Lily character design is just what I imagined her to be, well, close~ ^^
Futabasha Monster is more fervent than MFbooks... and that's kind of bad on my wallet orz Kind of surprised that Mana is using a shield, or maybe I just forgot about it |

From what has been posted, a lot of the novels added needed fleshing out for the characters and tightened up the story a bit.
Did Takahiro just dump Kato Mana off when they got to a human settlement/safe area, or did he learn to at least trust her slightly? |

Spoiler for from what i understood from MT:
Well, to begin with, since the poor girl is completely dependent from him in the monsterland, she doesn't really have option to afford herself to be bitchy. Last edited by Trikr; 2014-09-01 at 02:39. |

Finally caught up with te latest chapter. Definitely an interesting read...updates kinda' random though huh?
Looking forward to that as well. I always did like her from her introduction. Her presence and overall personality really helped in fixing his trust issues as well. Oh, but wait... Spoiler:

Silan / Silane (still not sure on how to type this ) Is Kei / Kay's grandmother, I think? The little loli elf just calls her nee-sama, Takahiro's party killed her older brother group after they turned into ghouls, and Silan mentioned something in the lines of "it's a knight's disgrace to live off as a undead, and turn against your comrades".

.... Basically I got the feeling that if he delays something a lot, we'll be compensated by lenght and lots of interesting stuff inside.

Spoiler:
Silane is too old to be aunt (even if she is, and an elf on top of that) thus nee-sama is more appropriate. The update is weekly unless the author is delayed by RL works, around Sunday or Monday . The time switch to the next day if it's delayed, so it might be Tuesday for 3 weeks and if delayed again, turn into wednesday. The publication also (may) increase the motivation, notice that Shinka no Mi is getting updated recently due to green light, and the same thing can happen to this one. |

^^ Thanks for the update info & scene translation, that was fun.
I think she is Kay's aunt of great aunt or something (well, they talk & act more like sisters anyway). They were related to one those ghouls? He did ask if they knew them & I thought it was only as fellow soldiers. Not sure but from what I can make out it seemed Kay's parents were one of the casualties of their frontier village? (or is it all the inaccurate info's in my head just merging messily) Oh, If all goes well, Rose will probably become a life size Rozen Maiden eh? But you know, with an axe instead of frilly clothing.

This series....is hard to rate...
The story is good, though I hate how often they just break off in 2-5 chapter discussions in the middle of emergency situations. The monologue circles back and forth and stretches on forever. At some point I just started speed reading through the 6-7 paragraph blocks between each line of dialogue and I'm pretty sure I caught all the important detail. It's not like those blocks of text were particularly detail heavy or story important, they were literally just "should I go left, or was right better, no maybe left is the best, but then in common psychology right is said to be the best?, maybe I should flip a coin?" Then if you were to write 8 paragraphs based on those thoughts that's kind of what I felt like I was reading at times. Still the rest of it was good enough to put up with that... just a bit of a headache at times, but otherwise up to current good story. Spoiler for 30:
Somehow I don't really feel satisfied though... both of those two ^ better die within the next few chapters.

Having "nothing going on" is irrelevant, and perhaps it helps as it's all about the character portrayal and interactions and their worries; which sometimes gives us some pretty fun conversations or build a pretty good ambiance..... Like, when Takahiro arrived to the fort, the reader could literally touch Takahiro's distrust and doubts--"You better get out of there NOW", I kept thinking; which was compelling at the time. But of course, there is what you mentioned, since the character perspective is given too much weight; there are times where urgence is more than needed, but instead we get rougly 5 pages of characters presenting their stand on the obvious (Rose can somehow made this not look so bad, but even then this isn't good)..... I wonder if they are going to change some places where this is too bad that in the final book version? I mean, there is an editor advice there. I get this feeling that a big chunk of the charm of the series is going to decay once Takahiro gains a proper "greater objective" and starts chasing after it, btw.
