>>283243876its a return to form
>>283243595This guy has drakmetagay blood too
>>283243876it's his best since Blame

>>283244093End of chapter. No break next month.
>>283244093>Huh. What should I do?Kiss her you fool!
>>283244018she looks so offmodel here, or the design changed? She looks more like a rabbit than a cat
>>283244123Nihei is too used to drawing Churafi in every chapter.
>>283244156churafi my beloved
Volume sales.
>>283243907Sorry I meant drakmetagooner
>>283244117Wait, does this mean Funapa will enter too?
>>283244291It's going to be Garanma and Funapa with an elite squad with the hammerbuns
Is Garamna female?
>>283244117thanks for the dumpa nice slow chapter
>>283244052>I love this girlWhat the fuck do I have alzheimer's?
>>283244093Setting up Funapa as a doppelganger for the princess?
>>283244408>Setting up
>>283244389Nope, it's completely out of nowhere
I love Toha Dungeon
>>283243494>heRIP Amazonian tribe fantasy you will be missed.>>283243616what? why?
>>283243335Wholesome cover. Did Garamna carry Funapa to the rooftop?
>>283244123oh yeah what the hell
>>283243340Hammerbuns chapter!
>>283243358Leave it in my mouth
>>283244524Maybe she shaved?
>>283243876It may be different in some regards, and everything about BLAME resonates with me very strongly, but it's very hard to argue that Tower Dungeon is not the peak of his work.He became a very well rounded mangaka and it shows in Tower Dungeon, which shows no weaknesses.
>>283243399A man solves the problem as always.

>>283243616This lucky guy gets to experience the adventure up the tower with no risk.
>>283243520cool shot
>>283244524This version of her design is much better.
>>283243545>>283243567>>283243595>>283243616lmao
>>283244052I'm guessing this would be familial love, but who knows.

>>283243746>Doctor Hammerbuns, I'm Funapa
>>283244775Or maybe she changes under the moonlight like a werewolf
>>283244665>The events in this chapter honestly feels like we've skipped 3 chapters of exposition.Hmm? Not really. We switched to Funapa's POV, it all makes sense.
>>283243766Cute seething 'Napa
>>283243793and kiss
>>283243977Karash tanked that btw
>>283243998Holy taila!
>>283244018>>283244052Does Garamna wear panties with a cutout for her tail?
>>283244052>>283244071woah, interspecies yuri?
>>283243634goddayum
Nihei delivers again
>>283245018He should do girls with short hair
>>283244093>doki dokiNihei knew what he was doing. Fanart will be nice
>>283244386Seems like a set up chapter
>>283244117I guess Garamna, Funapa and the guild will enter the tower together?
>>283244816for a moment i considered that
>>283244093>>283244117I thought she's gonna say something important, but we as a reader already know this information. So I guess this is a setup for Funapa to awaken her powers? I can't imagine Yuva and the gang going all the way down to save her when she inevitably gets cornered by a zombie.
>>283245018cute, have a SPLORT
>>283245018What's her name again?
>>283245217we literally still don't know
>>283245217Wife
>>283244522I think she's perfectly capable of getting up there herself if I go by the places where she hung out in chapter 1.
>>283243595He's literally me
>>283243358Boy they get you coming and going don't they.
>>283243616he's literally me
Character chart.
>>283243616Fucking kek. Also, I like how Nihei established last chapter, that you can choose to not transmit your thoughts through the rings and now we see why.
>>283243335YAYY cat lady chapter!
>>283243634Damn, unbunned Hammerbun girl looks magnificent.
>>283244071She's definitely Yuva's sister alright.
>>283243595>>283243567>>283243545wait so he's been able to peek into their thoughts since he first gave them?wow slick but also slightly creepy
>>283243335Ty for posting this chapter.I just wanted to express my discontent for how they characterized the new group in chapter 19. I was pretty pissed off that they made up all those names for the villain. It felt so out of character to force lame jokes. Piece of shit o mancer was a pretty big offender. I just would like to know if that was just a poor translation or if nihei was saying cringy shit like that for his characters?
>>283243634I hope Yuva follows the example of his father and impregnates every woman who has shown interest in himThis goddess of fertility must be bred
>>283243358Damn. Even in fantasy, the government is the biggest mafia.
