Tan Teen Oni Waifu, episode 7

This village is really going to the dogs. In a good way, at least for Our Loyal Sidekick, who doesn’t make it through “hello” before falling for Our Cute Canine Guide Gal. Fortunately, seeing him treat her charges as equals is enough to melt her heart, so there shouldn’t be any problems with this second interspecies relationship.

All is not simply slow-life in the middle of nowhere, however, as the plot once again raises its ugly head, in the person of the less-inept-than-you’d-expect fallen noble who’s been behind pretty much everything so far. This time, he’s persuaded Evil Princess to swipe power and authority to make another invasion attempt.

Fortunately, there’s a Good Prince, as well, and he tries to stop the mess before it gets out of hand. Next week, war!

Verdict: the sooner we’re past this conflict, the sooner we never see Princess Diane again. With luck, that’ll also be the end of The Gelded Noble, who kind of ruins any scene he’s in.

(no fan-art, as usual, so I had to gen up a cute white-haired doggy gal; not easy, since Krea2 tends to really go for breeds with long muzzles)

10 Years A Harem Lord, episode 7

I’ll give the show credit for one thing: the thugs terrorizing Our New Loli Housekeeper might want to sell her into slavery, but just as a general worker, not an underage sex slave; other shows tend to be less “wholesome”.

Anyway, apart from finding a loli and patching up a hole, things move pretty slowly this week, but end with the promise of a fight and a new maiden to rescue from shadowy villains.

Verdict: “hey, let’s leave the runaway loli out on a street corner, with a guard dog who’s kinda vague on the concept, so we can get her kidnapped again.” Also, still waiting on a definitive answer on Our Chicken Holder’s gender; s/he gets some very pretty closeup shots this week, but the subtitles using “he” are an interpretation, not a reflection of the Japanese dialogue, unless I missed a line.

(I may have to knock together a prompt for Our Devoted Wolf Girl, but meanwhile, here’s another cute doggie)

Gate novels finally available in translation

It took Amazon five months to inform me about a release from an author I follow, and only after the second book was released. Sigh.

Also Amazon

I am actually more surprised that Amazon delivered my latest order on the day promised than I would be if it were late. That’s how bad their logistics have been for me recently.
