What a cliffhanger ladies and gentlemen! Sadism! Pure authorial sadism!

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Not much different from last chapter's cliffhanger, to be honest.

I feel we are not talking about the same thing. I've just read chapter 116. You?

Handle, you have this bad habit of just posting things in an exaggerated fashion without elaborating on them. What bothers you about that page?

These drawings and technical innovations are several centuries ahead of their time. This comic has a lot of exaggerated stuff that stretches Willing Suspension of Disbelief, but remains acceptable in the context of a historical drama.

But her atelier shows plenty of inventions from the XV Ith century at least, and, economically speaking, the small community she works in could not possibly support all of these gadgets. It's both an Anachronism Stew and a display of excessive wealth.

Also, that one person could come up with all these things on her own without being locally part of a creative environment of scientists and engineers collaborating and competing is tremendously improbable.

So, yeah, my Willing Suspension of Disbelief, and my immersion, were tremendously hurt.

EDIT: And now my feelings are hurt. So very hurt. Worst part is, Thorfinn was trying his best to be as non-malevolent as possible, in his super-Tsundere way. But, given how he was completely absorbed in his revenge fantasy...

Ah, Askeladd, what've you done...

Well, I mean, I expected things to turn out the way they did, but the execution caught me by surprise and made me tear up. This requires music appropriate to when the noble dead come back to stop you from making a grievous mistake, in an absolute moment of heartwarming badassery:

Well played, Yukimura-sensei. Well played.

NEW CHAPTER.

And lookee lookee, its a coincidental intersection of old acquaintances. I think all we're missing is Thorkell here.

Chapter 127 just got posted today~!

Turns out the Jomsvikings are experiencing a leadership squabble, and Floki is apparently trying to drum up support... For his grandson, who's 10, and as such is too young to even join the order, much less lead it. Then OF COURSE Thorkell pushes for Thorfinn to try his hand at leading the Jomsvikings (since he has the lineage to do so), Thorfinn says nope, walks off, but Floki has other ideas, and sends two ships in pursuit of Thorfinn's little band of friends.

Really, moe Thorkell was the highlight of the chapter, but with that cliffhanger, how long can Thorfinn REALLY remain totally pacifistic, rather than just a Technical Pacifist?

Page 13, chapter 127.

They have a succession crisis at the Jomsvikings due to lack of candidates of appropriate age and prestige.

Ahem.

I'm just staring vacantly into space while a distant voice in the back of my head goes, "Oh, shit!" like a car alarm in the middle of the night.

Well now, The Call Knows Where You Live Thorfinn. I kind of figured that he wouldn't be able to weasel his way out of the Jomsviking succession crisis.

Attack on Titan, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, and most recently The Ancient Magus' Bride and After the Rain. So, nothing to scoff at.

Started reading this. I'm at chapter 9 so far. I think its got a very intriguing couple of characters. I like the scenes with Askellad, he's just so interesting.