>>283244278>Volume 4, the number of death has sold less than the third volume.When will Japanese grow a set and realise that it's just a stupid number, it won't kill them.
>>283243675What a slut sleeping in the rape alley all drunk.
>>283243567>>283243595>>283243616>chief has acquired his own private telenovela lol, makes you wonder how many times he's done it and whether he listens to several conversations every day
>>283244052>>283244071>>283244093Lmao it really does run in the family
Never read his previous works. Is this the first /u/ couple of him?
Aw fuck the /u/fags are here
>>283244071A cat is fine?
>>283244071>>283245695Monsterfucker genes are too strong. The king would be proud.
>>283244660Booze, sweat, piss and vomit mixed with the smell of subpar food drowning in shitty slightly moldy cheese garlic sauce.
>>283244071>>283244093No, no, Garamna is for Churafi.
>>283245702God forbid a man have a hobby.
>>283244117>leave Funapa for the tower>catch up to Yuva's party>learn he's directly descended of the late king>you left the hope of the kingdom unattended
>>283244123>>283244524>>283244775Well, it's also been a while since we saw Iscale looking like in his introduction either. I guess Nihei chose to transition to a more stylized art style in general for schedule reasons. I saw it happen with other manga too, when serialization starts in earnes and they have to keep up the release schedule. I hope he'll still do more detailed shots now and then to remind us how it's "supposed to look like". Iscale sure could use the coolness reminder.
>>283246214>leave Funapa for the towerAfter having sex of course.
>>283246268
>>283243335I'm getting vertigo just from the first page.
Anime when?
>>283245702Well I assume they don't have television in that world, so the dude got hooked on the equivalent of a reality tv show.
>>283246494Next week
>>283246284nah knights are celibate
>>283246565yuri sex doesn't count to celibacy
>>283246581celibacy for knights includes kissing and anything beyond, shocking I know
>>283243340>>283243358>>283243446>>283243520>>283243545>>283243651>>283243858>>283243998>>283244117I adore those scenery establishing shots of the watchtower. Also nice sense of foreboding when the dragon tower finally gets put in the frame again on the last page.
>>283246664Nothing about steamy interspecies yuri sex in the celibacy books
>>283244278Seems stable for now. Would be nice to see it go further up, if only to increase the chances of a decent studio getting assigned to this, when it gets a shot at being adapted.
>>283244117thanks for the dump OP. I have never read a whole Nihei manga before but I like this one very much, I've been following it since the beginning.
>>283246782lmao, it's getting adapted by Polygon Pictures
>>283246755no it's right there under the knighthood clause, cat in armor dies a virgin
>>283246870Nihei needs to break his relationship with whoever he is banging from that studio
>>283243651>>283243675>>283243694I want to shit on her face too....
>>283246986They are the only ones that take the risk of animating niheis stuff.
>>283243876Too abrupt.
>>283245741Its basically a table top banter dialogue, which are inherently cringe if you ever played one.
>>283244052Everything regarding relationships in this manga is so fast.
>>283246986That is one of the few studios that isn't running a slave labor shop and it's not like 3DCG can't be good.
>>283243793>>283244117>setting up the excavators to be in charge of Funapa's safety
>>283244117Thanks for the dump. Great intermission/setup chapter. Loved to see that focus on the Hammebuns. Vice Chief looks goddamn hot with her hair down. Loved the varied perspectives and establishing shots and how he draws the bodies of the characters in perspective. Reading this reminds me how limited the composition of shots and panels is in many manga.Storywise, I hope the focus on the hammerbuns and tension between Funapa and Vice Chief leads to some kind of teamup. If I had to speculate, I could see the hammerbuns getting conscripted or hired by the kingdom to accompany Garamna, since an entire legion just got wiped out and they don't have any more troops in the immediate vicinity. Remember that Yuva got conscripted in the first place, because the tower has been grinding up available forces in an attempt to rescue the princess. Would be cool if there was some circumstance to bring Funapa along, say, as a door opener, since she probably has the royal genes. Then again, if she's the main hope for the kingdom to have a proper successor of the main royal line, it might be prudent to not take her into the floating death trap.
>>283246782Frieren's team will get it since they are running out of materials soon.
>>283247106>it's not like 3DCG can't be goodit can't
Do you think this is the only tower they will climb, or there's going to be another one later in the story?Or some kind of a twist to extend the tower like in DMC3?
