"All of the sudden" is not an actual phrase. It's extremely disappointing that this has to be pointed out.

@Throbelisk If the statement was part of a phrase then you are right, BUT in this case, you are flat out wrong. While the sentence could have been worded better, he is literally saying you cant just show up suddenly. Please Learn English before you make WILD statements like this.

It's usually "all of a sudden", but "the" is used occasionally. Mostly by people who misheard the regular version as kids and just kept saying it. Similar to how "toe the line" became "tow the line" for some people.

Well yes, but the thing I was trying to illustrate is that spoken English, and written English, are two separate things. In a sentence you can have [ Tim approached the door, when all of a sudden, he heard something crash to the floor ], and that is grammatically correct, where "all of the sudden" would not. BUT if you are TALKING (which Lucas is doing here) then in the context of what he is saying, "all of a sudden" is NOT grammatically correct. Now, like I said, it COULD have been said better, but the only way it could have been worse is if it was "all of a sudden," because then it would NOT be contextually accurate.

Considering the comedic tone we probably won't know anything about JB's past until 20 chapters from now.

I got strong Cromartie High School vibes from this last chapter.

I like this manga a lot. I can't even tell if the shield guy NOT just being a pervert is a twist or not.

I was wondering if the shield could take attacks from his back...but it looks like he can handle it

Thanks. Yes, it's a very different kind of "wrong" from, say, Dowman Sayman, but I quite enjoy it.

I'm finding it hard telling some characters apart, but other than that, this is pretty entertaining.

I feel like every love interest so far smells a bit like a fraud - or at the very least like a bother for the poor guy. (And again, shame it isn't yuri. The girls all look so nice. )

With the prospect of a marriage, it does bug me that it is handled this way. I know it was for dramatic effect, but it still bugs me.

It's a wacky comedy, did you expect actual romance?

Kidnapping the brother so she could have given him her contract to propose marriage to the sword, or better yet: his sister.

I dunno why but there's something about the demon king groaning about meetings that I find really funny

I'm always imagining that the sword's voice is Chris Rock. It's is so super hilarious. Being so casual and the urban slang. Best fantasy parody, ever.
