im not interested in glory through combat anymore. i do not want to be a part of this shit.
Have I accidentally trained myself to stay up until four in the morning? Yes. Anyway, I got a good laugh out of this when I should be sleeping XD

I love how Arakawa clearly wrote detailed backstories for her characters and just like… never elaborates on them. I found an old interview where she was asked why she didn’t include a resolution for Hawkeye and Mustangs goals and her response was essentially “cause this story is about Ed :)”
She’s my biggest inspiration.
All I ever wanted was to be written by Hiromu Arakawa

@BETSUMAGAnews on Twitter teasing me with an Isfan preview picture…

Really nice to see it translated into german


Daryun and Narsus discussing Pelagius in Volume 16, Kodansha Edition.
Narsus, English translation: We worked side by side when I was court secretary.
Narsus, German translation: When I was court secretary we sat next to each other at some point
German Narsus once again managing to sound a bit more "Court? I don't know her"
Oh…the fact with Isfan is interesting. I did not notice this fact……mmmh maybe it is relevant maybe not. Maybe it is just a coincidence…maybe we get a flashback with Shapur? Maybe he and Guiscard meet after Atropathene and before the Ecbatana incidences??
Maybe….only maybe
And I am stunned how mich Guiscard knows👀
No wonder he is the brain behind his brother.
Things Guiscard knows and what he does not know
As currently known by chapter 121, for the fandom records.
He knows Husrab is supposed to be dead (this is the point I'm absolutely hoping is true). He did not see him, but he must have heard Tahamineh call out and mention him by name in chapter 81. C'mon, Guiscard, I hope you were conscious enough for this!


He knows that magic is real and has heard of Zahhak. Chapter 108

He knows what Isfan looks like (Idk why this is relevant but he does). Chapter 108,109.

He does not know what Hilmes was doing on Mt. Damavand. Chapter 106


He does not know he was supposed to be kidnapped by the sorcerers on the night of Isfan's attack on the Lusitanian camp. Chapter 109

In summary: Guiscard holds some information to what's going on supernaturally, but not all of it. So I still hope to see him in for a nasty surprise. (Did they want to also put his head in a jar?)
Ok I see here
Sam, Farangis, Daryun, Isfan, Estelle, Alfred and Jaswant in this picture 😂😂😂
Don‘t mind me and my silly brain

Nothing to see here, just a horse in a living room watching some familiar characters on TV in Hiromu Arakawa's new manga Daemons of the Shadow Realm.
So many feelings, so many to discuss. Poor Hilmes, poor, poor Hilmes. And Arslan finally hears the truth, but I think he knows it for a long time deep in his heart. Gieve 😂 everyone is kneeling in front of the queen and you are standing 😂 I love him for his attitude. Isfan my baby boy….a little traitor. I love it!!! Even we didn’t see him in this chapter. Sam looks so lost and empty…empty eyes and very tired. Great chapter. Really really great!
Chapter 124 (simulpub ver.) is now available on Mangasee123!
I was thinking the same thing and I absolutely love Gieve for that.
Hieve looks so boring like and it seems that he only kneels before her because everyone else is kneeling and I don’t think that he respected the queen.
I think Gieve is the kind of character who only kneels infront of someone he deeply respects because in the past he kneels in front of Arslan. So I don’t think that royality means a lot for him but the fact that he kneels in front of Arslan is as much respect that you can get from Gieve.
God look at Gieve in this panel

Every single one of them : *sincerely kneel before the queen, faster than the speed of light*
Gieve : ............
*finally kneels down to not stand out among them*

He doesn't give two fucks about royalty. Also, he finds the queen cheap, for she deducted a sum from his measly prize money :'D

There’s no character I want to hug more than Arslan. Like the poor baby, he basically only had one person growing up that treated him like a son.



No face reveal (yet!) but we did get these glimpses of the Holy Master during the Gotarzes flashback panels while Andragoras was talking. 'The Great King's sorcerer,' eh? He was obviously a trusted figure for Gotarzes, which was a big mistake. I hate that I am now interested in this guy but I am.

ARSLAN SENKI (2013-?) by arakawa hiromu
They are Arslan's real mother and father for me.

I don't care what the canon says :3



(Hilmes looking disdainfully at the newly forged crown being offered to him - Chapter 128)
I'm also incorporating this panel into my chat language for when I will look a gift horse in the mouth
