hey, this lad is alright
stands up for his transhuman monster bride and isn't afraid of anything

>>280898992

>>280898888
why are there so many monster fuckers in this setting

>>280898941
oh

>>280899020

>>280899056

>>280899080

>>280899080
Churafi was right????

>>280899117

>>280899117
So are all necomancers girls? Even the big one we saw at the top of the tower?

>>280899145

>>280899020
>>280899056
i love nihei speedrunning the misunderstanding phase of the plot

>>280899171
This king guy seemed alright.

>necromancers can just steal bodies
kinda hot
now i want a necromancer gf too

>>280899020
>>280899056
Lmao everyone is the call while she trauma dumps.
>>280899163
Maybe they simply change the body to their bio/original sex with time, but they still need a male and female necromancer to make a new one, instead of a simple Necromite.
Only Nihei knows.

>>280899251

>>280899259

>>280899468

>>280899495

Phew... I won't need to pay $20 bucks to my friend. We made a bet on if Aridellia was in love with the king or not. Thank you Nihei

Our [butt naked] heroine.

>>280899020
Kino panel.

>>280899056
So that was a century ago. But the drakmetamor corpse she infested must be much older.

>>280899080
Lmao, she can just leave the body? I thought she's like fused on a DNA level. But I guess it's like a humanoid mech to her.

>>280899117
Fucking gay frogs, I mean necromancers

>>280899145
King was looking for that monster pussy.

>>280899171
Ah, so that's the cover of the previous chapter.

>>280899230
Our brainlet hero.

>No TD till the end of September
Why did I have to find this as it was ongoing

>>280899251
'Raffi a cute

>>280899543
These guys are fucking huge, they're like 12' tall but they're comparatively normal in relation to the door behind them. If the servant doors are small and human sized, I'm guessing the actual residents or original people of the tower are just huge.

>>280899287
Wowa, is that a pantsu revealing armor?

>>280899312
I'm glad they're addressing that.

>>280899287
Do you think Yuva or Yuva's sister burned the helmet?
>>280899449
>>280899468
Imagine being Lillisen and getting cucked by every species

>>280899343
my sides

>>280899343
Lmao at Churafi faces

>>280899543
>>280899557
Am I the only one who feels weird seeing safeguards talk?
>>280899587
Safeguards kill silicon life though.

I like how Krogi is officially part of the Neo Squad 7.

>>280900141
The head marking makes them feel so uncanny to me. I know It's just am easter egg (at least i hope so), but it makes my brain try to connect the City to the world of TD.
>"Why are safeguards on a medieval fantasy world!?"

>>280899449
Comfy.

>>280899468
Woah, wasn't expecting the whatever-Pizza-Noel to become prominent this fast

>>280899495
Lilisen on thought patrol

>>280899343
The KusoyaroMancer.

>>280899495
>Hyper-Mythic age
Is that where the real Aridellia was from?

>>280899543
ENTER Toha knights

>>280899557
To be fair, with the group we have right now, these guys are not really a threat

>>280898966
What a bunch of dumbasses. Those buildings back then were tinderboxes. The fire could spread everywhere. I feel bad for the serfs, but again it was inevitable with idiots like that in charge.

>>280899343
>>280900306
Anyone have the raws? I really hope it really is the kusoyaromancer

>>280900500
It's "あのクソ術士", basically "that-shit-mancer".

>>280900581
awww. Well thanks anyway. That's funny too.

>>280899557
Thanks for the dump!
>Break next month
I'll wait, Nihei deserves some rest. Summer heat is a bitch in Japan.

>>280899557
Thanks for the dump. What a feelgood chapter! This won't end well...

Whoops, upper comment meant for >>280899287

Updated the character chart.

>>280899423
"there and back again"

Great Chapter I must say, Nihei's great at cutting the chaff in these chapters too they always feel substantial without being detrimental in the character writing.

>>280899251
Cute page

>>280899468
>>280899495
Uh, oh, someone's jealous!

>>280899080
Shame she had to leave the old body behind. She looks lovely in that first panel.

>>280899117
Based Iscale. Not only is he versed in the secret art of going commando, but he's also educated in all kinds of fetishes. And based Eliquo. He gets it.

