Made another panel into an ultrawide wallpaper. This manga's art style is just too good.

I made that panel on page 11 into an ultrawide wallpaper.

I'm two chapters in and I'm convinced at some point this will be the next Chainsaw Man or One Punch Man.

Regarding the translator's note: 玉の輿 (tama no koshi) is a japanese expression that means to gain wealth and/or status by marrying into a powerful family.

Several wallpaper-quality two page spreads in this update, hell yeah

Hell yeah! The next chapter of Frieren being a complete badass has BEGUN

I'm not sure when it happened but the art style has slowly changed to resemble a where's waldo book.

Funny, for dinner tonight i made a kimchi stew with soft tofu and pork (soondubu-jjigae), and then this is the first chapter i read tonight.

I was wondering how long until sukiyaki made its appearance. As soon as he found shoyu I figured it was gonna happen, though without sugar I don't know if it's gonna be quite right...

Y'know, i really didn't expect this to be so harem-heavy. not complaining, but i figured it would be a fantasy adventure in the vein of record of lodoss war, faraway paladin, or frieren.

The love and appreciation Frieren has for her old master, shown through trying to learn all the spells that came out of Flamme's study, is truly heartbreaking. I think this may be tied for my favorite manga of all time

61 chapters into a slice of life love triangle about cougars we get an abrupt genre change to slasher horror!

Well for one, it's Japan, the country has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Obviously a _different_ Japan than the real one given all of this is going on, but still, I would imagine the expectation is that she's probably okay. But secondly, his job is to monitor their suspect, so I think in this moment he's doing what his brain tells him instead of what his gut tells him, and we'll see if that ends up to be the wrong decision or not in a future chapter.

God, imagine being the illustrator for this, having to draw such epic charging scenes like that and turn them around in a week's time. Unbelievable dedication to quality on this manga.

commenting on the translator's problem with "Guilty Maker", the kanji are 死装束を濡れ衣に. 死装束 means "burial clothes", and 濡れ衣に in modern parlance means "false accusation", but more literally would mean "to wear wet clothing" (there are several proposed reasons why this new meaning came about, but it's a bit off topic). So I think the proper translation would be something like "Guilty Maker - Drenched Burial Clothes".

This has a lot to do with Japanese funerary practice and mythology, so it's understandable it wouldn't translate easily when using a machine translation process. In Japanese mythology when you die you have to cross the Sanzu river to be reincarnated. However, the Japanese cremate their dead so anything you would've had with you is lost in the fire, therefore you can't afford to pay the cost of the ferry to get to the other side, forcing you to swim your way there. When you reach the other shore a spirit known as Datsue-ba will take your wet clothes and hang it on the tree branches to dry. It's believed that the more sinful your life, the more wet your clothes and the more the tree will sag from the weight of your crimes. I think, therefore, the idea from this power is that the water being wrung out of the person's body leaves them looking like a dead husk dressed in soaked clothing, i.e. it makes them appear as if they just swam across the Sanzu river and are soaked by the weight of their crimes in life.

A quick translation note: The guy with the tongue's power is "Toad Metamorphosis", the reason the translation is screwy ("Tomaru who knows the ocean") is because the kanji alongside it is a take on a Japanese proverb, "井の中の蛙大海を知らず", or "A frog in a well cannot understand the sea", meaning a person who spends too much time absorbed in their own little world will never experience all that life has to offer. The text in the manga would translate as "The frog-man who understands the sea", so it could be argued that this character might have been self-absorbed in his life before, but now he has come out of his well and learned about the world... Probably a reference to all his wealth, power, and privilege in the isekai.

they found a bunch of stuff from the shipwreck that had washed up on shore. i'm a little surprised they made it without breaking, though.

I suspect the next time we find him he'll be at the grave of his friend the gorilla warrior.

A sad thing to assume but it seems like something that would be the writer's style.

I've been checking daily for weeks for a new chapter and it's this? 🤬 I'm about to go buy the manga and translate it myself

I think whatever it is has to be large enough for the portal to show up on it, so I imagine people are wary of accepting tapestries and whatnot as gifts, since they seem to be the most common mobile transportation surface in this world. That being said, Sherry could in theory roll up a tapestry and stick it in one of her item boxes from her explorer job. They seem to allow explorers onto the island but not adventurers since explorers don't have field walk to let tradespeople out with.

Alternatively, he could change his primary job to something that wouldn't raise suspicion and take the portal from the neighboring town again. IDK there are a lot of things he could be doing with his abilities but instead of it being plot holes I think he's just not great at thinking on his feet (as evidenced by Roxanne having to be the one who suggested they use warp to get into the labyrinth to skip out on entrance fees)
