• 0:03
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:06
  Talk. I'm your host Robert, and today
• 0:08
  I wanted to dive into a couple of series that I read recently
• 0:12
  that I enjoyed for very different reasons.
• 0:15
  A couple of actually Romance series.
• 0:19
  First off, being past the Monster Meet Milady volume one,
• 0:27
  which is so the manga of this is by Chica Mizube, but the
• 0:33
  original light novel is by Kanada Hoshi and the character
• 0:38
  designs by Pepperon and the other series is how to how to
• 0:44
  treat a Lady Knight Rite lot. Lots of tongue twisters with
• 0:50
  both of these, and this one is done by Kengo Matsumoto.
• 0:57
  So both of these series are published by Kodachi Comics and
• 1:04
  like I said, I read both of them recently and I'll have time
• 1:08
  stamps of when I'm going to talk about which.
• 1:11
  But just speaking overall in general, I was just kind of just
• 1:15
  browsing through. So Netgalley is a site that I
• 1:19
  use to kind of keep up with upcoming releases and stuff and
• 1:23
  sometimes they give me access to different series to read
• 1:28
  digitally. And so I saw both of these were
• 1:30
  available. So I was like, you know what,
• 1:32
  I'm going to check them out and stuff.
• 1:34
  So because I I like, I like me a little romance series every now
• 1:38
  and then, but it's going to kind of catch my attention.
• 1:42
  And both of these did, like I said, for very different reasons
• 1:45
  because how to treat a lady knight, right.
• 1:48
  It's kind of a little bit more kind of a little bit more like
• 1:52
  ROM com from at least from the first chapter that I for the
• 1:56
  first volume that I read and then past the Monster Meet that
• 2:02
  one. It does have some comedy
• 2:04
  elements in it, but seems like it might have more of a actual
• 2:08
  structured story. So since I just finished reading
• 2:14
  Past the Monster Meet, I'm going to start with that one first and
• 2:17
  then like I said check the description for top steps if you
• 2:21
  want to jump to How to treat a lady knight, right So starting
• 2:26
  with Past the monster meet my lady.
• 2:29
  So this one kind of caught my attention because in the
• 2:34
  description they said it's a fantasy romance for people who
• 2:39
  are into or who might have enjoyed the series Delicious and
• 2:43
  Dungeon. Which that one has been very
• 2:45
  high on my list of things that I want to check out because I know
• 2:49
  I think that the manga recently ended in Japan.
• 2:52
  So I was like oh maybe I'll read it but it has an anime coming up
• 2:56
  in January and it's going to be done by Studio Trigger.
• 3:00
  So I was like you know what I've waited this long I'll just check
• 3:04
  out the anime when it drops in January.
• 3:07
  But it's it's it says if you love Delicious in dungeon or
• 3:10
  Drifting Dragons, check this out.
• 3:13
  So past the monster meet basically follows a young lady
• 3:18
  named Mephiria who a lot of people refer to her as the
• 3:25
  voracious villainess, all because of her love and interest
• 3:32
  in eating monster meats and monster delicacies.
• 3:36
  So like monster fruits and different things like that.
• 3:39
  And so she's kind of seen as like a weirdo, an outcast or
• 3:43
  whatever. And so she's kind of in this
• 3:45
  weird position to where her stepmother, so her father is a
• 3:50
  Earl. So they're of like, like, you
• 3:52
  know, kind of like low class royalty, but her father's a
• 3:55
  Earl. But her stepmother basically is
• 3:59
  not down with her eating mustard meats and stuff, whatever.
• 4:02
  And kind of told her like, hey, I'm going to give you one year
• 4:05
  to find a husband or she is shipping her off to some place,
• 4:10
  whatever. So, so, yeah, so, so Malfuria is
• 4:16
  at this kind of like a banquet in the Capitol, you know, trying
• 4:19
  to mingle, be social or whatever.
• 4:22
  But of course, everybody sees her.
• 4:24
  She's not dressed in like the prettiest, most extravagant gown
• 4:28
  and stuff, whatever. So everybody just talking down
• 4:31
  on her. And so she's like, man, like, I
• 4:32
  want to find me somebody that that loves me for me, but this
• 4:37
  might not be it or whatever. And even her father was like,
• 4:39
  hey, I'm not going to be super tough on who you pick to marry
• 4:44
  or whatever, but hey, just just pick somebody decent.
• 4:46
  Hey, even if it's just like a a decent night or whatever, I'll
• 4:51
  be cool with it or whatever. So, so so she's here, whatever,
• 4:54
  She's wandering around or whatever.
• 4:55
  And then boom, a monster attacks the banquet and and swoops in.
• 5:03
  Aristide, who is known as the blood mad Duke, he swoops in,
• 5:10
  slays the monster and it's pretty much almost love at first
• 5:16
  sight on both sides because she admires just like how Swifty
• 5:23
  comes in and and kills the monster, whatever.