>>283247106I think this could flourish into something big if it got the luxury treatment of a good traditional anime adaption. Without pulling the obvious Frieren card, I'd think something along the lines of what bones did with Mob Psycho would fit it very nicely. The weaving of world building, storytelling and character interaction is so good, I can still hardly believe how good Nihei became since his beginnings. But yeah, realistically, I it'll be fucking Polygon Pictures.
>>283247287I don't think there's really any need to extend the tower. They're currently heading for, what was it, level 80 or 100, because that's where the necromancer wanted to meet them, but I think the tower far exceeds that floor number. Really depends on how long Nihei wants to keep the manga going.
>>283247113>setting up the excavators to be in charge of Funapa's safety>buns forced to get along with her future sister in law after starting off on the wrong foot
>>283243675i can work with this*unzips dick*
>>283243567how can he hear the girl? she doesn't have a ring
>>283243634SEEEEEEXXXXXXOOOO
>>283247566He has no control over his own thoughts, so he's basically broadcasting 24/7. This rando dude is basically getting the whole thing streamed to him constantly.

>>283243634rip buns
Y-Yuva can't be in love with his sister...
>>283243953>>283243977What do you think the odds are that this guy is infected with something and was only allowed to escape to become a parasite bomb inside the gates?
>>283248014I want an ending where he fucks every girl but her.
>>283246033>Never read his previous works>there are people on this board who haven't read BLAME!
>>283248312Hey now some of us have read Biomega, Apomizm and the Sgt Johnson comic he did second best comic in the Halo GN right after the Mobius one

>>283247210House no nikki was pretty good actually.
>>283247545There's bird shitand vomit everywhere, anon.
>>283247566Weren't thoughts able to be transmitted if you were touching the person also?
>>283249207our ancestors had sex without A/C or air freshener. he can handle handle a little poop and puke laying around
>>283248025Almost 100% given what we know of the necromite plan. Or at least to act as a spy, maybe to kidnap Funapa so she can be a bargaining chip.
>>283243616So that means there are 4 rings right? the 3 these fools have plus the one the king/shitomancer has?
>>283248025Something does seem fishy about his story, considering we know that Karash was ultimately defeated by Yuva's group. So either he broke into pieces, got turned back when the basilisks self destructed and then got reassembled by necromites from multiple pieces, or what the dude just told has been made up of half truths and bullshit, meaning he's infected and steered by the necromancer.
>>283244117Thanks for the dump, OP.>voyeur excavator chief>imouto and vice-chief catfight>imouto being set up to enter the TowerGreat chapter.
>>283251544>So either he broke into pieces, got turned back when the basilisks self destructed and then got reassembled by necromites from multiple piecesThat's exactly what happened.
>>283248014>>283248202Is fucking your sister or slimy corpse maggots worse
>>283252093
>>283251846Agreed, it was a nice chapter. I like this excavator chief. She's funny and pretty.
>>283243634Very breedable lass.
>>283243470rub-a-dub dub
>>283252411What if she did do that?
>>283243634Hair down sexo
>>283252093Then never mind, the dude's story at least checks out then.
>>283243634Sexo señorita, por favor.
>>283243567>>283243595I was convinced I was gonna hate this due, given that he was the leader of a band of hot chicks and I was expecting him to be lame by comparison, but he's actually great.
>>283243766>being this petty over one little insult
I like the name "Funanpa." If I have a female pet, I'll give it that name.
The boss got smaller and the vice chief bigger
>>283243977I get the feeling Karash's story isn't done if the circumstances of his death are being brought up again. We never did see him turn into a necromite after all.>>283244117What an awesome shot.
>>283243358Do they not tell anyone the gist before they go up the tower?
>>283249007>>283249182
>>283247566by not speedreading
>>283252411That's not the excavator chief.
>>283244117Thanks OPWe are so back
Was royalty just servants for the greater beings that controlled the tower before? Seems like the big door was probably an elevator straight to the summit.
I love Churafi.
>>283255841
>>283243616I can't wait for when the rest of the guild finds out and they start holding hands and eavesdropping together like a watch party. Too bad if they find out one of them is going to accidentally transmit their thoughts and ruin it anyways.
>>283255815>Was royalty just servants for the greater beings that controlled the tower before?That could be true, but all we know is that the kings aren't in charge. Maybe the door is for other nations' kings.
