>>286565601>hey lets all talk about why we never liked poppy
>>286565312it builds character
>>286565159Not really, the possibility of losing control of their own tower is an even bigger threat.
Demi a bitch
>>286565565It certainly seems like the boy was aware of it, that's why he wanted to leave.
>>286565953I want to cuddle with while she flips me of
>>286565565That's just what it's like here
Lucas seems awfully chipper after committing war crimes
>>286566007Even Oscar?
>>286564673>>286564699Futurists are bad parents.
>>286566205>KINO

>>286566205>>286566179This seemd really healthy thanks best dad
Cora? Love
>>286565651And that was the moment Zahid knew he had no chance.>>286565814You guys think he tried pissing right next to one to see if he could get it to turn?
>>286566239Does this imply that if her "Mother" found out that Kayano doesn't want to cooperate anymore that she would just kill her and take her power? Or am i just reading too much into this
>>286566179I hate this faggot so much.Even Poppy with her neetmax grind has endearing moments.
>>286566361Kayano's a sapling candidate, my guess is that if it was revealed that she didn't want to fight anymore they'd graft her into the tower to keep it going.
final arc begins
>>286566361thats probably exactly what she would do, or some other unpleasant methods to force her to, since the taken powers are weaker
Miura? DeadDemi? BitchLucas? RapedGuess Poppy is the best
>>286564976I feel bad for the empire's people. They're fucked on both sides with the possibility of being meteor struck or mind controlled into genocide.
>>286566411Does "Final arc" mean the Manga is nearing it's end or that it's the "Final arc" till we're caught up?
>>286566379Like pottery
>>286566361Considering what Akira did to Lucas with no apparent plan to heal him, I doubt Kayano would be happy if they found out she wasn't useful anymore
>>286566239It weird me out how much he's obviously manipulating her, but then turns around and says stuff that implies he really cares about her. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, considering he's basically the narrative mirror to the Pope.
>>286566482the manga is entering its final saga
>>286566511That's how a lot of abusive parents are
>>286566482A few months ago, the author tweeted something like, "the final battle approaches." I suspect we have many, many more chapters, but we are certainly closing in on the climax.
>>286566239nice fucking atmosphere you got
>>286566482There's only 2-3 chapters until we're caught up to current releases
>>286565277I don't blame Zahid for being scared here. Lucas is frightening.
>>286566445Ah this chapter
>>286566506how he phrases it just sounds too modern
>>286565398>>286565419The more irritated Demi looks, the more I love her.
>>286565398Don't forget that Demi always has a good view of the boys when they're bathing.
What are the popes or to be more specific where does their consciousness come from? They have shape shifting wood bodys so they can't be normal humans but they also don't seem to be futurists or atleast they don't seem to see themselves as futurists
>>286565566>>286565601>bringing up Miura and Poppy as soon as everyone is relaxed and having fun for onceI'm with Zahid. Why is she like this?
What a strange society
>>286566761they are futurists, just relegated to play the 4X game while the others chill as souls in the spire or stay bored in their villagespresumably because they were one step lower on the social ladder (still very high though)
>>286566544What a shame, this would benift for another 2-3 arcs
>>286565398>The only female bath scene is after Poppy left the group. Why live?
>>286565953Tick tock, Poppy. The empire will eventually drag you out of your NEETcave and use you as bait.
>>286565254Anon doesn't stock on baths, right?
>>286567001she has a really cute face
>>286566179>>286566205Kayano, SMILE.Expert parenting.
>>286566361>>286566403Likely. Akira seems almost desperate on those pages. My guess is he got mindbroken by fakeMom, doesn't have any hope to escape and is embracing the madness, while trying to protect Kayano.
>>286565651quality "deer in headlights" panel from Zahid there.
>>286567123Something tells me her wish is going to get granted soon
>>286566847I hate it. TDD. TFD.
>>286567271Hey, that's Gerhart's symbol
>>286565672Yeah, he's got to be the teleport ramus. So that only leaves Mora (Mira?) and face scars with unknown powers
>>286566239This is when I decided Akira is ok. Or at least more normal than before. Shows a new layer to all the "Kayano, smile and enjoy war" stuff.
