call me gay i don't care, but MC is handsome

(first time in my life i said this, i swear to God)

Seconded. :3

I dearly hope the wife is going to grow a personality.

She already has one: shy/awkward/clumsy.  Of course, we're only 2 chapters in, so unless she was spouting off on every page, we wouldn't know too much about her, especially since the story seems to mostly be told from his perspective.  Starting a new book is kind of like a relationship: it needs some time to grow.

given most of he thing about this manga is good art is simply too lacking it hurts the whole feel of the story,author really needs to work on it ,and that to seriously,though after all said and done MC is kinda cool

Already hilarious

Thick arms are not exactly a sign of strengh, though. Look at Bruce Lee, he had thin arms, while many obese people have arms like legs and can't do shit with them...

 

Oh, I was just joking, and I wasn't talking about actual strength or anything like that. It's just that in that panel, his arms look disproportionately thin compared to his dorito chip chest, which threw me off. I haven't noticed it since, so it was a one time thing. :)

Hmm possibly, the characters are certainly a little similar.

I'm not quite sure why spoiler tags were used here but I just wanted to say that when you mentioned Kongou Banchou, I immediately thought you were referring to Kongou from KanColle

This from a man whose arms are sticks compared to the rest of his body.

I honestly throught the border of the panel cut it off. I soon found out I was wrong. lol

"I smelled blood" That's some nice PTSD you've got there friend.

No, it is a name which is mostly used in Europe and russian speaking countries and is exactly pronounced L-E-A, or maybe Leya or Leja since you can't pronounce Valayuha or something like that.. it is Valeria. 
Valeria->Leria (which is also sometimes used)->Lea (without the "ri")


No matter the origins of the word, you are not helping to explain how it actually is pronounced. By saying that it is "exactly pronounced" some way, you should be using words that have sounds that everyone pronounces the same way, or use the phonetic alphabet. If I were to "exactly pronounce" L-E-A, it would be "El E A", which I'm sure that's not what you meant.

His reaction in context... 
After saying he pushed her too far last night" then saying "I smelled blood" seems more like he was apologizing in a way and giving an explanation for how he acted. This suggests he gets excited or at least in a reactive mood when he smells blood. This COULD be like PTSD, but given my time in the Army, if he associates blood with the thrill of being in battle, it could also be that he got extra excited by the smell and so he got a bit rough and tumble while they did the horizontal mambo. 

I do like the slow pacing. It gives us time to see how these little changes are magnified for those of us who got used to the whole "being out till the sunset" military folk. 

I personally have occasional moments where it's like "I have nothing to do? I can just... sit inside my house? Man this is odd...". So I understand the emphasis on such things. It's a shame that we haven't really gotten to know Lea yet though. 

Also, I think I figured out the context for why he would insist on meatiness on Lea: This looks to be a pre-industrial empire, that is, more agrarian, and thus more land based in terms of economy. If you looked more plump, this was because you had a bit of land that gave you lots of food to eat. It's a different mindset than today, but it makes sense in context. 

Moar plz