>>283247636I would play the fuck out of a Tower Dungeon game done by pre-2016 Fromsoft but i have no faith in them actually delivering the dungeon crawler aspect now.
>>283243651GIWTWM

>>283243470>fragrance of the excavators unionI AM NOW IMAGINING THE SMELL
>>283255171They probably do but the argument is the corpse isn't treasure and has no monetary value. It probably does have value but you can see the argument

>>283258190It's okay to be gay, Anon.
>>283243335>new chapterFuck, is it that time of the month already?
Good chapterino. However, it's a little bit worrying that everyone's soon going to be at the tower, and the necromancer is the only villain left that we know of. Is this going to be a short manga?
>>283260611Probably, the author isn't known for making 400 chapter long series
>>283254765holy SEXO
>>283260611And that's a good thing, duck those 400 long series where absolutely nothing happens until 100 chapter before the end of the series
>>283260611>it's a little bit worrying that everyone's soon going to be at the towerThe manga is called Tower Dungeon, anon.
>>283244117Thanks for the dump anon. I really, really liked this chapter. There's not really a great deal of world building going on, but dedicating time to flesh out the minor characters and show a different pace of life back at the fortress really makes a world of difference. I wonder what significance there is in the excevation team leader spying on Yuva and Lilisen, other than it being funny. I'm sad to say that the cat girl has some pretty big death flags looming over her now. I don't know if there's some kind of doomed yuri situation going on, or if Funapa just thinks she's a cute cat lady, and the cat lady wants to protect Funapa because she's an innocent girl (I have completely forgotten how old Funapa is), but I can see the cat dying tragically in the near future.
>>283260611necromancer is on floor 100 of what is more like a 1800 floor tower. Of course, it could structured as such to give nihei an easy out if they ask him to axe the manga early. But it's doing pretty well so I think it's more likely whatever happens just becomes a catalyst for a more overarching plot.
>>283260611Necromancer is standing in front of a ton of secrets about the tower, he could easily be defeated in the first act while setting up a reason for Dark Souls Killy to climb the rest of the way.
She's a big girl.
Has Garamna been confirmed female by anyone other than Karash? And maybe he was throwing shade.
>>283262244This is the first time we see her without her armor and she is flat as a desk, so who knows
>>283251294Do we actually know for certain that Garamna is a she?
>>283244524>>283244775Maybe she got a haircut, or her fur gets all messed up from the helmet, and the sleek look is after a bath.But I think more realistically it's is just artstyle drift. Bit of a shame. I like the early design better.
>>283243520>>283243595Is no one gonna talk about how tiny the goggles chick is?
>>283243757マメヒツジ. Likely 豆羊 - "Bean Sheep".
>warrior of the group is actually a Radahn tier gravity mage>mage of the group is an unga tard with anger management issues
>>283262926>mage of the group is an unga tard with anger management issuesThat doesn't wear pantsu.
>>283261975Why is the one in blender so fat?
>>283243358lol'd
>>283244117Oh snap. Dead meat unless Team Yuva pulls all the tower's aggro. If Funapa goes too I guess that's how they'd survive.
Lilisen and Vice-Chief having a catfight over Yuva!
>>283260611There's also the tower faction itself which we've been given little exposition.
>>283263440It's taking a lot of bytes
Cheesed to meet you
>>283265295...alright that one was pretty good, Carlos.
>I'm in the manga too
>>283266261
>>283243470>nihei once again manages to work his smellfaggotry into a wokI kneel
>>283258011How would that benefit her as a battlemage?
>>2832621464u
>>283266692I mean we got a panel of Yuva pretty much smelling Lilisen's ass.
>>283243616holy kek>>283243595he is literally me
>>283262146I like Funapa. Please protect her!
>>283262940All is forgiven.
>>283266692I think Nihei has a short hair fetish just like me
>>283266740I bet her and Yuva are 40-50 year old
>>283266692Smell is biological, there aren't many high-tech smells and they're not as varied as what life produces, this is an essential element for the life/tech contrast of Nihei's aesthetic
>>283267083I bet she's actually 200+ years older than Yuva and she's just never mentioned that to him
>>283267110Can you taste metal?
>>283267083Watch Yuva insist that he's 20 and Funapa's 16, then as they pry further, the party discovers that his village has a fucked up understanding of how long a year is due to bizarre seasonal patterns at their altitude or something.