>>286566179>>286566205That's quality parenting right there.
>>286567466Based autist Haru
>>286565674Are the chapter callbacks in the margins in the raws or are they notes from the TLs?
>>286566511Yeah, it mirrors Pope's talk with Lucas about war heroes and rewards. And the "don't tell mom" thing is Pope and Udo.

Is this popular enough to get an anime
>>286568345and then he was executed
>Thinking that Coura isnt best girl
Any manga similar to this?
>>286568926Snk Lol
>>286568926Depends on what you mean by similar to this. In my opinion what makes it great is the characters, which is something that's hard to replicate.The closest a manga has come to making me feel the same is probably... After God? At least the first 30 chapters or so. But it's very different in most ways.If you want a similar kind of warfare approach, I suppose Kingdom would be worth a try. If you want interesting abilities used creatively then maybe try Centuria. If you want the fantasy-science merge then maybe Touge Oni. But there's nothing else which does everything as well as this (least of all the panelling).
>>286567956>>286567956Fucking deserved. I despise "le quirky not-like-other-girl" bitch like Haru so fucking much. Press S to spit.S
>>286568561Don't think so. And if it ever got an adaptation, you know in your heart it wouldn't be half as good.
>>286565506Demi doesn't look into it
>>286568561Last I heard it was actually struggling in Japan
>low sales>author announced that it's the final arcShueisha probably told them to wrap it up
Reread a little.Nothing changed. Poppy’s stupid-ass betrayal and Lucas dooting that town to death still soured me on the whole manga.
>>286571524Considering this is the first serialised manga from either the artist or author, I'm disappointed but very interested to see what they can do next
>>286567249Stinky girl
>>286566403Oh right, there was the whole thing about the Empire's tower wilting soon. Mom would feed Kayano to the tower and then it would launch meteors instead of houses.
>>286566205Masterful.
>>286569945>>286568926When it comes to paneling and being inspired by capeshit I think Choujin X is actually somewhat similar. The real standout for me in Bugle Call is the character writing, even the side characters feel so fleshed out that they could be the main character in a different story
>>286568050If they're capable of this level of brainwashing, why not start with this rather than do all these silly votes?
>>286568561If every other random ass isekai can get an anime these days, then surely Bugle Call can, right?>>286570154t. druid
>>286573735There's likely some drawback to brainwashing large populations.
>>286574140I have the feeling that the Druids need people to believe willingly into a hivemind so they can influence the world. At least that's my take on it
Making a new thread for chapter 43
>>286567382The new chapter reveals Mira is actually the teleport Ramus' name. So they have a Mira and a Mora at the same time and that's why we got confused.Also, newest chapter is up:>>286574709Obviously spoilerish to everyone reading for the first time.
>>286571694That's the best part of the manga though.
>>286565025Holy fuck, this was a devastating reply. We'll played sir.
>>286565050This is 100% an Elden Ring reference, that helmet has the unalloyed gold crown that Miquella's forces wear, Miquella is a long blond haired femboy with emotional manipulation powers.>>286565452This Coura panel here is definitely top 3 Coura faces. I adore her eyes.>>286565973I love this dialogue. He stopped using music to run away from the horrors of war and will now use music and war to destroy the status quo and make the world a better place.
>>286568561Problem is it really needs good team behind it to fully utilize the writing and author's intent, plus large scale battles would look complete ass with low budget
>>286566787The Empire is literally eddit and I actually love how this story shows issues of our currently society alongside typical dark fantasy woes.
>>286565105Yes >>286565814
>>286566506>it really insists upon itself
All the druid chapters are genius. Like incredible storytelling, the writer has an amazing talent i will read his future works
>>286564573Bump
>>286565358I hate how Demi has never gotten a chapterOscar and Zahid got one but Demi is the best I love her
>>286577327The one where she meets the other slaves
How many volumes are out in Japanland right now?
>>28657756413. Chapter 43 is the latest chapter.
>>286577327She did. Remember when they reach the farm where Demi used to be a serf and she tells the story about her brother? I love Demi too. Demibro solidarity.
