Art Volume Cover and Official Art Thread

[Demonspeed]

I honestly don't know how anyone can believe that Balin could be Lancelot at this point. It's pretty clear that he has his own story. Lancelot wouldn't be that interested in Gawain and would have joined Percival. Percival can identify people by their souls too.

Never understood that theory in the first place. Too many holes and unknowns in it, especially with what we know about him now.

The new cover is very cool tho. I did not predict a single colour of it but imo it turns out quite well. Balin all in red with that ash-blonde hair strangely gives me Dante vibes from DMC lol.

Also, this cover is pure unadulterated twink overload lmao

I can kinda understand, he is strong, Gawain and Tristan came back rather quickly and absorbing Gawain's attacks is something Lancelot could have done. But that was only a bit plausible at the beginning of the arc. Now it just doesn't make sense.

It also never made much sense from the story perspective either as soon as we learned Gareth fought him before

Title: Girls' talk (1)

...once again, thank you for avenging me.

It's a given as a friend.

You too, Gawain.
If you want to thank me, give me three kisses.

There they go.

Nevertheless, I didn't want to be indebted to you, Nasiens.
Huh?
Oh my, oh my? Are you two having a fight or something?

...because we are rivals. Right?

Page 5:
R... rivals!? A... are you being serious about that!?
What! Are you implying I'm not worth being your rival?
That isn't what I meant! It's just that Percival never looked at me the way he did you!!

Oh!?

Don't tell me you two... are liking that natural birdbrain!?
Got a problem with that!!?
I can hear you two...

SFX: Achoo
Outside: That's dirty! Don't spray it all over the place!
Outside: How about we go to sleep now?

Even you have at least someone you have feelings for, don't you?
Well, I've been clueless about that kind of feeling... I do have sex drive alright though...

There is a very fine line between being a genius and being a pervert...
Outside: Eheh.
I'll have you know I am a genius!!

Page 6:
You are a man in the first place, are you, Nasiens?
Until now, you haven't been going to a bath with me nor with Percival...
When we met again, I felt like you were a girl...

To...
To tell the truth...
Outside: I smell a nice scent of fragrant olive.

Whaaat!!?

Th... then you're turning into an actual girl!!?
...and not to mention you're a Fairy!!!
You're too loud...
Outside: Please calm down.

Page 7:
My chest started bulging, uhm... just a little bit.
I had my body checked out when I washed myself and some other parts also...

Very good!!!

Did you tell any of this to Percival?
I didn't... It felt weird for me to tell him that, so...

A... anyway, it feels embarrassing... awkward...
And... if he said "I don't really care about that either way" to me, I... I would...

Hey.
Eek!

Page 8:
It's time to go to sleep, Nasiens.
We can't stay in a girls' room any longer or Anne will get mad at us!!

U... uhm.
What's it?
No, nothing.

Nasiens... she's really terrific!!
Outside: A little longer and we'd be on the receiving end of her lashing out.
Outside: Y... yes... thank you.
That's... kinda unfair.

THE END.

Is he impervious to sarcasms or what?

The next volume is scheduled to come out on April 16th.

 

[Demonspeed]

Huh, so Nasiens is really turning into a girl now...

It's nice to see Percival, Donny and Gareth having fun together.

SEE, I FUCKING TOLD YOU PEOPLE MULTIPLE TIMES!!!!

But, nuh uh, it was just a "weird art angle" or some shit or "Nakaba would've told the audience in some way"

Hmph!

EDIT:

Also, Gawain basically just admitting she has no romantic feelings towards any of the girls, not even Isolde and she's just DTF lol


Gareth/Darteth's colour scheme fits surprisingly well with the old uniforms of the Tristan platoon. Coincidence?

Well, he told us now . I didn't expect it but he is still finding ways to play around with this.

She has olive's body scent just like King. For Lancelot it's lemon. I don't remember if anything has been said about Elaines's body scent.

 

[DragonKing]

This extra confirms that Nasiens knows that Percival and Anne have something, in addition to knowing something that Percival himself does not yet know. It will be good to follow the development between these three, especially on Percival's part, who does not know that Nasiens is a boy, but when he finds out, he will stop being intimate with Nasiens because of Anne's rules.

 

[FKS]

I finished comparing the magazine and the volume versions of the chapters. Here's the link. Of course there are the usual additions like screentones, some background or speedlines too.

by the grace of god, gawain is still a super lesbian

 

[ZeldrisEmpire]

Nasien is a girl huh? Cool I guess.

It's nice we're finally getting a Fairy Queen, though I won't lie I had kind of warmed up to the idea of Nasien remaining genderless or even a dude. But the latter option was probably pipe dream because that would entail a bisexual harem and Nakaba doesn't even seem to want to make Gawain a lesbian

 

[Demonspeed]

The best thing about the Fairy Realm's arc and Nasiens's condition was the lore. I like learning stuff like this and Nakaba can be really good at world building when he tries. Waiting to see more for the other clans especially the Goddesses.

I couldn't care less about that triangle however. Percival, Lancelot and Tristan's love interests are obvious to anyone. This kind of thing is more interesting with supporting characters or/and when names aren't obvious hints. It's not like it's a harem series either. Just like with the gender ambiguity extra pages, Nakaba is just having fun.

New volume cover here:

Spoiler

 

[Demonspeed]

Still the same colors as his main outfit in the first part...

Nice cover.

 

[Undina]

Still the same colors as his main outfit in the first part...

Nice cover.

Not really, the coat is more on the orange-y side and his first fit had more light blue visible. Now we only see the surcoat with its metalwork and the standard black unitard under it. Nakaba really said: "Fine, I'm giving Isolde pants, but stripping Tristan down to his underwear"
I still want him to go back to the first fit or the armor from the flashback.

--- Double Post Merged, Apr 6, 2025, Original Post Date: Apr 6, 2025 ---

Gareth/Darteth's colour scheme fits surprisingly well with the old uniforms of the Tristan platoon. Coincidence?

You're trying to say Chion gets a (pair of) new best bud/s?

 

[Yakkun]

Cover looks nice pose-wise but I don't like how close Nakaba chose the colour scheme again to Tristan's original garb. Unless there is deeper meaning to it with the whole connection between Daymond and Escanor. But I doubt it, Escanor wore all kinds of different outfits throughout the manga and it changed colours several times so it is hard to pinpoint are relation there.

As a defender of the "every 4KotA gets a squad"-theory I don't see why things couldn't mix and match and Gareth would by no means be guaranteed to end up on the Percival squad.

 

[Demonspeed]

I don't remember when he said it, but Nakaba said he picks colors fitting the character's personality. Must be why Percival still has green and orange and Tristan still has a yellow outfit.

Why the Estarossa pick, then? Not really similar to Tristan.