>>283267137Metal has a few smells/tastes but it's all the same for the entire chemical, it is inherently nose-brutalist. Microfauna are needed for the true imaginable melange.
Man I am so happy. I haven't been this hooked on a Nihei manga since Sidonia. I think he finally got his mojo back, every chapter end just leaves me wanting to read the next part already. I didn't feel like this with Aposizm
>>283267645FUCK YOU
>>283267645
>>283267645>ruins Sidonia>ruins Blame>ruins Shiny ColorsIs there anything good this studio has made?
>>283243876I feel it has picked up the best from each.
>>283267719Hopefully Tower Dungeon.
>>283244052Nihei style romance>Love you now, done
>>283268250It's refreshing, just how Tomino used to do it.

>>283270000Tomino expects you to pick up on the very subtle body language he has his animators slip in to show relationships developing but you don't expect subtle from how his characters are shouting their motivations at each other
>>283266701the clap of her ass cheeks can be used to activate spells
>>283267719I thought Sidonia was still better compared to Blame!I wish an actual good studio would adapt blame!
Karash is coming back, isn't he...
>>283267110>there aren't many high-tech smellsIf GitS taught me anything it's the smell of lithiumhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wolcpa9s6NU
>>283271712GOD I WISH THAT WERE ME
>>283270011Imagine the smell...
>>283244278Volume 6 when?
>>283243634HmmDid I make her too big?
>>283272189Yeah, but I don't blame you. Forearms seem weirdly short, though.
>>283245867Have you paid any attention to their constitution? It just might.
>>283243335Thanks for the chappie dump
>>283272618Damn, you're right...
>>283258011
>>283272189>too big?no such thing.
>>283260611Niggamancer doesn't have the run of the tower himself, he's silicon life/gauna in this setting. Floor 100 will be the end of the tutorial.
>>283243815oh cool, you can see him approaching in the first panel
>>283246268i'm so used to him just being a black blob with a goofy face attached to it i forgot what he originally looked like
>>283244775she straight up looks like a Burmecian in some shots this chapter
>>283274574tower dungeons version of Izana but she's going to end up even more cucked and humiliated by the time the manga ends.
>>283276705If there's any romantic development in the story, Lilisen will end up with either Yuva or Eliquo
>>283276705I can almost guarantee Lilisen will end this manga female
>>283277102If Ardiella can turn a male body female, there's gotta be something out there that does the opposite.
>>283243634Fucking GOD she is just my type. Spicy tomboy with just enough cute, and now we see that she has long black hair which is thd pinnacle of sex. I love her little buns, that hairstyle works way better for a rough tomboy than it would for most kinds of girls, and girls letting down their done up hair alwags activates my almonds on an instinctive, probably genetic, level. My entire dick.
>>283243998Itty bitty kitty titty?Nice DFC kot.
>>283267242There are plenty of non-biological smells. Many synthetic or naturally-occuring non-biological chemicals have extremely pungent aromas. You will never forget the smell of chlorine gas, and chloroform has a rather pleasant aroma.
Funapa a cute.
>>283279065She does seem kinda bratty and imature though. And probably gay for cats, or just felinesexual.
>>283279221She's Yuva's sister and a Nihei character. She'll fuck anything that moves, the more tentacles the better.
>>283279221Yes, she is a cute.
>>283243876Easily the best other than blame! ..the characters and scenarios just feel great, well thought out
>>283267614I loved aposimz, that ending was brutal. He had to have said something to someone on purpose.
>>283243651Was this necessary?
>>283280601Yes.
>>283280601It's like people drawing dicks on your face after you pass out at a party. It's funny
>>283280601Nihei loves a good old fashioned poop joke
>>283244775That's so much better, there's actual space in her cranium for a brain.
>>283280834>joke
>>283245217Sweetheart Bun
>>283246497>Well I assume they don't have television in that world, so the dude got hooked on the equivalent of a reality tv show.I wonder whether he ships Ari or Lili. Or prehaps he ships his sister or is a secret yaoifag? Either way he probably can't tell bun imouto.
>>283255815Why are almost all the men, and I mean soldiers/knights and peasants not weedy merchants, about the same height as the women?

>>283285418Bestscale
just get to the dragon already, Nihei..
