Just read the first 4 chapters of this and I quite like it. It's really nice to see a lead in a fantasy manga/LN use a Bow instead of the overexposed swords. The characters are all pretty likable too, and I especially thought Ellen's reaction to Tigre walking in on her by accident was very refreshing. My only gripes at this point is the first confrontation between Tigre and Ellen was a little anticlimactic and I find it a rather odd that Tigre isn't a little more hostile towards her. Even if Ellen is nice, she did just kill most of his men a day ago. One would think it take a little more time to warm up to her. |

No idea. I'll do what I feel like, I guess. I'll probably milk my time for all it's worth and try to learn more kanji (and grammar) as I read. If that's the case, even if I continue doing whatever it is I do, it will be slower. |

@ XFire
To add to EnigmaticAxiom, he killed their horses because the soldiers were wearing armor and although he's an excellent marksmen, it would be harder and more wasteful if he attempts to kill the soldiers. Since he is aiming to kill Ellen, he mainly wants to disrupt the formation and also cause some little chaos which will then allows him to have a better aim at Ellen with what small remaining arrows he has left. "Even if Ellen is nice, she did just kill most of his men a day ago." If I remembered correctly but he traveled with only Marthus and Batran (whatever the spelling maybe) and the rest of the men was from a different lord (those soldiers were also the ones that were mocking and ridiculing him for being an archer). So... he was only worried about Batran and Marthus and had hoped that they escaped since he did not see their bodies. That might explain why he wasn't very hostile against Ellen since the people she killed were not exactly nice people in the first place. It's even more evident when you learn how heavy the discrimination is against archers. I'm never tired of Ellen but more Ludmira would be awesome as well! Ludmira Ludmira Ludmira~ Oh wait... you're infecting me. Anyway, thinking of that makes me want some break, jam and tea. Haha.

He did it to check morale, but it does show that he was close to the soldiers under him. As for why Tigre wasn't angry. I'm guessing it's because he wasn't sure if Batran, Masas or his soldiers all died. Also, he's a pretty aloof guy/kind of a realist. ex: When Ellen asked if he was aiming to become king, he replied that it just wouldn't suit him. Too many responsibilities, doesn't have the power/status, moreover, he likes to sleep in and go hunting occasionally than do politics FUN > POLITICS Not much he could do even if he was angry to be honest, he's a prisoner of war inside of her castle full of soldiers @Engima: Go at your own pace lol. I'm plenty happy with volume 1 and was estatic when vol 3 preview was out(Tigre got to see Sophia naked bwhahhahahah~~!) but I know better than anyone that having fun prevails over work 90% the time. ....Hence why I usually cram before a midterm ^_^" But either way, I shall entertain myself with my imagination~!! Btw, about the manga, did it end in volume 1? Not 100% sure Chapter 4 was glorious~~! bahahahhah got the bald Rurick stalking Tigre, scene where Tigre and Ellen spare then he grabs her chest, and Tigre's expression when he saw Ellen bathing was friggin classic, not to mention when Lim walked in on him showering and he tried to act "dignified" while naked :3 so bookmarking that chapter Now quick question~!! In chapter 4 of the manga when Lim walks in on Tigre bathing, how many of you think "it" was up? Considering it was blurred and he was thinking of Ellen prior :3 |

that aside, I wonder if the Black Bow is the default which Tigre uses (its the standard he carries in skirmishes) in hunting or practice without the whole "power attacks for HP" sort.
Also, the bow in "inert mode" is still souped up, but I think its just it being a longbow design.

Although, I think he may be somewhat good at using the knife, since he has practice dismembering animals with them when he goes hunting. Also, think was mentioned that he used knife that one time in his sleep when Ellen tried to wake him up by using killing intent, and somehow his instincts kicked in? |

speaking aside, the knife is an invaluable tool when it comes to woodsmen and hunters. most recommended for Tigre is a blade that has the length of a forearm since it has plenty of areas which can be used. he probably uses it for carving his kills but never in close combat.

Since there's some good japenese reader here, can somebody tell me what Ludmira says in volume 2 page 006 please? (color page of presentation)
I kind off understood what ellen said (trolling Titta) but not for Sophia and blue girl. |

Besides politics can be fun too, when not heavy handed. Eitherway they were just some things I wasn't clear on. Anyway, I'm guessing Tigre will no choice, but to accept her offer end, otherwise a life slavery all that awaits him. Afterall there is no way his territory can pay that amount, and King apparently doesn't care about him. |