>>286567271>>286567326What does it mean in jap languageI guess it's unfinished
>>286577787Just weird cosmic horror stuff. Like she could somehow predict this would happen by praying to this "God stronger than the Druids"
>>286577693>3 days left of the dailyIt's been a fun ride buglebros.
>>286568345Thank you for posting.
Nump
>>286567108Didn't help that Demi was looking into his very soul when she said that
>>286578677Its fine. We'll always be united in our hatred of Poppy.
>>286566179>>286566205Seriously, what broke this faggot? The way he act and his philosophy, if you can even call it that, are really unnatural
>>286581799I don't know, but I'm guessing the empire broke him. The leader wearing his dead wife's face and copying her down to being disabled is pretty fucked up.
>>286581799I mean assuming his ticket out is winning the war, best he can do is keep Kayano from developing attachment since a little girl having the nukes is one bad tantrum away from ruining everything.
>>286581799The leader choosing to look like his wife might have something to do with it. Could also be he is also like the Mirror kingdom's King and is sick of it all but can't quit yet either.
>>286564942Why do you post manga pages in the middle of a storytime?
Killing Poppy would be a mercy. They need to put her to work.
>>286566205what a pained smile...
>>286566561haru a cute
>>286583780Total Poppy 9 to 5 shifts.
You know I've been thinking, Demi's ability is such a logistical jackpot that even if it were diminished it'd still be invaluable as a tool.
>>286583892With her ability she really is the ultimate shelf monkeyHer destiny is the konbini
>>286584005It makes you wonder why she isn't a higher priority for the Empire to take out.
>>286568345after this year's Sora no Woto thread, I remember people talking about how Bugle Call was a similar seriesI think >>286547222 had come out just recently around that time, so I skimmed the chapter to see what the series was about and was somewhat confused, but interested, in these series. Without any context when you started dumping, I thought there would be rival buglers and >>286547222 was Lukas' main enemy, or some kind of evil twin, so it's been been a fun run since thenthanks for these dumps, OP, I've been enjoying them
>>286584005If the empire had any sense they would have focused on taking out Demi after Luca and Zoe. Almost their entire strategy relies on Demi.
>>286584158>>286584322My guess is they're not fully aware of her. Unlike Zoe and Lucas, hers is not a high-profile ability that's immediately noticeable in every battlefield. Though at this point, with Poppy on their side, they should know what every Ramus under the pope is capable of. But they're probably not capable of an assassination attempt themselves, especially since, well, she'd probably see it coming.
Ah yes the Total Coura Victory chapter
>>286586750>>286586783>>286586813Poor girl is having a harder time visualizing the potato.
Total Cora Love
>>286587058Just a bit longer Coranon
>>286587089what's the guy's mistake when naming Zoe in the raws?
>>286587168>>286587188>>286587219>>286587241One of the most depressing parts of the series
>>286586853i don't think lucas is aware of how much of a toll this is taking on zoe
>>286587241ah she is trying to be a big girl for lucas
>>286577787It's not kanji/hiragana/katakana if that's what you meant. It's somewhat similar to the futhark for "f", but more interestingly it looks like Lucas mercenary foster dad's symbol (like >>286567326 said)
>>286587412delete your image
>>286587412..which Luca is also scarred with
>>286587394tsk, doing that while zoe is sleeping right next to them
>>286587456Oh damn, sorry I didn't notice the chapter was still being dumped
>>286587412Mark it as a spoiler if ur going to post in the middle of a dump
>>286586750Living in an irrelevant part of Bongland, it's always weird to see places I know and have visited often in anything. Let alone a manga.

new chapter today
>>286587933allready got a thread
>>286586750>>286586783Ironic that Zoe's growth might limit her overall usefulness as a weapon.
>>286587089Good question, but we all know that soldier wanted the doot high again.
>>286588032Tsun tsun Zahid
>>286588085>CrawleyThis won't be good
Oscar's too loyal for this shit
>>286587619M-MOMMY
How will Zoepedos recover?
>>286588297>>286588318Very interesting set of conversations happening so close to each other.
>>286588449He shrugged that off pretty well.
>>286588374>>286588401Fuck's sake Zahid, what kinda shitty luck is this??
