Hello, is it possible to suggest a subscribed tab? Only for works (or perhaps even groups!) that we follow, like maybe right next to Recently added, I've been here for years but I still can't get used to how the site re arranges uploads by date... The way I keep track right now is when I notice recent activity in the forum's thread or by checking mangadex and then coming here to comment or see if it's uploaded in both sites.

I could subscribe by email but I manage 5 so I lose track there. Thanks for listening, I love Dynasty !

But my God, I hope the climax isn't with Manaria

I'd expect them to do the entire Kingdom arc?

I think "I won't say goodbye" could be a good end for a 12 episode anime, that's 20 manga episodes

I'd say it's highly unlikely that only the first novel will be adapted.

Why? It took four manga volumes to cover Volume 1, and Volume 2 is a bit longer. If they tried to cover both volumes it would be a super rushed anime. People seem to forget that A) The volumes of this LN are pretty big and B) The very dry and "straight to the point" writing style means there is more story to adapt in 10 pages here than in 10 pages of your usual LN.

The average number of novels adapted in a season is three, maybe even four (you can search for examples). That would be impossible here, since the third novel is the beginning of a completely different Arc, but I'd say that it would the right decision to adapt the two novels completely, since the chances of a second season are very low.

Hmmm then the way I see it, we have 1 novel vol adapted properly (and there's enough material for that as proved with the manga) or 2 vols rushed tremendously... I don't like the second option, it might even affect the way I enjoy the manga with it's current pace.

Oh I thought the trailer looked nice enough too, or like, As long as Claire looks consistently good and funny, that's enough for me... They can reduce the budget and frames when it comes to the princes.

But my God, I hope the climax isn't with Manaria leave that for an hypothetical beginning of the season 2, so people can have more episodes to clean the bitter aftertaste.

That's true, you can tell if you understand Japanese enough, that's what she says but the version I saw translated it to "if someone plays in stage, they would be the coolest person" in English.

If you change the subs to French or Spanish, it actually says they would fall for such person but in English is just "cool" even I remember the fan translation of the manga going for love, as it should be!

I'm just so glad the arc is over, like...as expected, even after admitting in Claire's face that she was just playing around because "she enjoys her reactions" (like half killing her) she got absolutely no repercussion and she didn't even felt guilt at all.

But it's over... it's finally over and they're closer now, I'm so glad and happy for Rei,.. She even feels bad for using game knowledge for her advantage, that's true dignity.

Title drop gave me the full extent of it's meaning and wooow I felt that, Poor Asa.. She needs love and Makio can't give it to her to that extend, it might take a while for her to properly stand by herself with a sense of belonging.

Someone pick it up in MD, now I won't spoil anything but here's a piece of advice, skip everything the males say, like ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING pretend they're saying "bla bla bla" and this become 1000% better and more enjoyable.

The things they say are so lame, predictable, superficial and pathetic that you don't need that in your memory and just by their face you can tell they're saying something stupid, so by extrapolating their faces with the protagonist's reactions you can deduct what's happening without problem, trust me this is the way.

Always great to see Honoka and Kaoru interactions, the two are so different personality wise so it’s nice to see their dynamics collide

Yeah and their home is the only non romantic/sexual event we get from this series (well, perhaps the manga club shenanigans also count) but veeeeeery rarely and I love it so much, it's so cozy I want more.

We're going to get 800 primogens from december 10 to 13 because they won a category in the game awards by the way!
I haven't touched the card game yet, feels like I need to take a whole day to get into it... I think I'll do the 3.3 story quest first.

Also Yao Yao is coming at last ! probably 3.4

It's not like they're drinking every day, we're just seeing the chapters where they do drink, there might be several days between each occasions.
The problem with the characters emotions comes from the fact that they're always blushing no matter what... And that's a trick you would use to show bashfulness or tipsy but because this is the default, we can't tell, and for this to be a manga about getting drunk and love, THOSE states are important, only when they're uneasy or worried is not shown.

ch.24
What a great piece of advice by Manaria, "you should make your feelings clear before you molest someone" sure sounds like a reasonable take

Yeah I was shocked when she revealed what she did. That wasn't unrequited love, that was an abuse of power and a crime. If she was a guy she would be considered a stalker or an abuser. Really not liking how the story is going with the way it portrays love as these bets are just stupid and they should just talk to each other or something. This progress doesn't feel natural and is just forced.

I could say so much about these developments but my biggest grief is the systematical idiotization of our protagonist in favor of Manaria's plan, like, WE ALL KNOW what she's trying to do and WE ALL KNOW how it should end and I don't even read the LN, is just a trope, but man, they're doing it a poor job it hurts to watch Rei act like this when we know she's so much better and cool headed, but this development wouldn't work with a smart protagonist so she had to be nerfed, she's doomed to look bad, even know she's attacking her with magic knowing full well it doesn't work... why.

I hope is over soon, so maybe I will take some vacations until ... I don't know, July or something.

They've become roommates Yaaayyyy! Finally, that was nice... You can tell how relieved Botan was.

And you're right it is kinda silly, like if you think about it they went
Botan: There's something I want to tell you
Ibuki: ok
Botan:...
Ibuki:..
Botan: ...*starts grilling*
Ibuki...
Then this chapter happens and at the end is like "Oh FFS LETS BE LOVERS! HIC"

Design wise they're already kicking butts! love the student council LoL before I knew it, I was already subscribed to Zaion... such power!

one of the guys looks a lot like Bae's male persona ... in fact he has the exact hair color/details, brothers separated at birth?

Ver sounds great ngl...but I won't follow more guys, glasses guy sounds like he's trying too hard but that's fine for the first couple of months until they relax and become naturals.

That's putting it too simply, here's a fan translation of the notice https://mangadex.org/chapter/942e0b64-8de7-4060-9328-a6ebaaf27c00

The author didn't simply lose motivation, she is in fact doing a lot and you can check the twitter for that, in fact, I dare to say we'll see a new work more focused on action for a while... School zone wasn't cancelled, the author just wanted to try new things but it wasn't possible to handle both works at once so giving it a break was the best choice, unless you wanted a rushed ending.

I like her words, we have limited time in this world, so let's just do what we really want while we can. I'm sure new ideas for school zone will be born in the back of her mind in the meantime, for now I'm excited to see what she comes up with.

I've been following the Blade master so I can shine some light on the plot, this is all basic stuff so I won't spoil anything critical.

The protagonist was a former hero who loved to battle, but because of his rise as a great hero the people turned him into a king and he always regretted how his life turned so boring in a castle.

In her now second life, the starting point is from the moment she's born with the memories of the previous life... By the time she's teenager, I think it's fine to assume the protagonist has no problem being a woman, in fact she's pretty proud of how cute she look and the agility of this body.

Being reborn as a girl doesn't make her preference for woman change but we never see her act like a pervert or anything, she's pretty bashful in fact.

Her only concern is to NOT repeat the same path, she wants to become a knight and battle powerful enemies that's all...while also hidding the secret of the previous life, anything else is very spoilery.
