Well they are guardians of the WIND Spirits.

This has potential to be really frickin good.

Other nun was saying "Have fun taming the princess!" and I was thinking "Have fun storming the castle!"

One of the best yuri dads since Hina Logi.

Im in love with Tap tapity tap and scoot scootalot

Stupid evil snake who can't read the mood, I don't know what the fudge you're about to do to our main characters but know that I already hate you.

Oh wow, had no idea Kamejiro’s webcomic was getting serialized, much less scanlated. Really looking forward to where this goes.

Also, fun fact but I'm pretty sure Sister Sara's design was at least partially based on FGO's Saint Martha - Kamejiro was really into Martha when they started drawing the original webcomic.

I took a look at the web comic and this gets pretty dark. I hope the serialization doesn't follow the web comic that closely. I'd prefer a little less suffering.

I have no idea what the web comic is but I support women's suffrage

Ah yes,just what I needed.

Good ol' flashbacks of throwing Wild West hogtied Karens into the river,a great feature for RDR2.

Speaking of rivers,there appears to be someone with watery powers afoot.

Sharurururu.

“Comedy” main character is depressed she can’t reconnect with her family through her heirloom sword and she’s the only one left.

I only now noticed people saying that the original comic gets dark at some point, and I wanted to ask if someone could please maybe spoil that part for me a little? Just how "dark" does it get? Am I going to regret it? I stumbled upon the author's Twitter some time ago, coincidentally saw some beautiful art of those two and seeing it being serialized now makes me so happy. These three chapters were a blessing, but now I'm really worried if I should get invested in it, because I am NOT ready for another tragic ending.

These are major spoilers from the original webcomic. I won't give full context but if you're worried about the tone of the story, I think it's worth warning people how dark it might get.

If you don't want to spoil the manga for yourself I'd advise you not to read it.

Lots of civilians die in fairly bloody monster attacks. One of the protagonists loses her legs in an attack and can only walk with the help of enchanted armor. Suicide is heavily contemplated and even attempted.

The author plans to make the serialized manga a revised version of the original and I don't doubt many of the same events will happen. But the webcomic ended on an uplifting note. In the first draft of the serialized manga, it was actually going to continue from that ending and cover the events of the webcomic in flashback. And they have drawn art of the two going on lighthearted adventures after the events of the original story.

I don't think this will be a tragedy even if it has tragic elements. It's been described by the author as fantasy yuri about two noble ladies forced into cruel circumstances and overcoming them through blood and dirt, never allowing the other to die.

Thank you sooooo so very much, that means a lot to me! That I'm sure I can deal with and I'm very excited to see what comes next now.

Was the previous webcomic translated? my google-fu is not revealing much of anything.

Ah yes,a very perfectly placed.Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

Seems the water creature achieved the goal,and now she really should tell her.

Will she?...

Chapter 4 and 5 are a two-parter so I'm saving half the meaning of Japanese Rowan for next time.

But for some additional info, the Japanese Rowan, or Nanakamado in Japanese, gets its name for being notoriously hard to burn. The name is literally 7 (nana) hearths (kamado), that you could stick it in the hearth 7 times before it caught fire. This gave it an association with things needing great care and effort to accomplish. Some roads in Japan are intentionally lined with Japanese Rowan as a sign of extra precaution for drivers, which is also a bit of a hint to its other meaning.

Not that I'm aware of. I didn't do it at least, and so long as it covers the same material I don't plan to.
It wasn't that long (roughly 1.5 standard manga volumes worth of pages) so we could surpass it in about a year. The serialization is spending much more time with the early stages of their relationship but I imagine it'd be similarly paced once the action starts. And Kamejiro seems eager to catch up. This is supposed to be a monthly manga but chapters 4 and 5 released less than 2 weeks apart.

You fail at yuri forever.

It was a good chapter, but I don't understand its title. "Japanese Rowan"? What is that?

The credits have an explanation.
Meanwhile, at this point is there some reason she didn't just TELL her the broken sword was a fake?

But how would they have drama otherwise? You can't just have people behave like reasonable adults, there is no content in that.

She's explains (and the manga has shown) that the princess is in a terrible mental state and depends on that sword to keep her somewhat mentally stable. "Somewhat," yet she still hasn't been eating, barely sleeping and is so unhealthy and weak that she faints regularly. She could barely complete basic magic because of her state. She is clearly, dangerously depressed (with little care for herself) and there's no knowing what she would do if she found out that the sword, which she thinks holds the memories of her family within it and her only current purpose in life, were fake.

It's reasonable for an adult to tread lightly and the Nun has said on multiple occasions that she's trying to find a safe time to tell her. But first she is trying to talk the princess "off the ledge," so that she's in a more manageable mental state and can handle such potentially devastating news. That purpose is actually a large part of why the Nun has even been visiting the princess to regularly at all (and so part of the set up of the manga).

That's not forced drama, instead that's how you'd handle the situation in any reasonable setting. Even then the Nun almost tells the princess the truth once the sword breaks (as the Nun assumes there was no other way, then) but the princess is still so mentally unstable and in denial that she assumed the real sword's breaking is her fault (very self-healing). The fact that the princess's thoughts even work that way shows how seriously unhealthily her mind is operating.

This is a dramatic setup at it's core. Telling the princess the truth, in her state, would not prevent drama it would drastically increase it (and likely end the series).
