Hey guys, great title for a manga, eh? This one is a Dragon Quest V doujinshi that was originally posted on Pixiv by Nikiichi Tobita (MONSTER X MONSTER), when he was still an amateur artist. In fact, you'll notice a few similarities to MONSTER X MONSTER. You could say, this manga = MONSTER X MONSTER - DQ V. It's a more or less free adaptation of the "How I stalked some dude with an exposed nipple and stumbled upon the Zenithian Swordwwww" thread that was started on 2ch by an anonymous poster with the ID YDmPhSO2. So yeah, he's the author, I suppose. If the title is too long for you, the Japanese also refer to it as Bonfire NEET (焚き火ニート). Note: You should really play Dragon Quest V before you read this one (doesn't matter if it's the original SNES, or one of its remakes on DS and PS2). It's a great game, so you should have played it anyway. Also, the author made a few minor changes to the DQ V story to make the main protagonist fit in. Enjoy! Volu
I really liked this one, thanks. Kinda expected worse from that author, but now I wish he did more like this.
ReplyDeleteGood work on the translations! As expected, always great stuff.
This feels a bit rushed, but it's still interesting and unusual. And being nonformulaic is something I value a lot.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, what I wanted to say is that I liked this manga. Thanks for translating it.
Wow, what a story. Are the others this good?
