Spooky!

Uh-oh!

Otr's sword finally makes its debut!

Hot, sweaty Sindra and Iron Spirit!

I miss her.

Fin~

What are your thoughts on this latest chapter so far?

In the next issue, Otr will finally get a color page in chapter 18!

>>282085855
Sorry anon, no more lewd dwarf girl for you.

'twas merely a ruse.

>>282085855
miss them and her

>>282086063
Nooooo! ;_____;

Otr color page is in next week!

>>282085983
Oh shit we're in for some proper boats stuff, menbros we won

>>282086295
Not even the only character to say that this week

You clearly have no argument and pull some cheap response instead.

Woah! He really saved the group and choose a safe route for them

>>282087054
>>282087599
I bet Kawaguchi loves these pictures

>>282087796
That's because he is a crustacean lover; that's part of his hobby.

This guy is cool.

Neat jumpscare.
>>282085983
Seems OP but it let us see the dwarf again.

These chapters have been fun.

>>282087058
Yeah, I felt that too this chapter, a lot of dumb redundant dialogues that explained everything

>>282087929
>>282087964
I love this guy's creativity despite the criticism he gets from everyone. And I've already ordered the 1st volume from a local bookstore, it will arrive within 2 months.

Nice, anon, I did the same and await its arrival!

And meanwhile, I'll post Otr vol. 1 cover and extras chapter.

>>282086541
The art on that new book looks .....

I feel like this author is one of those who could benefit from someone that can write good stories while does the art part, granted, someone with a decent to mediocre story but good art can make it big like BnHA, but this author isn't having any luck with that

>>282088460
I think he'd do a lot better if they had a more hands-on editor. The training arc at the beginning of this series was a huge miss - 3.5 chapters for nothing. If an editor told him to scrap that and instead had Huggin arrive after they fix the Chapter 2 docks, and then Otr gets sent to the village that needs help, the series wouldn't have felt like it meandered at the start.

He's great at coming up with designs for characters and creatures, but for some reason he has trouble translating the imaginative worlds he comes up with for illustrations into a manga format.

>>282087058
What would you want them to do instead?

>>282088988
Not that anon but we can already see this on the page, no need to state it in words

>>282088580
Yeah I really love his imagination, he's just not good at how to present them and make an engaging story, I still have hope that this is the author BnHA and makes a comeback because I don't see him coming back to Jump if this gets cancelled, BnHA author had two cancellations before coming up with BnHA and Black Clover author likewise had a cancellation before Black Clover itself.

Otrbros, we are live!

>>282089220
Or maybe he's gets a a gig like what's going on with Gege/Yuji and can be an artists for a writer

Might have been cooler if he sliced the giant sea beast giving them trouble for 2 chapters instead of a fucking rock.

>>282085983
My nigga Otr just cleaved a fucking mountain!

Kawaguchi has an interest in western folklore and mythology so I wonder if he can find an author with same interests and not just usual dragon quest shit.

>>282090687
Ryoko Kui, author of Dungeon Meshi and she into Western RPG games too.

That's busted.

>>282093890
Yeah, it screams overpowered, so how can Khuteinn get out of his ship? By sense of wind?

>>282090057
That's his best part!

I wish he was more successful, I want a good Fantasy Shonen

>>282095545
Why does Kawaguchi have to make the old creepy demon a shotacon? It's really weird!

>>282088530
The four legged, antlered triclops looks pretty cool.

>>282096306
Maybe it's the evil king's true form? Kawaguchi did a good job giving a Norse folktale feeling.

>>282095041
Why, is Otr not fantasy enough for you?

Maybe it wouldn't have much effect because these creatures can regenerate very quickly

>>282085759
>talking faster than a falling rock
Timing feels wrong. I bet it could work with different panelling.

>>282097454
It does look as if Otr can easily cut a big creature in half, maybe Kawaguchi wanted to save it for later.

>>282097543
If I were his editor, I would tell him to get rid of those pages and make room for like this one instead.
>>282085812

>>282093446
I'm sure some mangaka/editor knows tricks to make it look cool. One of those "make time feel like it's moving slow" scenes. Where everyone reacts at the same time.

>>282098207
The Dragon Dive scene in HxH for example

>>282088775
Thank you for posting.

>>282097596
The tentacles for sure, but again, they would regenerate just like what happened when Etupirko attacked the one following Cholerio. And I bet it's hard for Otr to hit the creature with a blow like that when half of its body is also submerged in the ocean. Let's see, this fight has everything to be cool. We go from a proud and honorable warrior to a coward who attacks his opponents from behind—it's a great contrast.

No, I meant that I wanted it to succeed, other than Ichi everything else (new) is just "People Fight in Modern Japan"

>>282101304
Yeah, I'm starting to get tired of this too. And when it's not a story set in real Japan, it's a fictional Japan, just like in Kagurabachi and Kiyoshi.