>>280901194
I wonder if the old body is plot relevant

>>280899117
>Mind Control
>Monster Girl
>Tomboy
>Gender Bender

Any other fetishes Aridellia covers?

>>280901242
Knowing Nihei, it likely is. It's such a great design to begin with.

>>280899117
Femboyification!?

>>280899251
>>280899423
Behold, our heroes!
I love this manga. Please Nihei, don't fuck this up. And for the love of god, try to get a decent animation studio this time around.

>>280899557
Love this manga breaks suck!

>>280899398
Minsaber! Gotta love how she takes it all in stride. Also, kek at the reactions of her lieutenants in the background.

>>280899557
>>280899543
IIRC, the first time party encountered these knights, they talked unintelligibly. Now their parlance is clear. What changed?

Eliquo has some massive regular guy death flags with a crew this big

>>280901580
They started using Yuva's royal blood to open and close doors?

>>280898966
Kek based schizo superstition old man.

>>280899468
I'm still impressed how much better Nihei became at drawing bodies. That trailing leg with her on toes as she leans forward. Those entangled hands. That mind vision thing does things for me. Aridellia is cuteness and eroticism in one neat package.

>>280899495
Angry/jealous Lilisen is the gift that keeps on giving. Also, nice way to bring that blue thingamajingy back into the conversation, especially after getting namedropped with no context in her background story.

>>280899020
ToT
I agree with the mouse.

>>280901625
>Death flags
Nihei doesn't kill named characters very often and this manga is too chill for that. I'm certain noone in this team will die.

>>280901645
I mean, are the knights talking differently now, using more modern language for example? Or did some procedures performed by Yuva&co made them understand whatever language knights use?

I really like how Nihei used these few last chapters to introduce a conflict, tell aridella's story, immediately show how irrelevant the conflict is and make the party even tighter and stronger

>>280898941
Shot his own son in the head? At that age? The dad must have other sons for heirs.

>>280901750
I blame telepathy with the rock fairy.

>>280899117

>>280901800
you don't go easy on necromancers

>>280899117
...w-why are Sargan and Krogi looking at me

>>280901800
Speedreader-kun the dad was trying to get his son killed.

What happened to Aridellia tho? She's from the hyper-mythic age and owned the Azza-Lugh-Novael.

>>280901800
IIRC, last chapter explained that he wanted his children with second wife to be hairs, and thus sent his son from first wife on dangerous missions under guise of accruing honour.

>>280899145
Laios.....

>>280899557
Thanks for the dump! Great chapter all around and a nice finish for Aridellia's backstory reveal arc.

Interesting that we can understand the language of those fantasy safeguards this time around. I wonder if they can be reasoned with, or if they also lack the drive for polite conversation like their counterparts in Blame do.

>>280901897
Aridellia has nice hips and ass don't say you wouldn't

>>280899312
Why don't they want to say the N word?

>>280901868
Wait, you don't think she became the piece-of-shit-mancer? Since he's looking for the orb.

>>280901970
They don't want to offend their new larvae birthing friend

>>280899312
Sargan got a laugh out of the silent Gessi. Sargan the strongest.

>>280899145
>>280899171
The monsterfucker king seems to be a pretty swell guy from what we've seen so far.

>>280901851
>you seein this shit?

>>280899398
I knew princess Pubeserbel was a reasonable one. If I could I would definitely abduct and wife her.

The best character in this chapter was Churafi.

Cute!

>>280902150
*every

>>280902071
I love good guy dead characters

>>280899495
I'm tired of this slut's constant cockblockings, Yuva should throw a brick to her head and reset her.

Yuva can't catch a break with these women

>>280902152

>>280899543
A boss fight with no rest time? Re-balance patch pls

>>280901868
>She's from the hyper-mythic age and owned the Azza-Lugh-Novael
Not Aridellia, the Drakmetamor corpse she took over.

>>280899557
> break month

I’ll allow it since this was a really meaty chapter and the english physical release just kicked off.

>Break next month.
You can't DO this to me...

>>280899171
King in a "fuck or not fuck" dilemma.
>He stopped visiting at all lately
He ditched her and went for other monster women

>>280901970
Because they don't want to be racists towards Aridellia. And now with two necromancers in the general vicinity, you need to specify who is who.

