Only reference of note I could find was to ใƒ‰ใƒฉใˆใ‚‚ใ‚“, which I assume everyone is familiar with.
I also tried to google the name of the horse, just in case, but that only brought images of this series.

In terms of plot,
Iโ€™m getting really curious about the magic. If Yuuri truly has as much magic as they say he does, surely he should be able to do something (soonish at least). Thereโ€™s also the possibility that magic, while being a thing, is extremely weakโ€ฆ but then there would be no explanation for the flying skeletons (or the dragons mentioned last week).
By the way, Yuuriโ€™s โ€œquestโ€ is to eradicate all humans, but that canโ€™t really be the case, since the country accepts human refugees. I guess itโ€™s more something like defeating the human kingdom, in practice?

In terms of BL, not much so far. I guess the scene where they have to sleep packed next to each other kinda count, but the main character was mostly annoyed about it rather than having the ใƒ‰ใ‚ญใƒ‰ใ‚ญs like I usually see in BL light novels :thinking:

I was wondering why it was so quiet on the main thread and only just now noticed it was divided to week threads :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

edit: on the 1st week I voted in the poll so I did notice and deleted from memory :sweat_smile:

I also think that the celebration period is crushing our numbers (maybe).

I thought I was gonna be the only one to get that ref this time :sob: :sob:

Anyway, looks like weโ€™re making some progress and almost made it to the capital city. Would definitely like to see some more BL content soon. This bit was definitely sarcastic:

Reading this makes me want to rewatch the anime. So nostalgic. :face_holding_back_tears:

But to those who are hoping for full blown BL - the anime had hints here and there, but I would not expect big love confessions and PDA.

Week 3 done; in slowly catching up. With any luck I can catch up this week instead of next as originally planned.

I couldnโ€™t remember if the girl giving him water was an honest assassination attempt or not, so it was nice to have just that tiny moment of tension as I read. Looking forward to him getting to the castle. Ugh, I bet the previous ้ญ”็Ž‹โ€™s speech patterns are going to be really relaxed as well. @.@

Iโ€™m really wanting to re-read the manga, especially since I got the first few cheap on Kindleโ€ฆ

Yep; what I remember of the series is definitely more vibes-based.

I looked it up and apparently neither the novel nor the manga got ever fully finished. :sob:

Really? I thought I read that the manga did end.

I read the manga caught up with the LN and ended there, but since the LN never finished, itโ€™s not an actual ending. :sob:

I read somewhere that the manga kept going until an (original) end, thus diverging from the LN.

Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™ve heard as well. Now Iโ€™m really curiousโ€ฆ :eyes:
