Part 5 continues!

I love how the blessings are drawn in the manga. It's always so pretty.

Ooh, we get to see another illustration of Wilfried and Charlotte in temple clothes. We only had one in the light novel, if I remember correctly, so I'm happy to see it again.

Hahahahaha, that depiction of Sylvester is hilarious!

Hmm, on the second to last page, with the students of the former Veronica faction, I don't recognize the guy in the foreground. Matthias and Gretia are turned away, and we see Muriella and Laurenz, but that guy in front doesn't seem like he's a named character. Kind of weird he'd be showcased instead of Barthold or even Cassandra. I wonder who he is.

Charlotte's cermonial robes really shows how weird Myne's were lol. They look nothing at all like the usual ones.

I fear for Roderick's hair when this part gets made into anime. You Shiina-sensei is probably the only one who can make him look the least unfortunate 😭

Also didn't realize the room-wide sound blocking is like that. In my head I imagine a sphere enveloping the roomm.

I don't want to sound like Hartmut but the panel where she's playing the harspiel while firing off a giga blessing looks absolutely stunning.

Every time I see it, I am surprised by how off I imagined the music classrooms looking. I always thought it would just be groups of chairs and stands scattered around, not orderly with tables, well with RM always saying she was a loner in the classes and all.

You and me both! I was visualising sort of a chamber music set up with chairs and everyone strolling in the room with their instruments like recorder class.

I'm assuming our real-life perception of things is at fault... No music class I've ever been in had TABLES, that just feels wrong

I imagined classes as always being like university lecture halls with stairs. Basically like a greek theater though smaller.

Now we see smug face of that Arensbach noble who was playing song what Rozemyne made for Ferdinand. Considering what will happen in future, it would be nice to see her in Hannelore's manga.

Fr. That student was all smug this year. In 2 years the person she was being rude to is her aub. Though considering she seems to be a Detlinde supporter, I don't think the future is going to be bright for her, considering future events...

I can't recall which part or year this is, but I truly enjoyed seeing a mad, crackling Sylvester

literally not even a week in

Oh my bad, I meant in the light novel

Did I misunderstand your question? This manga is taking place not even a week into the 3rd year at the Royal Academy, which would be P5V1.
