The unwanted undead adventurer vol 1 by Yu Okano

9/12/2022

0 Comments

 
Cover of The Unwanted Undead Adventurer volume 1. Rentt in his skeleton form is clothed in a green cloak and steel armor. He holds a sword in his hands by the hilt with the tip pointed down into the ground. Next to him is his fellow adventurer in a pink mini skirt and pink bikini top. She has flowing blond hair in a ponytail on the top of her head.
Adapted by Haiji Nakasone
​
Rentt is a mediocre adventurer trying to get ahead in a dungeon, when he accidentally finds a dragon on a level where there should be no dragons. He wakes up much later, but his body is strange, and his voice isn't working. He realizes that he has woken up as a skeleton after the dragon has finished devouring him! Unsure of why he was reborn this way, Rentt puts his (absent) nose to the grindstone yet again in order to level up, but this time as a monster. He hopes he can level far enough to gain back a body and a voice. Along the way, he stumbles across another adventurer from his guild who he hopes can help him re-integrate into society and possibly figure out why he woke up as a monster.

The faraway paladin vol 1 by Kanata Yanagino

Cover of The Faraway Paladin volume 1. Will is standing holding a pike behind him. He's dressed in a white tunic with brown pants and is holding his backpack strap in his other hand. The sunset behind him is glorious and full of blues and purples. He stands in a green field.
Adapted by Mutsumi Okubashi
​
In an almost abandoned temple, Will is being raised by three interesting guardians: Gus, a powerful magic user who teaches Will how to use the Words of Creation to cast magic; Blood, a super strong warrior who teaches Will to fight and hone his own physical strength; and Mary, who teaches Will about growing his own food and preparing nourishing meals. All three provide Will with valuable lessons that will keep him alive in this strange world, and all three are undead. At first, we see Will as a small child learning from his three caretakers, but by the end of the volume, he has grown into a man of fifteen, and must make his way in a world full of monsters and vengeful gods.

Lutz wants to become a traveling merchant, and Mr. Otto used to be, but instead, Otto brings along Mr. Benno, who is a merchant in town. Benno sees talent and wants to make both kids his apprentices when they are baptized in the next year, but their test will be to make paper and make him lots of money.

​

In the last volume, Myne gathered some reeds and cut them down very small in order to make papyrus. In this volume, she starts weaving her very thin strands together, but it’s just too hard of work for her small hands. Her mother weaves cloth on an apparatus in order to prepare for Tuuli’s baptism ceremony coming in the summer, and Myne wants to make a hairpin for her to liven up the outfit. Dad makes a small wooden crochet needle and hairpin, while Myne crochets a few flowers. Myne decides that she next wants to try making clay tablets, but she needs to build up enough strength to actually walk to the forest first. The first goal is to make it to the gate: if she makes it, Otto will teacher her how to write while she rests, then she can come home. Myne helps Otto with some of the math on his year end under report, so he thinks having her as an unofficial assistant would be great! Myne finally makes it to the forest and finds some clay, but the tablets don’t turn out the way she wants them to.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: I'll Do Anything to become a Librarian! Part 1: If there aren't any books, I'll just have to make some!, illustrated by Suzuka

Our heroine is a college student who loves books, but who is unfortunately smashed to death by her beloved books. As her dying wish, she hopes to be reincarnated into a place where she can read books all the time. Instead, she’s reincarnated as a tiny, sickly, five year old girl named Myne, in a world where books are extremely expensive and super rare. She tries to find supplies to make books, but the supplies are also extremely expensive. So, Myne decides to try to make what she needs to put together a book. She asks her older sister to get reed plants to try and make papyrus, but she doesn't totally remember how to make papyrus. If only she could remember that one book she read that one time!