>>280901788
Yeah, the pacing feels great for something that only comes out once a month. I wonder how long Nihei wants this story to be. The main party is basically established now. I can see it both going pretty straightforward and ending in another volume or two, but I could just as easily see this go on for longer, if Nihei chooses to introduce more involved parties and secondary goals.

>>280899117
They told me genderbending necromancers weren't real....

>>280899287

>>280898888
I wonder if the poison that makes necromancers larvae-incontinent will come up again

>>280901970
Cause Aridellia is one of the good N words

Right guys...?

A pretty emotive chapter for Gessi.

>>280901580

>>280899163
>So are all necomancers girls? Even the big one we saw at the top of the tower?
>we now know the necromancer has feminized the king's body
All necromancers are girls, but that doesn't mean that they're pretty girls.

>Break
God fucking dammit.

>>280899312
pretty sensitive for Lilisen

Is this the first souls-like in manga?

>>280899495
Lilisen: I can't be cucked if I constantly patrol his thoughts!

>>280899343
Lilisen is really on Aridellia's side now

>>280899056
Lilisen is surprisingly nice to mouse girl.

Lilisen

>>280899557
Thanks OP, that's a helluva sweet ENTER

>>280904242
owes me sex

>>280899171
The King's pose made me chuckle and I didn't know why then it hit me.
It's funny how much we're driven to like the King when I'm not sure we've even had a proper flashback of him actually talking at all. Just inferences on the kind of person he was based on what other people say about him and some mostly voiceless flashbacks.

>>280899557
if yuva has the net termin- sorry I mean royal blood, shouldn't these guys be subservient to him?

>>280899163
>>280903989
They could be, it makes sense. Scientifically speaking female just means the biological sex capable of producing offspring (simplified) and we've already been made well aware that the big bad necromancer has produced many such larvae. The question would be: what form do the males take? In setups like this, usually the males are relatively short lived and basically only exist to fertilize the eggs. Necromancers could be similar to ants.

>>280904211
Lilisen can relate to a maiden in love. Or, well, formerly in love.

>>280904350
Doesn't look like it, otherwise the first gatekeeper would have recognized that.

>>280898941
What the fuck

>>280899423
I love them all so much

>>280904792
Going to be really sad if Krogi dies

>>280904666
They wanted him dead anyway, this was a good excuse

>>280899468
...why did she interlock her fingers with his?

>>280904990
She's a slut who only knows to seduce men. Lilisen should have scorched her right then and there

>>280899117
That's a man

>>280899171
>>280899117
Guys, I think I finally figured out the king's master plan. He was never overwhelmed and captured by the piece-of-shit-o-mancer. He let himself be taken. It's all so he can turn his body into a woman's! All hail the monsterfucker, king of kinks!

>>280899557
Cool and creepy design

>It's another would you love me if i was a worm manga
sasuga thank you Nihei

>>280899423
Look how happy Gessi is.

>>280900841
Princess Igneria is pure sex

>>280902253
Based rat

>>280903420
This manga really feels like a french comic

>>280904990
Going by the change in art, probably initiating the shared mindspace/netsphere thing.

>>280902635
>He ditched her and went for other monster women
He stopped because he died, bro. The king would never ditch any girl in the monster harem.

>>280901859
maybe hes not a speedreader but a speedforgetter. Fuck monthly releases seriously

>>280898750 (OP)
The safety protocols regarding guard rails for buildings in this world could give Star Wars architects a run for their money.

>>280905670
>medieval
>safety protocols
zoomerinos...

>>280899287
I wonder what could have done that... any ideas Lilisen?

>>280899495
She should just accept she is at the bottom for the harem

>>280899117
I love my retarded mouse wife like you wouldn't believe it.

>>280900120
>Do you think Yuva or Yuva's sister burned the helmet?
Lillisen did it back in chapter 2 when she was being bipolar.

>>280905705
>medieval
It's clearly a dying sun manga

>>280899423
>KOO—KAH—KAW! GRRRR! KAAAW!
I see... I see...

>>280901405
*lick*

>>280906013
Imagine her cleaning your teeth

>>280899117
Has Churafi mentioned her misunderstanding to anyone else yet? I checked the previous couple chapters and didn't see anything about it. I kinda would have expected her to go from "Aridellia is secretly a man," to "Aridellia is a necromancer, who is secretly a man."

