Not sure how long that'll hold up, seems like there's a "Church" that doesn't like pagan deities such as Horo very much. Reminds me of Scrapped Princess a little. Just a bit.  |
Hmm... I don't think I'll go buy the novels. It looks great (the manga) so far, but I don't think I'll like reading through 200+ pages, full of words, of trading talk...
At least the anime/manga will have visuals with the talking, in case I need to look elsewhere if they go into some speech on trading...