• 5:26
  And then he is kind of taken aback by her beauty and how she
• 5:33
  kind of stood her ground as this monster was going to try to
• 5:35
  attack her. And she's going to try to
• 5:37
  protect this, like, elderly couple.
• 5:40
  So they kind of hit it off instantly, fall in love in, in a
• 5:45
  sense of she kind of starts geeking out about the monster or
• 5:50
  whatever because she's like, Oh my God, it got his blood on you
• 5:52
  or whatever. This variant of this monster,
• 5:57
  his blood is poisonous and dead as a dust.
• 6:00
  So she's like, spitting off all these monster facts or whatever.
• 6:03
  And then she's like, Oh my God, I did it again.
• 6:06
  I'm gushing over these monsters, but he's going, he's going to
• 6:09
  think I'm a weirdo, but he is infatuated with her knowledge
• 6:14
  and wants to know know more about it or whatever.
• 6:16
  And love story short finds out that, oh, you're the one they
• 6:22
  call the the ferocious villainess, whatever.
• 6:25
  And so basically it just kind of starts to, you kind of start to
• 6:29
  see that both of them have these monikers, these titles, these,
• 6:35
  these nicknames, whatever. They don't really reflect who
• 6:38
  they are as actual people. And so they both kind of
• 6:44
  understand how it feels to be in that position.
• 6:47
  So when she's like, oh, is this the guy that they call the the
• 6:51
  blood mad Duke? And then he's like, oh, is this
• 6:53
  the voracious villain? It's whatever they like.
• 6:55
  So they kind of start to connect or whatever.
• 6:57
  And as she's talking about the monsters and stuff, whatever.
• 7:02
  And she even as a thank you give him like a sample of like this,
• 7:06
  like a jerky that she made from this creature from her home land
• 7:13
  or her like her village or whatever.
• 7:15
  And so he's like, yo, this is super dope, this tastes super
• 7:18
  good or whatever. And like I say, it just
• 7:20
  continues to build from there. And then eventually it's just
• 7:25
  kind of funny like how quickly things go, whatever to where you
• 7:27
  know a little bit later on or whatever she's heading back home
• 7:32
  or whatever. But it's a long journey.
• 7:34
  So end of time it takes for her to traveled by carriage back to
• 7:38
  her, her, her home or whatever. He has sent somebody on like a
• 7:43
  like a golden eagle thing to deliver a letter to her father
• 7:48
  asking for her for her hand in marriage or whatever.
• 7:51
  And so yes, so overall, like I said, I don't want to talk about
• 7:54
  the whole thing, whatever. But like I said it, it was just
• 7:56
  really dope. Like I said, just seeing these
• 7:58
  two characters kind of hit it off and then like I said, seeing
• 8:01
  her love of monsters and stuff, whatever and how to cook them
• 8:07
  and different things like that. And then him having an interest
• 8:11
  in and finding out more and and eating the muscles and stuff
• 8:15
  forever. But he also has a love of
• 8:17
  hunting and stuff as well. And just kind of just picturing
• 8:21
  in the long run how these things are kind of kind of meshed
• 8:24
  together. And like the surrounding cast of
• 8:27
  characters are fantastic. Like like the the Duke, his
• 8:34
  assistant costs. It's just so funny and stuff,
• 8:38
  whatever. Because he's like, you know,
• 8:40
  having to put up with, you know, his shenanigans and stuff,
• 8:43
  whatever and things of that nature.
• 8:46
  And even his older brother, who is like the king or the emperor
• 8:50
  or whatever, is a funny character and stuff too.
• 8:53
  So. So I'm very excited to see more
• 8:56
  of this series and to follow this cast of characters and to
• 8:59
  even see more of the back story. Because it seems like we're kind
• 9:02
  of get like a little bit of hint towards the end of the volume
• 9:04
  that there's some type of back story going on with her mother,
• 9:08
  'cause I'm guessing, you know, if if she's no father's
• 9:11
  remarried or whatever, that her mother's probably passed away.
• 9:15
  And it seems like her mother was doing some heavy research into
• 9:18
  monsters and things like that. And so there's like a laboratory
• 9:22
  that holds all her mother's research and kind of the reason
• 9:27
  why she took on, I guess that research and her love of
• 9:31
  monsters and stuff, whatever. So I'm definitely very
• 9:35
  interested to see where that part of the story goes.
• 9:39
  So they also passed the monster meeting, My Lady.
• 9:42
  Like I said, I kind of rushed through that story.
• 9:45
  But like I said, it is definitely one that I highly
• 9:47
  recommend putting on your radar because like I said, like it is
• 9:53
  the the romance is there, the intrigue and the curiosity of
• 10:01
  like, you know, I can't wait to see all the potential monsters
• 10:04
  and stuff that they're going to hunt and cook and stuff.