>>282085983
Thanks anon

>>282088622
I need more Sixten. Love this guy

>>282088460
BnHA didn't become big because of the art; it became big because of the characterization. People, especially nowadays, tend to focus excessively on plot, twists and lore, therefore underestimate the power of good characterization. Art certainly helps, but it's not everything.
>>282088580
>I think he'd do a lot better if they had a more hands-on editor.
We need guys like Torishima again in the magazine.

>>282101948
Ichi isn't bad but the action is very clearly not the focused/the strongest bits aren't action based

fapped to Otr

>>282103775
We know, Doadoa

>>282086063
>>282086486
I'm working on it

>>282103686
Nishi just really isn't good at writing fights unless they're a quick one-sided smackdown. Saying this as a huge fan of Iruma

Oh,Yeah.It´s all coming together.

>>282101304
>other than Ichi everything else (new) is just "People Fight in Modern Japan"
Are you me? That is exactly why I have zero interest in reading that kind of stuff in the WSJ; it was so boring to read, and I was starving for more fantasy and action & adventure that is not based on Dragon Quest for once.
>>282101948
I wished more authors would take on Naruto-style fantasy a little bit more. It takes on ninja and ninja mythology and makes it a world of ninja. That's what I found fascinating to read.

>>282085855
I´m pretty sure there´s plenty of Sindra in X at this point.

>>282103944
Hey, I remember you from the last Otr thread! I like your drawing of Sindra, and I'll be looking forward to seeing it finished!
>>282104350

>>282104885
@SuiMony_Hz in X. He´s the one that makes a lot of Etupirko r34 :T

>>282104885
Thanks anon! It might take a while, but I'll finish it. The problem is that I haven't found a good pose or angle for Sindra, this is already my 4th redrawn of her. And as I said in the previous thread, I'm also drawing some Alajoki content, and I started doodling Sixten×Huginn.

And damn where did you get this pic? Are all these drawings by Kawaguchi?!

Good poses and angles can be tough to draw, and I'm sure you can handle it well. More Alajoki lewd is always good!
>And damn where did you get this pic? Are all these drawings by Kawaguchi?!
I found them either on twitter or from Nip like 2ch.

>>282105918
>rapidly rising in popularity

As much as it's probably just marketing spiel, the manga has noticeably improved in recent chapters, so maybe there's some truth to it.

>>282112065
Either that or the rest of the Sinister Six are fairing that much worse

>>282112194
>>282112065

>>282101304
>>282101948
Cause it takes the least amount of effort to write, everyone understands Japan, you don't really have to do a ton of world building to make it make sense compared to something significantly more fantastical

Cholerio is a he?!

Grim

>>282119792
Totally a male.Confirmed by Kawaguchi himself.

>>282119792
You thought he was she?

I thought he was she.

I can see Otr getting a reprint.

>>282122123
I love the cover, simple yet singular.

>>282124029
Same, it looks really pretty.

Waiting for 3 big mommies to appear...

Imagine these two are Velou and Grimm that got Isekai´d into Otr using the Witche´s magic from the Red Hood Epilogue.
Plottwist,Otr of the Flame is the prequel and the Giants from Red Hood are the Jotunn from Otr lol.Just like Fire Force and Soul Eater(?)

This one that looks like a Mesugaki should be Muninn since it has the same feather pattern that Huginn.

>>282127070
>Imagine these two are Velou and Grimm that got Isekai´d into Otr using the Witche´s magic from the Red Hood Epilogue.
That would be really cool to see that happen. Funny enough, I kind of miss velou and grimm even though it was ashort-lived series.

>>282127100
Her dress looks sort of like a princess.

This one seems like Alajoki´s sister.Wonder if she´s the Thor equivalent.Since we already have Sindra and Brok I guess we´ll have Mjolnir at some point.

Also this one should be Loki

>>282128269
Both have a similar hairstyle, so yeah, it seems both are sisters, maybe even twins.

>>282127023
>>282128269
>>282128732
How the fuck did you guys come to the conclusion that the middle silhouette is also a woman? To me, he seems more like the typical bearded old man of the group.
>>282127070
Say sike right now

>>282129201
>To me, he seems more like the typical bearded old man of the group.
It's 100 percent a woman; hairstyles are giving it away, same with Akajoki's hairstyle. And what makes you think that, bearded old man?

>>282128296
Beside his horn, it's too early to said that guy is loki.

>>282112194
Eikeden bros or whatever seems like it might genuinely be in a worse spot that Otr

>>282101304
Have you tried reading anything outside of Jump

>>282133609
Eikeden bros was mocked with MC face, nips found it really creepy.

>>282133903
What does it have to do with anon's dislike of People Fight in Modern Japan in WSJ magazine?

>>282136312
Anon wanted a good Fantasy Shonen

>>282136343
Yeah, and Anon wanted a good fantasy shonen in WSJ magazine.

>>282136387
Well that's an odd restriction but what do I know, maybe he's paying for the magazine

>>282136474
To be fair, creating a good fantasy shonen that is not based on Dragon Quest or generic fantasy can be really tough. .

Why isn’t Etupirko interested in the absolute ubermensch Khuteinn? Is she gay or is the /ss/ just too strong?

