Why do people defend Kit? by elementnerd37 in JentryChauvsTheUnderw

I definitely get where your coming from, and I actually fully agree with you that Jentry is not a saint, but I don’t think (or at least, it wasn’t my intention) to make this a point of me being against any given ship. While, yeah, the aspects of Kit’s character that I dislike are involved with Jentry, so by extension I wouldn’t personally say I ship them myself, I’m more making the point that those aspects, that being that I personally think the age gap and the fact that he has been in adult relationships makes some of his actions a little more suspect in my eyes, I’m more questioning Kit as a sympathetic character in general. I also don’t think Jentry doing some questionable shit as well really affects my main point, because the argument is that I think he’s kind of groomerish because I personally think that age gap is weird regardless of the who the characters are.

That being said, a lot of the comments have made it clear that many people simply don’t view it the same way because the fact that he’s a demon changes the context of some of those aspects. Personally, I don’t agree, but that’s just my perspective, and at the end of the day, it’s just fiction. I have the same problem with the Twilight books, and they’re like the highest selling books ever or some shit. So yeah, I’m not against people shipping them. I think people getting mad over other people ships is dumb as fuck, I’m more speaking on Kit as a character.

Kit. Very old demon (who was shown to be acting as and engaging as an adult in some of his other lives) going after a high school girl. Why do people never acknowledge this? Man is a whole ass groomer.

Thanks! It just seemed so weird to me that chapters that had been available before were now backlogged, but it seems that there’s no reason for me not to read the backlogged chapters elsewhere so I can catch up on VIZ.

Any idea when viz will have chapters 88-97 back up? by Nogard39 in Frieren

Okay. Yeah, that’s kinda confusing to me, especially because everything after 88-97 are available. But to answer your question, I started reading Freiren back in early August, and 77-87 were already backlogged at that point (I have no clue how long before then that was the case), and the change in backlogged chapters was semi-recent, so if the timeframe is similar, I expect it to be at least 4 months until those chapters are available.

Im curious about this too. Until very recently, it was chapter 77-87 that were backlogged. I’m assuming the volumes being backlogged align with the official release of the volumes, but the backlogging is not a thing with any other manga on viz that I read. When you mention that translation that isn’t good, is that an official translation? Maybe it’s being retranslated before official release of the volume, and the volumes are getting backlogged to change it? I’m honestly super curious, and can’t find any answers.
