Maybe The Manga Get Another Twist? Maybe An Alternative After Book 7?

Maybe the manga get another twist? Maybe an alternative after book 7?

Maybe 😅

Let me dream

Yes Isfan without his cloak his 1+

GOOD ArSen Chapter 109 changes: Isfan’s beloved horse is okay

BAD ArSen Chapter 109 changes: Gurgin… 😭😭😭😭

(Surely this confirms the manga will only adapt up to the end of Book 7… I don’t want that to be true, but there’s so other reason to cut/change scenes and kill Gurgin off so early.)

Oh, I want to divert you from an unpleasant topic! Let's talk about Arslan's wonderful hair color. I think it's boring to consider them just white. The anime, of course, does not convey this, but it seems to me that if they were filming a movie, they would be an unusual color!

Oh, sure! Well, for starters, Tanaka himself doesn't even specify what Arslan's hair colour is! The original illustrator of the novels, Yoshitaka Amano, gave him blond/white hair, and after that, it seems everyone else more or less followed his example. I don't think it's boring; in fact, I think this pale hair colour was chosen precisely because it is unusual, and it (in particular for the manga/anime/OVAs) hints at the mystery of his origins.

He doesn't look anything like his dark-haired father, Andragoras. In the novel, although Daryun ventures that Arslan looks more like his mother when Vahriz presses him for an answer, the truth is that he doesn't look like her, either (in the novel series she has black hair and eyes; the fact that both Sachiko Kamimura and Hiromu Arakawa changed this in their character designs was no doubt to make the matter of his parentage all the more confusing). So right away, it makes people start questioning things — is Andragoras not, in fact, Arslan's father? Why does his mother, who he does resemble, treat him so coldly?

I doubt Tanaka pictured him as having white hair, but I do think it's an appropriate choice. Is there a particular colour you think would suit him better?

Narsus: Daryun, when you see Kharlan, don’t kill him.

Daryun: Aye.

Narsus: -looking at Kharlan’s impaled body-

Narsus: I thought I told you not to kill him.

Daryun:

Daryun: Sorry?

He almost jolts out of his skin when a gentle hand cups his cheek. “I can't come with you,” Ayunnen says. “This is for the both of us. Please understand.”

He cannot answer.

Neither of them acknowledge the tears he sheds silently.

...That was their first meeting.

It was not the last.

Welp, fellas, at least the first encounter is done!! Now to actually get on with the next two, aye 😭
