Magic Book to Start from Zero


Alt Names: alt ゼロから始める魔法の書alt Grimoire of Zeroalt Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Shoalt Zero Mahou
Author: Kobashiri Kakeru
Artist: Iwasaki Takashi
Genres: Adventure AdventureComedy ComedyDrama DramaFantasy FantasySeinen Seinen
Type: Manga (Japanese)
Status: Ongoing
Description: Year 526 of the Liturgical Calendar.
The world knew that witches existed, and that they practiced the notorious art of sorcery.
Nevertheless, the world did not know anything about the study of magic.

Our story follows a half-man, half-beast mercenary; humans mockingly call his kind the “fallen beasts”.
He always dreamt of becoming a human, but one day, he met a witch who would change his life forever.

“Do you desire a human form? Then be my escort, mercenary!”

The witch introduced herself as “Zero”, and explained that she was searching for a one-of-a-kind magical tome that bandits had stolen from her lair. Entitled “The Book of Zero”, the grimoire supposedly contained valuable magical knowledge that could be used to effortlessly bring the world to its knees.

Thus, in order to realize his dream of becoming a human, the mercenary must accompany Zero on her journey—despite her being one of the witches he so loathed.

This is the story of a haughty sorceress and a kindhearted beast.

Found this a few days ago and liked it enough to translate the first chapter. I’m not going to be doing any more, partly because I’m busy enough as it is and partly because it’s based off a light novel series, which probably means that in some order, the original novels will start getting a crappy machine translation and it’ll become the Next Big Thing™ online, it’ll get an anime and everyone will say it was always crap because now people like it, and it’ll get licensed and taken down and grown men will lose their shit over having to pay actual money for things, if the past is anything to go by. Also it has a lot of text so translating it takes effort.

 

OMG that made me laugh so hard. It's so true. I got interested in this series after finding Zero in a desperate search for magic users who wear tiny shorts (long story) and the first thing that went through my head was "Oh, it's a light novel. Let's see if there's a manga so I can get the gist of it before the inevitable anime and crapstorm of people complaining about it happens."

Is this manga monthly? Or is Psylocke just taking a while to release the next chapter?

Neither, this is from their site:

Yoshinori-sensei might just be a lolicon

>claims to be a lolicon

>denies accusations of being a pedo

 

Make up your mind nigs. You either like kids or you don't. Can't have 'em both ways.

 

 

Why can't we have it both ways?  After all, Man is inherently a hypocritical creature anyway.

 

Besides, consistency is a trait that makes it too damn easy for the FBI to track us, you know?

This is quite interesting

Is anyone translating the light novel yet? I don't see it on NovelUpdates.

Actually I've been wondering.. from what anime this loli come from  (´・ω・`)

 

Ichigo Mashimaro (Strawberry Marshmallow)

 

For the manga go here -> http://vatoto.com/comic/_/comics/ichigo-mashimaro-r2858

For the anime Sentai has recently announced they will be releasing the TV show in DVD and BD in April 2016  http://www.sentaifilmworks.com/shows/strawberry-marshmallow

I am a Simple Man. i see lolis i press Follow

Loli and Bestiality?? Follow

Thats not how I understood it.

 

It seems like :

 

- Witch uses magic to create supersoldier

- Has X generations of descendants

- Witch dies

- Supersoldier dies

- Supersoldier spell tried to return to witch, but can't find witch so it goes to infant in womb of closest living decendant

- Supersoldier baby is born

 

Its no more reincarnation anymore than passing down recessive genes that just happens to activate again in your generation. A woman who grows a badass beard is not the reincarnation of their great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather who famously had badass beard genes.

That's pretty much it, but she does specifically say it's the soul that tries to return to the witch and gets reborn. Whether or not it's reincarnation depends on if she was just being dramatic and meant the spell returns, or if souls really do work like that, but it really isn't that important and isn't brought up again in at least the first three chapters (which is all I've read).

Well technically... it kinda is?

Just a guess:

Nothing to follow, the scanlator said they won’t do next chapters as they already have to much projects going ;)

still follow, forgive me

Well, so long as this doesn't turn into a weird furry fetish thing, I'll be okay with it. God forbid furries start trying to invade.

Hm, I will have to withhold judgement until there are a couple more chapters available. The premise seems good, but the severe amount of "LOLIXFURRY OTP" that is starting to arise from this is slightly worrying. Though who cares about what I think, I am probably the wrong demographic anyway. To anyone who is enjoying this, I hope you continue doing so. It seems to be a great read for anyone interested in these types of stories.

it's a pity. but here are some raws to soften the blow :

This one... actually looks promising. Followed.

I am a simple man, I see a girl on the cover, I read, and I follow.

I always liked the "Non-human x Human paring in adventure" setting, a bit of romance throw in and it would be perfect.

Followed.