>>282137177
Anon, Otr and Etupirko are basically a married couple. Not yet, but they will be.

>>282136343
I'm actively reading Touge Oni and Tower Dungeon, it would just be nice to have something not ass in Jump

>>282137933
I wonder if having a good fantasy shonen in WSJ is impossible?

Sold like 2500 copies already and has been only 4 days.Also those Shoseki and Oricon lists don´t count online or overseas sales,only physical sales in Japanese Manga stores.I´d say it doesn´t look THAT bad.

>>282127023
>>282127070
>He might have actually repurposed the Nun from Red Hood

>>282139448
Both share the same pose, but another anon thinks it's Grimm.
>>282127070

>>282139448
The idea crossed my mind,yes.I also wish she could bring back Cursa as well,even as a Ice Demon.

>>282137310
Etupirko can go pound sand,Team Otr x Sindra is where is at.

>>282139255
Let's assume WSJ readers like chapter 11 and onward and vote on the survey for Otr but haven't decided to buy the Otr manga yet.

>>282105918
WSJ said it is rapidly rising in popularity in WSJ magazine, which could bump it up in TOC ranking. Which means the editorial department decided to keep Otr around. Some said TOC over sales.

Dunno how many sales in Amazon.jp,but read somewhere that jumped from ranking 13999 to like 2999 and has 4.9 stars and 16 japanese reviews(I guess fans overseas also buy from here)

>>282140024
Man, Kawaguchi drew the leather body very lewdly.

some amazon translated japanese comments

>>282093572
And the main character is a cook since when did being an artisan matter with spirit stuff

>>282140060
I don't think she has a feeling for Otr, even though he saved her dwarf valley and iron spirit. If I were Kawaguchi's editor, I would tell him to make Sindra kiss Otr.

Wait until Sindra starts wielding Mjolnir created with Brokk´s help.

>>282140712
Otr's father taught him how to fight, so he is quite familiar with sword and shield.

I ship them

Need my shortstack dwarf waifu

>>282122123
I love this kind of art that can make me sympathize with a character just by looking at it. It kind of reminds me of Horikoshi's.

>>282140918
Honestly, I would describe his Vol. 1 cover art style as warm and comfortable. It is very pleasing to look at and read.

>>282140878
Hope to see her return to Otr team someday.

>>282140530
Well, let hope Otr will live.

>>282139448
>>282139759
Yeah, her hair is just tied back that isn't a veil/hat

Sad and pitiful necrobump

>>282152779
Seriously? There is nothing to talk about unless Kawaguchi posts chapter 17 art on Twitter. Let it rest.

>>282088460
This artist’s issue is he likes to get lost in le epic worldbuilding and explaining shit only truly autistic people care about. He understands from a bare minimum that starting a story requires an intervention and a reason for adventure but after that he rarely focuses on character dynamics.
Take Nue for instance, that story heavily focuses on character interaction while its worldbuilding and power mechanics are a secondary priority.
At the end of the day people like to read stories about people, that’s not to say readers who enjoy worldbuilding doesn’t exist, but this author’s problem is he is trying to survive in Shounen fucking Jump.

>>282153299
>This artist’s issue is he likes to get lost in le epic worldbuilding and explaining shit only truly autistic people care about.

I agree, but at the same time we had/have Jujutsu Kaisen, so...

>>282152839
Silly you, I can elaborate on my theory that the wind spirit must be a girl with huge breasts like Lucoa.

>>282153477
gege barely gave half a fuck about the setting wtf are you talking about

well the wind spirit may as well be a Giant Bird or something but since Fylgja seems humanoid,I think all main elemental Spirits should be the same,kinda like in Card Captor Sakura.

>>282153561
The first chapters of JJK (as well as all the others) focus more on (over)explaining powers, rules and world than on establishing interactions and characters (these were always treated more as plot devices than anything else). And the sequel looks like it will follow the same approach.

>>282153601
I probably think the wind spirit will look like a fylgja-style spirit. I do wonder if wind spirit have two arms or more.

Plottwist-She´ll look like those Harpy or Sirens from Greek Mythos.Well maybe there´s some Winged Lady in Norse legends.

>>282153793
>Well maybe there´s some Winged Lady in Norse legends.

Or maybe she looks like a cloudy-like spirit.

The Important Question should be how many main elemental spirits are out there,in the Last Spirit one we see the Water(and even the ICE Spirit)Fighting with the heroes against the Evil King.So there´s Light and Earth(?) the Iron Spirit don´t look so important.
The Ice Kingdom has the Winter Spirit,maybe there´s like the Forest Spirit or something(and looks like an Elf maybe?)

>>282153929
I strongly believed that the evil king was a darkness spirit, an evil goblin femboy blessed with darkness power from the evil king. Maybe Etupriko will suddenly have Ice Spirit out of nowhere.

>huge breasts this, big mommies that
At this point it seems like most people are just reading this fucking manga to get some fap material and nothing more, which is sad because I really like Kawaguchi's works and his creativity. He's much more than just a guy who likes muscle girls and I hope he continues to evolve even more as an artist.