>>283285942That's the problem with making a manga like a modern fantasy novel with a dozen main characters and constantly switching POV. Feels like Nihei is having fun exploring the characters he created, so I can't blame him.
>>283286169we had enough already, time to move on.
>>283286169He's getting the whole cast together don't worry, this is going to have a bigger apocalypse than Aposimz
>>283286948You think 'Napa is gonna become part of the main cast? It's already overcrowded.
>>283244052Garamna says that she sukis Funapa, which is not necessarily a platonic love.
>>283287604Women can have courtly love too
>>283287740what about cat women
>>283287809What about lady cat roundhead knights
Minserbel in the thread.
Loli Minserbel in the thread.
>>283282599Adriella is in an originally male body. Lilisen is probably just tall.
>>283288239There are plenty of tiny women in the excavators (who are the real heroes, being apparently just stock humans not secret dragon royalty or fire mages or archery champions)
>>283287921
/a/pproved ongoing fantasy manga with dump threads
>>283288529>Land of monsters got cutNyo... it's not over yet....
>>283245741If I remember right in japanese they said kusomancer which is close to necromancer (kuso, shit) but the translation used piece-of-shit-o-mancer which adds way too many extra syllables in my opinion, that's what makes it sound like 12 years old humor. The translation could have simply used shitomancer. It's still very low-tier humor but it's not as bad when the length of the word isn't increased, they just wanted a quick and simple way to distinguish when they talk about all necromancers in general and when they talk about this specific one, since it turned out not all of them are shit.
>>283288862It's owarida.
>>283287053Garamna is, Funapa is going to be a hostage and take care of the princess and brush her mutant tentacles while the necromancer doesn't notice she's also royal
>>283288992>Garamna islolno, Garanma has death flags waving all over her
I missed the thread for chapter 20, what was the reaction to the reveal that Yuva canonically possess gravitational brick emitter I mean weight manipulation powers?
>>283288936It's "anokusojutsushi" (あのクソ術士). Kuso as an insult can be translated in a variety of tones if you choose to, from "damned", to "rotten", to "shit". But ultimately it's a silly joke from a brainlet mouse, so it's supposed to sounds kinda goofy.
>>283288529Centuria is shonen slop
>>283243567>>283243595I love that he's getting all emotional about characters talking about their love for the kingdom, going "me too! I love it", this dude isn't even spying on anything romantic but he's so into it. Also he learned that Aridellia is a necromancer but hasn't made any urgent report about it, he intends to keep secrets. Total bro (for a creep)
>>283289326
>>283289244Thanks, I remember someone in a thread mentioning they added "kuso" to his name but didn't remember the specifics. If it doesn't directly means shit and can be damned/rotten then I think the translation did an even greater disservice here.
>>283288426Classy
>>283288936they didnt say kusomancer. I said kusoyaromancer during the dump of that chapter but i was wrong, see >>283289244
>>283243953I'm surprised that petrification works on Karash, no wonder he jobbed so hard. Or perhaps jobbed is the wrong word because that battle was legit unwinnable. If even being a full blood Drakmetamor doesn't protect from this status effect then the basilisk swarm is ridiculously broken. The human forces would already have been screwed even if the enemy didn't enforce blindness.
>>283289842Karash tanked it btw
>>283244052>>283287604Don't fall for Garamna's shallow feelings. She can (probably) smell that Funapa is a direct daughter of the king. She just want a sugar mommy queen.
I wonder if Yuva will keep growing and getting more imposing physically as he gets older. In a hundred years he will probably look like a juggernaut.
>>283288936I didnt notice this is where the hole in his helmet got fixed
>>283290082The king is not imposing physically.
It's still weird to me how important Aridelia became to the story.
>>283290636EhNihei has a thing for inhuman women, it's not that surprising
>>283290663The king is Nihei's self insert.
>>283290636I like it. I was wondering what Nihei would cook with a human warrior woman character but I certainly didn't expect a rogue necromancer. Iscale got ridiculously lucky when he pulled her and Sargan into his party. Maybe he just has phenomenal luck in general to compensate with his shitty dragon form.
>>283290805Not as lucky as Yuva finding the Fus Roh Dah Jewel in a random slug monster
I appreciate the contrast we get when we see the mountain fortress, which is a very definite building that's changing over time in definite ways. There's only one of everything and it seems cramped, as opposed to the tower where everything goes.