>>280901405
This is the only time I'm with pubefags on this one.

>>280898941
Holy, I knew he wanted to get rid of him but that was quick

>>280906346
Anon, everyone knows about Aridellia

>all this was just to establish the team
I guess manga starts now.

>>280906621
Pretty good start

Pantsu and garterbelt!
Pantsu and garterbelt!!

>>280906553
You misunderstand me. I know Churafi know's Aridellia is a necromancer. However, before this panel, I don't think she mentioned to anyone that she thought Aridellia was a man.

>>280900841
>>280900581
You should change the name to kuso-mancer

>>280906933
I did.

>>280899251
What a wholesome, supportive family.

>>280899117
Vindicated.

>>280899374
Cute protective princess

>>280907013
Transphobe

It's weird suddenly having Aridellia be so prominent in the story, when just a little while ago she was no more than a background character. I wonder if Ryxul and Gessi will also get their time to shine.

>>280899343
This better be a running theme throughout the rest of the manga. Nihei needs to keep using this name through to the very end.

>>280899398
I like how they all went along with the name.

>>280899287
>besides her doublet and underwear she doesn't wear anything else underneath
Imagine the smell
>>280906869
Plate armor is very sexy

Alright, this really is the new /tg/ series to replace Dungeon Meshi.

>>280907061
Maybe, but I doubt it. I think I've said as much before, but Ryxal and Gessi seem like extension of Iscale and Churafi's characters. It really just takes a while to establish this many characters. Aridellia has unique narrative importance by fleshing out such a weird race and providing an alternate perspective of them.

>>280907453
>but Ryxal and Gessi seem like extension of Iscale and Churafi's character
They haven't done anything and aren't really needed on the surface, unless there is some point to them.

I guess in the end they truly were the Tower Dungeon squad

>>280907533
What about my boy Eriquo?

>>280907595
>What about my boy Eriquo?

>>280899287
>Getting rid of the iconic hole
Damn

>>280907533
They provide combat utility, and they answer the question, "what is the nobleman doing out here without retainers?" In a power-of-money sense, you can treat them as another weapon in their masters' arsenals.

>>280907595
He's one of the OGs

>>280899353
kek

>>280907734
>They provide combat utility
Barely if at all. What combat utility can a rat and some lanky motherfucker provide.

>>280899374
This is a good page to remember their names.

>>280907013
It's a strange situation, but it does seem as though the body has been heavily modified (perhaps including completely changing the sex). Regardless, given that the body is just a flesh puppet and the real Aridellia is the little wormlike spider creature, this really doesn't change much.

>>280899374
>:<

>>280907821
Pointman and rear-guard, apparently.
And before you claim zombies are useless fodder and don't count, the anti-nausea team hasn't encounter that many really deadly monsters, and Gessi tanked the golem (as much as I am loath to resort to vidya terminology).

>>280899557
Look at these Blame faces

>>280899557

i swear if anything happens to churafi I SWEAR NIHEI

>>280908601
Losing her ability to speak

>>280907821
Gessi is jacked as fuck my man. Ryxal does all of Iscale's fighting.

>>280899117

APOLOGIZE

>>280908748
She's not there is no bulge

>>280908691
>Gessi is jacked as fuck my man
For a rat.
>Ryxal does all of Iscale's fighting
Considering Iscale doesn't fight at all, that's not a high bar.

>>280908863
Iscale strong!

>>280909122

>>280909154
He knows he's weak and still put himself in danger for his friends. Really brave

>>280908642
Losing her ability to squeak.

>>280909359

>>280908642
>Losing her ability to speak
>>280909359
Anything but that for /ourmouse/. You're giving me Narnia flashbacks.

>>280908863
That's why we need Ryxal. Without him, Iscale would be defenseless. In that regard, he's at risk of being killed off now that Iscale has eight other bodyguards now.

>>280904666
That was so fucked up that even Satan is shocked

>>280909844
Minsaber needs to give an heir for the kingdom since the princess is necrogoo. Rydeus has a chance!

That's gonna be Yuva and his harem.

>>280909928
Can't wait for the necromancer to go from, "Do you expect your crude jests to perturb me?" to "Stop calling me that!"

