I'm not against this but Diadora is still mah presh waifu Dx ...but I'll share her, she's got some good dedicated men. Zigludo for the first half of Volume 9. Do it. THEN SERLIS.

Thanks for informing us~! Yeah, sometimes things can slip up while in the process of going through a chapter. We're trying to stick to one rendition of a name for each character as much as possible despite what we prefer to use; we also do this to avoid inconsistent flip-flopping between spellings every few pages (Eltshan/Elt vs Eltoshan/Elto). We'll fix it once we get the free time to. We intend to use Altenna for the entirety of the manga. ^=^/

I think it's safe to say some of us were/are burnt out from the convention rather than the manga for a while. :P if anything, we'll be feeling the burn out from being hyped to get these chapters done! Who doesn't love-hate the Chapter 5 stuff? Let's be real here. All of us are gonna have one hell of a field trip with it.

We do get some sort of in-game cue with Yuria saying he used to be a sweet boy 9 years prior to the game. Then you have the beta notes (or rumored? There were two different lists on the site) having plotted out the whole Part III with Yurius "being saved by Yuria's love". Sometimes the original intention can show its true colors, though y'know, some things might've changed during the process but I'd say it still held some truth to it if the above was inserted in the game in the final version. This manga showed him to be more humane and not entirely 'straight up ebilz for funz!1' possessed villain that is a young teenager. I mean when you think about how a couple of the holy weapons could overtake the caster's personalities (and twist them in the Lopt tome's case), then it's certainly possible the Yurius we see isn't wholly the same as to how he was originally before Manfloy decided it was time to be a dick and rip the family apart he so carefully 'made' himself |D.

I still laugh at Nintendo Power's screenshot choice about the lover convo bit on the last page. :P
