This is awesome. Thanks for dropping this.

Six chapters, actually. Sixth just got uploaded today.

>>54808207
Just read the new chapter today and hilariously enough I thought it felt just like a dungeon fantasy campaign. This and dungeon Meshi have a very RPG feel to how things work without being gamey which I really appreciate

Tell me about it. I'm so sick of picking up a fantasy manga and characters and monsters having stats and shit.

Crikies. That was a sudden shift in tone.

Yeah, there are a couple more incoming. This is the big one, though.

>>54808325
Thought about it and a better way to phrase what I mean although I think it still carries through is; "This is a proper fantasy without the 'gamey' feel of current fantasy manga". Perhaps it's no coincidence that the more fantastic manga stories I see are aimed at the seinen demographic. But the feel of stories like these and the attention to worldbuilding and organic uses of fantasy elements is welcomed.

>>54809005
I like this aspect of the world. Justifies the presence of a magic guild right away.

Done with Chapter 1!
And it only took... well, two fucking hours.
Why did I decide to do this?

Thanks for introducing this series to me.
Every so often, I wonder why I bother browsing /tg/ anymore, and it's discoveries like this that make it worthwhile.

>>54809168
I've just noticed in my readings that the stories that have better world building and more consistent internal logic that isn't dependent on crutches like making it about video game logic have been in the Seinen demographic. Off the top of my head; Dungeon Meshi, Witch Hat Atelier, Alice in Borderlands, Gate - Thus the JSDF fought there (it's not great in the beginning but picks up several volumes in), Totsukuni no Shoujo.

Shounen series I can remember that equally consistent structures and no 'gamey' nature are things like: The Ancient Magus Bride. Youkai Apato no Yuuga na Nichijou, Birdmen, and of course Fullmetal Alchemist.

But what I've noticed is that even though I have equal lists for both Seinen and Shounen aimed stories, once I start to look at any bookmarks or lists of other series I'm reading/watching I find that the majority of the ones that fall into the realm of vastly inconsistent settings, tacked on magic systems, RPG logic, etc; they are mostly shounen.

Nothing against the age demographic because it's not like that stopped anyone from writing a good story before, but I've just noticed this for the last couple years as I've kept up binge reading manga.

>>54809514
It's just the current bandwagon due to the huge success of Sword Art Online and stuff like Overworld. Lots of imitators.

The issue here, I think, is that seinen is usually on its own merits. It's all about the manga itself and the way to make it successful is just to make it really damn good.

Shounen tends to have a lot of commercial concerns behind it. Games and dolls and clothes and shit and that can lead the authors to make some shitty decisions, profitable as they might turn out to be.

The SAO bandwagon is just a continuation of the .Hack bandwagon from the early 2000's. All they did was update the MMO references and game terminology.

This applies to the monthly Shounen I see as well. Outside of FMA not many of them reach the same level of commercial success that weekly products do. Which isn't a bad thing in my book since it means not having to watch your series get a premature animated adaptation that either fails to capture the aesthetics of the series, and/or goes the anime-original ending route.

Well, the girls were witches before they were Quifrey's disciples, they can take care of themselves. But really he should have known how Agete would react to Coco.

This is really cute. Is it online elsewhere, or are you scanning it yourself?

Off the top of my head those runes look different than the ones on the professor's shoes...

>>54809928

w-why witch-sama is so sexy wet?

>>54817007
His is a ring of pure pillar runes around the float/wind rune. Hers also has some weird triangle runes and arrow runes with the pillars.
My guess is his are more for rapid speed rather than her more delicate ones.

>>54817319
Er, keystones for most of those instead of runes. Forgot the terminology.

>>54810338
They poop into outerspace?