>>280910176
Do it for her

>>280910130
Yuva is exclusively for Lilisen

Man sure is great how we got to know like and care for all these characters. Sure would suck if things started happening to them.

I have started and caught up with this manga on this evening, and I just want to say, if anything bad happens to this mouse I will kill everyone in Nihei's threads and then myself

>>280910483
so you'll be really cheesed off

Cozy af. Except for the vertigo stairs.

I love it when this happens in a manga that isn't solely romance focused.

They changing the way they refer the Necromancer to no not hurt Aridella's feeling is really cute.

A good chapter, maybe my favorite. A little bit of feaky fetishes some sutpid jokes and a little bit of wholesome.

This is my first Nihei manga, is this a common mix on his series or something exclusive of TD?

>>280912065
All the other women unnerve Yuva in some way to the point he freezes up like a deer in headlights. Meanwhile Lilisen's scent and face mere inches from his calms him down. The new revelation about Aridella makes Yuva pity her but that's it. She too makes him nervous.

>>280912786
Nihei manga used to be about bleak sci fi settings involving main characters that act vaguely human with rare flashes of emotion. Rule of cool and the rare visual dark humor gag during sporadic brutally quick fights using high caliber guns and hyper sharp blades. He tried too hard with Sidonia to incorporate his strange, abstract sci fi alien biology fetishes. Aposimz was also weird mutant biomechanical biology stuff mixed with post apocalyptic misery porn and tonally off beat humor. Tower Dungeon is his best characters and a the setting keeps it's "sci fi" elements to a minimum so there's time for characters to develop instead being lost some high stakes plot over humanity's survival like all his other works. His art was amazing for sci fi architecture and biomechanical mutants, became generic for while until now where it looks like a nice balance between his highly detailed stuff and his simpler modern style.

Good night Lilibros

>>280899495

Sure they will, anon. Sure they will.

Shut your whore mouth

How can a single manga be so good?

>>280915804
nihei put all the good stuff from his previous works into one package

>>280915650
She will lead her nation.

I think i may be the only one who wants Lilisen to get both Yuva and Eriquo... Not in polycule kinda of way, but in a Lilisen and her two husbands.
(i also want Ryxul to obliterate Iscale's drakemetussy, but that's for another time)

Lilisen best girl.

Can't wait for Not!Sanakan to show up.

>>280901996

The shitamancer already had the orb, he seems to have been using it to control the monster the renowned thrower of salt killed in chapter 1.

I think that Nihei may be telling us that the shitamancer is Aridellia's parent - the timeline is that the shitamancer robbed the original drakmetamor's tomb and (maybe accidentally) left the larval Aridellia there. Also, the shitamancer is the only other living necromancer we know of.

>>280899117

All necromancers are cute girls!

>>280905333
Shitposts asides I can definitely buy the kings backstory being a tragic one where his own love of monsters lead to him befriending the necromancer and letting his guard down.
Or maybe even something weirder like the king dying from other circumstances and the necromancer taking over his body and summoning the tower to fufill one of the king's dreams.

>>280916090

Great isn't it! But Yuva talks too much to be Killy. The only party member who doesn't talk much is...Krogi!

>>280915650
He wouldn't dare

>>280916090
We just had an entire chapter of people talking, if anything it's the anti-blame.

>>280917245
Honestly the last several have been pretty chatty. Would be nice to get back to getting on.

>>280917218
>there's a literal mute character
>anon points at the crow-goat for character with almost no dialogue

>>280915650

And then Aridellia will do what she has to do. Though I think it's more likely to be Lillisen she reanimates.

>>280917635

Who cares about the minor side character? Krogi has the real personality!
Someday I hope Nihei gives us background stories for Ryxul and Gessi.

I kind of worry that there are TOO many characters now. we had a good balance with the original three.

>>280918434

Yeah, I get the feeling that he added characters so he can kill some off.

>>280900841
so the king is a queen now, right?

>>280918434
>>280918461
I think of the state of current chapter as similar to the Fellowship leaving Rivendel. This chapter is the end of the beginning.

>>280918626
We'll cross that bridge of khazad dum when we cross it

>>280918546
It's unknown at this moment. Too much extrapolation and not enough information.

>>280918546
Well technically the king is dead and died with his nads intact. The Piece-of-Shit-o-mancer transformed his dead body into an ugly tentacle hag.