>>283243335What is the point of chapters set at the base camp? The main characters are never going to go back to it.
>>283290082Probably not but the implications of his ability are nutty. Can he just flick a pebble as if it was a hollow-point? Maybe there's a limit.
>>283243567Who is "That man?"
>>283291637I think there's almost no limit and it's compensated purely by the bullshitness of the forces they are fighting against.
>>283291619If I had to hazard a guess, this is setting up Garamna and Funapa climbing the tower. That way it won't be a surprise or require some kind of lengthy flashback to explain if the main party ever encounters them.
>>283291911Also setting up the excavators being up to date on exposition
>>283291911>>283291960Yeah but they'll just be wiped out by the Necromites the next time they go in now.
>>283243815I like how Funapa is being subtly built up as some kind of superhuman, not merely with the moving hair, but with unnatural endurance as well. It makes sense considering what we know about the legacy of her family now, but I can't help but wonder how she compares to, say, Yuva.
>>283291637Kind of, yeah. This is the same story, Yuva is Killy, his super strength is his gravity beam emitter, the necromancers are silicon life, the towa is Toha and this brick chuck is Sidonia's mass driver.
>>283291652It's a bit unclear/awkward even in context, just earlier she is talking about the king and then the mention of "that man" comes out of nowhere. Logically she could only be referring to the original owner of the body she hijacked. It's kinda poetic? "Both me and my lover wants to serve this kingdom!", even after 100 years she still thinks in terms of doing what he would do himself, would approve. It sets her apart from the evil necromancers who don't give a crap about the wishes of the previous owner of their body.
>>283292044They know what to expect now and can bring bug spray.
>>283290232king was really tall, like 2x aridelia height
>>283292161err, no?
>>283292126That's what I thought at first, but I think it would be so weird for her to call the man she loved "that man." Like, not even a name? And it's the wrong word in English; it implies he's still around and she's not in his body.
>>283291619The excavator leader having a third ring has massive plot implication. It's presented as a joke but it means anytime in the future he can choose to break silence and relay critical information or bring the cavalry to save the heroes. The base camp really gained importance now that we know there is direct communication possible, the protagonists just don't know it yet.
>>283292211He's a midget of a dracomorph.
>>283292229Different anon here and I don't know what she says in the raws but "あの 人" is a pretty common way for women to refer to their husbands in Japanese. It felt obvious to me that the body's original owner is who she was talking about.
>>283292267Doesn't the shitomancer have a ring too though if he took the King's body?
>>283291619Because we want to read about these characters?
>>283292211this panel was just before the one you posted, idk its too inconsistent
>>283292300Ah, so it's just a miss on the localization.
>>283292229It's one of those things that's normal in japanese speech but sounds all weird in english. You often see the phrasing "that man" in mango scanlations and everytime it feels weird, there's no real way to translate it without awkwardness.
>>283292310I have the feeling they need to be "linked" in advance for long distance communication. Otherwise you'd put on one ring and get connected to like 100 random people. The buff leader probably had three rings already pre-configured for long distance communication. This panel >>283292382 does imply that the short distance communication is always turned on, or at least Aridellia suspects it.
>>283292229>>283292300>>283292446She says あの人 (anohito), which can just be translated as "he". It is not necessarily an impersonal term.
>>283292632Yeah, "He and I" or "This man and I" would've been better. Or even just "both of us."
>>283292382That was right after he drakmetamorphed, so maybe he's still in the process of morphin'
>>283292300This anon is correct, Japanese dictionaries define あの人 as having an interpretation of 女性から自分の恋人や夫をさしてもいう so it's pretty obvious she's referring to her lover. "That person" is an overly literal translation.
>>283248912Soon to be the second most dangerous place after all the others
>>283289400It's funny and endearing but it also has me wondering if the psychic rings allow emotions to flow in and influence others, and if that could be how the king tamed all those monsters. Most of these characters have never had a reason to care about the kingdom at all, they care about their friends, maybe the king's will is leaking into them.
total POSOM death
>>283243470Yuva’s butch girlfriend is so cute and low class!
