At long last, Hajime has conquered all seven labyrinths and crafted a way home for himself. But as he and his friends leave the Frost Caverns, they find a massive army of apostles waiting for them. Leading the pack is Freid, and he's come to invite them to the Demon Lord's castle. Though Hajime is reluctant, Freid has taken his old classmates, as well as Myu, hostage. Left with no choice, he follows Freid to the seat of the demon empire's power. What new secrets will be waiting for him there, and will he able to survive the final game Ehit has prepared for him?
So I couldn't wait and got a digital copy. Now I almost wish I had. Not because it was bad, quite the contrary... but because I have to wait for the final volume anyway! GAHHH *gnashes teeth*
So this is an obvious set up for the final volume with the requisite cliff hanger. It picks up at the very end of volume 10 and doesn't really let up. It is very action packed, full of the craziness that you've come to expect in Arifureta. In some ways it is a lot more harem-y than some other ones, but it is self-aware and very tongue-in-cheek about it which made it more entertaining than not for me.
Maybe because it was the digital copy I did not have to force myself to suffer through the bonus stories which I generally find detract from the series. Not the extra chapter (Which is about Tio going home this time and was pretty decent) but the "bonus" stuff. Blah.
Verdict: If you've come this far I can't see why you'd quit now. If you've not started, it is an entertaining series. Check it out.
Well this had some pretty good moments compared to most of the series! But sadly after the pretty cool battle with the Gods, the preparation for the final confrontation was rather lackluster. At least we had some good moments with our cover girl Tio, even if they were mostly in an extra chapter. Also we got to see a bit more of the rest of the class, even if most of them weren't in action. Overall, not so good, but at least I'm going in the next book with some curiosity about how this will all play out.
Omg if I have to wait another 6 months to a year for the next book I'll lose it. This is a great setup for the final battle. I'm truly looking forward to the next installment. There is a lot of great coverage for the other students. Like the author says at the end there are still 9 students who don't have names and I believe now, this late in this series is not the time to introduce them. Maybe in some after stories. Can't wait for the next book.
Lots of plot elements brought together to lead to the climax...and the book ends. When does volume 12 come out? Seriously, great work by the translator, and a fun read. Waiting for the grand victory and the trip home. I mean, obviously, that's what's gonna happen. But reading how it happens will be fun.
Another great volume, nearing the conclusion of the main story. As usual the battles and action scenes are well written and in this volumes from the start is action packed. The author does a great job breaking tense moments with hilarious comments from the characters. And once again, Shea and the Haulias steal the spotlight.
As soon as I read the manga for this series, fell in love with it. I discovered it was a light novel series and immediately picked it up. Now we are approaching the end of this story, I can only see there being one or two books left. I love this series. Manga, light novel, and anime.
Interesting plot twists and setting up the finale.
Okay I’m going to be honest here and say Kouki was an expected twist only in terms of direction, however the other twist came out of left field. The rest of the book masterfully sets it up for the final battle, but not without the usual oddball moments we’ve come to expect. I am eager to see how this series concludes.
Read this volume as slowly as possible, and still it was over too soon. Oh well just have to wait for the next volume. I'm impatient to see how this take ends however; dreading that it must come to an end.
Write faster! Loving this story. Start to finish these novels have delivered. They have it all. I'm on the edge of my seat the whole time. The progression of the characters is fantastic. I need more
This book showed more character development for Tio and many of the others. Even his daughter is becoming a fierce warrior. I can't wait for the next volume.
It is finally staring to reach the climax. Like author said this is essentially the prologue to final confrontation with evil god. I really enjoy bonus chapters at then end of each book. Can't wait for the next book.
I need more!!!when is the next book coming need more awesomeness.they need to hurry up and make a second season on crunchyroll I want to see this in anime!!!!
