A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation, Volume 4
A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation, Volume 4 | Momochi
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
When Lizel mysteriously finds himself in a city that bears odd similarities to his own but clearly isn't, he quickly comes to terms with the unlikely truth: this is an entirely different world. Even so, laid-back Lizel isn't the type to panic. He immediately sets out to learn more about this strange place, and to help him do so, hires a seasoned adventurer named Gil as his tour guide and protector. Until he's able to find a way home, Lizel figures this is a perfect opportunity to explore a new way of life adventuring as part of a guild. After all, he's sure he'll go home eventually... might as well enjoy the otherworldly vacation for now!

It's hard picking a screenshot for this volume, because there's so much good stuff with Eleven. But there's this whole scene where Lizel shows how scary he can be, and then pets Eleven's hair and comforts him after...

Again, really don't understand how anyone reads this series as straight. (And also, how anyone reads Lizel as a fundamentally good person. He is *likeable*, but amoral as fuck.)

I only read this just before Christmas, but it's basically all I'm in the mood for right now, and it's a good opportunity to make more notes on the characters. It's amazing how quickly the relationship (of, ahem, “deep camaraderie“) between Gil and Lizel deepens.

I could screenshot half the book... Even in this first volume, there's so much, like the handholding in the bar when Lizel thinks they're parting ways and Gil hates it.

shanaqui Or where someone claims to be as good as Gil and Lizel says he's insulted to have something that's his compared to them... And this scene, where Gil watches him sleep and realises he doesn't mind belonging to Lizel.

It's all so fun!

Am I kind of disappointed this may not be a BL? Yes. And yet ...! But no, it's Tokyopop and they had *that scene*. So yeah, I got extensively less enthusiastic after that (I'd say) homophobic scene (but also, it's hard to gauge Lizel...??). An interesting v1 but it doesn't offer much direction. Lizel gets isekaid into a world that is a little like his own (but not) and he decides to roll w it, becoming an adventurer, and hiring Gil as help #manga

Fans of adventure guild manga or of know-it-all confident characters will probably enjoy this lost-in-another-world slice of life manga. I didn't feel like it was anything special, though, and probably won't continue. #Manga #SliceOfLife