>>286588449>>286588475Now I see why pontiff specifically chose these two for this mission.
>>286583892>>286583780That would be the actual best punishment for her, force her to work without her powers and amenities from the future
>>286588634Would be the most fitting end for Poppy>Lucas destroys the empire and sends the druids packing>somehow Poppy escapes the fallout>no more future tech>no more amenities>Poppy is stuck in some backwater fief with no powers and forced to do hard physical labor for a living>her fellow serfs are all Demis Suffer, Poppy.
>>286588726Demi occasionally watching her from afar, showing Luca how much she is suffering while eating popcorn.
>>286588348The first time I read this I didn't catch that the breeze was directly caused by Zahid's branch activating.
>>286588578CAM ON ZAHIDMAK SOM FACKIN LUCK
>>286588006Big fan of the "I'm immortal" running joke
>>286589298Lucas did NOTHING wrong. Truly avenging Eren.
>>286588777well with all the towers gone demi would also lose her powers
>>286589338Good point. They will just need to pull up a chair and watch up close then while eating popcorn.
>>286589447Cute!He can fix her.
>>286589447Glad these two got a relatively happy ending
>>286589571>relatively happy endingThey have to work, every day, just to survive. You're out of your mind if you think that there's anything happy about that.
>>286589447Yes, all hope is not lost. I can't believe I'm saying I'm so happy to read this page. The writer has gotten me too attached to these characters even one-offs.
>>286589571For now
>>286589675Everyone has to work in their era and they aren't being made to work for profit, just for their own survival
>>286589675Relatively. Their other options were death by doot, death by meteor or druid indoctrination (which they narrowly avoided). Peasant work hardly seems like the worst outcome.
>>286589716>Everyone has to work in their eraSome people wouldn't have had to work if it weren't for their awful parents and some asshole with a trumpet.
>>286589769The fuck? They were already helping before Lucas came around
>>286589675>They have to work, every day, just to survive. You're out of your mind if you think that there's anything happy about that.That's the standard for the times, and most of human existence. Some of you anons sound too much like Poppy.
>>286587530So Akira & Kayano are not the only ones with japanese names.Thought it may have been Akira's decision on naming her so that weird peculiarity would always tie back to him.
>>286589675Day of Employment soon, Poppy.
>>286566179>>286566205KINO

damn i missed the >you think so too, right, miura?page reactions. never expected this manga to be THAT good
>>286589675That's normal Poppy
>>286589483Hah, they're basically producing highly polarized cultures, the opposite of the intended goal.
>>286589447I want to see their kids.

>>286589675AAAAAIIIIIEE MY WORST FEARDOPAMINE AND PROGRESS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFEHOW HUMANS COULD EVER BE HAPPY DOING THE NATURAL BEHAVIORS OF HUMANS (working, every day, just to survive)

>>286588601>Mommyfag Yuri vs. Childhood friend Yaoi
>>286588601Thank you for posting.
>>286587525Anon, he smiled at the beginning of the chapter. >>286586830
lets end this today, new chapter is up so beat it>>286574709
>>286567271That's the girl Lucas saved in chapter 1.It's no wonder she's drawing the symbol of Gerhart's mercenary group, considering the only other town she knew was destroyed by them.Her antisocial behavior is certainly due to trauma.
>>286587841How did Akira end up being the normal one?
>>286592664Not certain they're the sameLogistically, Lucas was probably in southern france/northern italy (possibly more towards tyrolia) at the time and the girl doesn't look that similar.
>>286588297>we need to stay undetected>which is why I'll wear the copyrighted Empire Ramus hood
>>286592868This page always makes me giggle
>>286592868lol
>>286592891He summoned a kid with his luck to get away. How very weird.
>>286593001The weird thing about Zahid's power is that it's the only one that's "passive," so to speak. Like, he can't control it, it just happens.
>>286593005>>286593039This is going to lead to a lot of bloodshed.
>>286592912>Woman who likes to act younger than her age and obsessed with being a good mommy's girl>Power revolves around making things repeat their past actionsPretty cool way of hinting at some deeper character traits without spelling anything out.
>>286593070That is so fucking cool, I've never seen the rotation of the Earth used like this before.