>>280918546
It's a parasitic hellspawn puppeting his body around

>>280918661
They already had their khazad dum episode some chapters ago

>>280899312
How the fuck is the tower fairy biting that cookie?

>>280919311
What about Amon Hen? Maybe someone pulls a Boromir. Maybe I need to make time to rewatch these movies. I read the book pretty recently but it's been a couple years for the films.

>>280919457
It just slammed the cookie against its head and is pretending.

>>280899557
Why don't these guys go after the possessed king?

>>280919517
A few chapters back they mentioned that the POSOM (Piece-of-Shit-o-mancer) hasn't taken control of the tower so they must go after him too. POSOM has the advantage of throwing hordes of necromite thralls at them though.

>>280919517

At a guess they don't because he has the two crowns

>>280919583
>POSOM

>>280919583
>>280919587
I guess both of these are possibilities

>>280899449
>churafi curled up next to krogi
i'm comfy by proxy

>>280919496
NTA. But she got herself 4 cookies, look to what's by her side. She's greedy and wasting resources if she doesn't need to eat it.
I would understand if it was 1 cookie, as eating with family/friends is a bonding exercises/ritual. But 4 is too much!

>>280919966
If you give a fairy a cookie. it's going to ask for a glass of milky.
If you give a fairy a glass of milk it will need to wipe it's face and you will only have your shirt to offer as a cloth.
If you give a fairy your shirt it will want your pants as well.
If you give a fairy your pants it will try to get romantic.
If a fairy gets romantic Lillisen will get upset.
If Lillisent gets upset her tsundere wrath will bring the whole tower down

>>280899557
Thanks for the dump. This chapter was fantastic. The character dynamics of the party are so damn good.

>>280898750 (OP)
hell yeah, I just finally got around to starting reading this and man
Nihei really is the master

anyone planning on grabbing the western release?

Aridellia is cute. CUTE!!

>Spoiler
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I agree but only because a certified Monsterfucker™ vouched for her

>>280912786
Weird and cute girls is a constant in all of Nihei's manga
Be they robots, cyborgs, clones, monsters, animals, and horrors beyond human comprehension
that other anon put it very well, more or less-- the big, most common things through most of Nihei manga is cool, fantastic architecture, weird body horrors, and concise dialogue writing,
Tower Dungeon has a lot more written dialogue than most of his other work (notable exception to Knights of Sidonia which got retardedly wordy at times iirc) but almost none of it seems wasted or superfluous to the adventure.This sort of comfy atmosphere with a big friendly party of heroes is uncommon in his earlier stuff-- I keep expecting fucked up things to happen to the tower dungeon crew but so far things are very light and comfy

You really have to read Blame!, however.
Go and read it as soon as possible.

>>280916090
Not really

POSOM is a cute girl

>>280921671
I hope it's not animated. Any time a series gets an anime it absolutely ruins the threads. Look at what happened to Frieren.

>>280921671
You wirr rike it

>>280921739
I agree
>>280921752
I didn't hate the way they did it for Kotobuki
but it might be hard to reconcile that with Nihei's style

>>280921739
Frieren is native isekaishit, no big loss

3D anime is absolutely inevitable. Make your peace with it now so that you aren't disappointed when it's announced. We'll enjoy it for what it is. At least we'll get voice acting.

Why do you think this will get an anime? Does it sell well?

>>280921809
>native isekaishit
Retards like you are the exact point I was getting at. Moronic faggot.

>>280921853
I'm not the kind of fags who always want to see an anike adaptation but honestly this manga needs one, normalfags would love this
Nihei deserves a hit

>>280921853
It's Nihei, and yes it does.

>>280921876
Are those good numbers?

>>280921894
That's better than half the current WSJ catalogue.

>Frierentards still being in denial
Sorry the truth hurts, I guess you could try not reading native isekai if you feel so bad about it

>>280922101
Yeah, that's not my point stupid. You think the retard fans are the only ones making things shitty? You faggots are just as bad. As soon as anything gets even a little bit popular faggots like you have to make it a constant crusade that just clogs the board up with endless shit posting.

>>280922127
If Frieren threads are ruined for you because people call it shit, good. I filter them so it wouldn't know.
>Y-you just hate it because it's popular!
