy does a lot to alleviate it, since it'd be far worse were this 100% serious edgelord material.

what was bad in “Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?”?

I just vastly preferred the toned down manga design over the super-moe anime version. I'm aware that this was adapted from the light novel, but I still couldn't take it.
ah, just wondering cause it’s one of my favorite LN’s