>>286593357RIP
>>286593070Fuck, every single power is used so excellently in this manga. Is there anything which does it half as well as this? Genuinely?What gets me is how they all seem so basic on a surface level. Zoe doesn't have super strength, it's a kind of chrono-displacement. The Mirror Ramus weaponised portals to create unstoppable blades. Now there's a better version of Poppy's telekinesis used to weaponise the rotation of the earth.The only powers which aren't interesting or used in an interesting way are the joke Ramus or Zahid. Not that I'll spoil, but even Oscar gets his moment.
>>286592711Being constantly headshotted must be disorienting as hell.
>>286565833Demi and Lucas are piss pals.
>>286592868Permission to stab DENIED.
>Oscar's flowering hard counters herSorry lass, try again next time
>>286593434That is one hell of a return.
>>286593545>>286593561Crazy Diamond, bitch.
>>286593651His luck has spread to his friends now.
>>286593444I like Zahid's power from a character perspective since it reflects his personality pretty well - he's a bit of an irresponsible flake but whenever shit hits the fan he always pulls through. His power also seems unreliable and selfish but almost every time it triggers it does benefit him first but then just somehow happens to help everyone he cares about at the same time. The only time it actually kicks in unambiguously for someone else's sake is when Zahid gives up at trying to survive and sacrifices himself for Oscar.>>286592654The way this page plays out I wonder if it's a hint at what Zahid's power actually is cause it looks like the girl completely forgot about Zahid getting domed in front of her the moment his power activated.
Okay shehasd a good power output but she wasn't mirror sword or Zoe levelmore around Udo and Karl
>>286593357RIP, man. The worst part about dying within the empire's tower besides dying itself is that the empire will swipe Zahid's ability for themselves.
>>286593696>Zahidfuck I mean Oscar
>>286593434OH FUCK HE'S FLOWERED! WE'RE STILL IN THIS!!
>>286593782Oscar smiling is pretty heartwarming to see.
>>286593782What emotion is this supposed to be?
>>286593853Looks like relief to me
>>286593700Yaoisisters won.
>>286593782Considering the other Bump of Chicken chapter title reference, I think the title of this chapter is another one. If anywhere, it probably goes here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpVdSxlKhFY
>>286588511Zahid can't control when or how his "luck" activates, but it seems to respond to his emotions (Zahid believes something like this, at least). Right before his branch activated, he was frustrated at Oscar for ignoring his warnings about getting in over their heads. I wonder if his power may have activated to force such an overwhelming encounter on Oscar.As extreme as that might be, it was also a form of luck for the Papal forces. If Kathryn had succeeded in her surprise attack, she easily could have wiped out the entire fort in an instant, crushing everyone inside.
>>286593903>>286593934Vros...
>>286593903They're so happy.
say good bye to them, the storytime is over. We caught up with the current chapterWish for the best, that the manga lands its ending well>>286574709new chapter already dumped herebye bye
>>286593980Thanks for the story time OP. It was a lot of fun.

>>286593980I was so ready for something terrible to happen to them at the last moment, glad it didn't. Thanks for the storytime, OP.

>>286592696>>286592711This is just like that scene in John Wick isn't it
>>286593980Thanks, OP. This was really fun.
I'm glad I gave this another chance after I stopped reading during the chapter with the future/time travel reveal.It's an outstanding series.Thanks OP.
>>286593980Thank you very much. See you all for future chapters.>>286593696>The only time it actually kicks in unambiguously for someone else's sake is when Zahid gives up at trying to survive and sacrifices himself for Oscar.I've always taken this as his power still being 'selfish', in the sense that Oscar is sincerely priority #1 for him. Like, if something has to go well but for only one person, it's not even a question of him wanting it to be Oscar, he doesn't even need to consider it. Alongside what you've already said, he's a bit of a sleazebag that constantly admits to that, but only acknowledged that near-instantaneous drive to sacrifice himself/protect Oscar as anything noble until his death*, gotta love irresponsible but ultimately decent guys. Kinda funny that the dude that we see consider deserting the most was more loyal than a scorned NEET.
>>286567695Feels really comic book-y.
>>286592983That's just a pocket pussy.