>>283287604Both 好き and 愛している can be platonic love anyway, or not-platonic. Same as using "love" in English. There's different nuance in Japanese between the two, but for what it's worth, they mean the same thing. Like the difference between "crap" and "shit".>>283289500Kuso does literally mean shit, but here's the fun thing about Japanese: their vocabulary for insults is dogshit. So unless you want every insult to be "shit", "bastard", "damn", or "you!!", then the translator is going to get creative with it. Like most translators will make an offhand "kuso!" into a "fuck!" And if a particularly polite person does it, they might even just translate it as "crap!" or "heck!">>283292940It works almost exactly the same as it does in English. A widow will refer to her husband as either "my (late) husband", their name, or "that man". "That person's" a little callous but it's fine. A lot people get so hooked up on JP nuance that they forget that the same shit also applies in English. We just don't have a specific dictionary entry for it because it's a stupid thing to point out.
>>283294182>they mean the same thingThey don't. You can suki anything - objects, weather, ice cream. You can only ai a person
>>283244775You’re all overthinking it, it’s just Nihei being Nihei

So basically the chief knows all the deepest story secrets? Kek.
>>283243616The Hammer Buns chief is my new favorite character
>>283294182The most thematically appropriate usage of "kuso" in manga and translation is probably from Houseki no Kuni.Bort always calls Phos a "kuso" which not only comes from the word "shit", but is also in the kanji for "slag", i.e., the impurities or rubbish that's left when you melt metal. That is 金屎 (かなくそ). That 屎 is the same "kuso" characters use in other series when they say things like "shit", "fuck", or "shitty old man", usually expressed in kana.

>>283292632N4 pleb here, this sentence is melting my brain a bitIs the literal translation here "That man and I also love the kingdom to an extent that wouldn't be beaten by the king?"
>>283243616So how come they're unaware of his thoughts?
>>283299811It felt weird for me as well. Is his ring special in any way? Or did the author forget about how those rings worked? This chapter was bizarre because of this ring and Garamna's face looking like rabbit.
>>283299869>>283299811Did you two forget how the ring bearers can choose when to transmit their thoughts?It's part of the comedy of how Yuva either forgot about this detail or chooses to be unfiltered anyway.
>>283300039So you choose and the ring memorizes it?
>>283300039Yuva is that one open mic retard in cs lobby
>>283269559Would she still blush if she didnt know he has royal blood? I bet she is a gold digger.
>>283243335thanks for dumping
>>283300792She didn't know at this point
>>283299090Yes. Or 'That man and I won't lose to the king in the extent of love for the kingdom' if you want to be weirdly literal.
>>283299869I found it pretty clever of Nihei to establish the fact that you can choose to not transmit your thoughts in the previous chapter through a Lilisen/Yuva comedy bit, which then becomes a lot more relevant with the reveal from the latest chapter. Nihei knew exactly what he was doing here.
>>283299869He probably didn't expect Yuva to be a drooling retard in controlling the ring. He likely did it just to keep updated on his saviors, as well as catch any important information they share about the tower such as treasure they find or something else.Instead he got Yuva's autobiography.
>>283301654I wonder if he's done this before in other ruins? Give two of the rings to another adventurer group going deeper into the ruins, collect them off their corpses when the Hammerbuns go in there prepared for whatever killed them?
>>283299869>did the author forget about how those rings worked?is this your first time encountering a piece of fiction where the statements of various characters are not 100% accurate representations of the story's world? had it not occurred to you that someone might lie about the functionality of such an item in order to spy in the very way that he does in this chapter?
>>283292121>towa is tohano buildersno enlargement>super strength is gravity beam emitteryou're confusing physical characteristic with weapon
>>283303175There weren't any builders in Toha in the superstructure either, they had extraterritoriality against them and that was why the electro-fishers wanted in. Yuva's super-strength was confirmed gravity magic in the last chapter.
>>283303206it's obvious that nihei is playing with the notion that this might be sci fi but i'm not sure if he will go for full science twist a la gene wolfewhat i'm saying is that tower is a minuscule structure compared to anything in blame
>>283248612It's the POSOM, he wants his rightful place as king
>>283292059These kinds of scenarios always make the girl stronger as a kind of trope. Funapa probably has pubes that can defeat the POSOM.

>>283303321>>283303570I'm not saying this is the same setting at all, just that he's been using the same motifs (the kingdom crest being Toha sigil, Yuva wearing the GBE gun icon on his tunic) and a towa with a princess in it has always been one of those.