• 10:07
  And then like I said, like the the intrigue of what happened
• 10:11
  with her mother and why was her mother researching these
• 10:14
  monsters or whatever. Lots of good stuff there.
• 10:16
  So like I said, so definitely check this out.
• 10:20
  So now jumping over to to how to treat a lady knight, right.
• 10:27
  So this one, Whoops, Where is my mouse?
• 10:31
  Sorry. This one follows Leo Cornelia,
• 10:38
  who is pretty much like one of like the strongest Knights in
• 10:42
  the in the whole realm. She spent pretty much her whole
• 10:46
  life on the battlefield. Like she was trained up from a
• 10:50
  kid to be a soldier and so she knows a lot of people look at
• 10:55
  her a certain way because she has a chiseled physique as y'all
• 10:59
  see in the cover art here and she has scars all over her body
• 11:03
  and stuff, whatever from her battles and stuff.
• 11:06
  But she ends up meeting this guy who I love the name, His name is
• 11:15
  Fooly Dent, who just approaches her one day out of out of out of
• 11:19
  Nowhere and is like, yo, I love you.
• 11:23
  I I I want to be, I want to be with you.
• 11:25
  Whatever. I love you.
• 11:27
  And I'll just stuff whatever. And so she's like, yo, whoa,
• 11:30
  whoa, whoa, You come out a little bit too strong.
• 11:33
  Whatever. And I know you're probably just
• 11:35
  joking. You're trying to make fun of me.
• 11:36
  Nobody can love me, you know, with a body like this and scars
• 11:40
  and stuff. Whatever.
• 11:40
  He's like, no, I love your ABS. I love your chisel physique.
• 11:45
  And hey, no, I love your scars and yada, yada, yada.
• 11:49
  And so the volume just kind of just follows these kind of like
• 11:53
  little vignettes, so to speak, whatever of their relationship
• 12:00
  and their friendships starting to slowly build and to bloom
• 12:04
  over time. And she slowly starts to realize
• 12:07
  like, OK, no, OK, maybe this guy really does like me for me.
• 12:12
  And then him being somebody who is just just there to cater to
• 12:17
  her and just everything he he he wants to go with her on her
• 12:23
  missions and stuff, whatever. He wants to tend to her wounds
• 12:26
  and stuff when she gets hurt after her battles or whatever.
• 12:29
  And so it is just something just just super sweet and super
• 12:32
  wholesome like it. It doesn't seem like it has like
• 12:34
  a super crazy in depth bigger story to it, like like past the
• 12:41
  monster, Meet My Lady, but it still has just thick, just like
• 12:46
  just a sweet, fun wholesomeness vibe to it.
• 12:50
  Because like I said, just seeing her blush and taking the
• 12:54
  compliments and stuff, whatever. And like I said, just seeing
• 12:57
  fully dead, just kind of like fumble over himself, whatever,
• 13:00
  in like a goofy way to try to cater to her knees and stuff.
• 13:04
  Whatever. It it's it's just, it was just
• 13:07
  all around a super fun story to read through whatever.
• 13:12
  So like I definitely look forward to checking out more of
• 13:16
  it as the volumes and stuff come out overtime.
• 13:19
  So but like I said then didn't have did this one also kind of
• 13:21
  had some side cars and stuff as well like his fully has a sister
• 13:28
  that gets introduced that's also a warrior she's more like a head
• 13:33
  to hand combat warrior and stuff whatever.
• 13:36
  So, but I'm saying, so that kind of seeing her and Cornelia kind
• 13:43
  of butt heads from time to time or whatever was just just kind
• 13:48
  of cute to see whatever. So but yeah, so how to treat a
• 13:51
  lady knight, right? That one is also out right now.
• 13:55
  And yeah, like I said, I don't really have too much more to say
• 13:59
  on that one. Like I said, I just kind of
• 14:00
  wanted to kind of keep this one short and sweet.
• 14:02
  Like I said, I just wanted to show some love to both of these
• 14:07
  series and like I said, both romances but on different ends
• 14:12
  of the spectrum and I enjoy them for pretty different reasons.
• 14:16
  So may I. So definitely go check them both
• 14:18
  out. Let me know what you think of
• 14:21
  the series. Like I said, have you checked
• 14:22
  out one or the other or both of them?
• 14:25
  And let me know what you think. And if you have any other
• 14:27
  recommendations like this as well, let me know because like I
• 14:31
  said, I'm always down to find hidden gems to check out stuff
• 14:36
  that maybe a lot of people aren't talking about and stuff,
• 14:38
  whatever. So and like I said, I'm very
• 14:40
  glad that I stumbled across both of these series.
• 14:44
  So like I said, they're both out right now.
• 14:46
  By the time y'all hearing this, both of them published by
• 14:49
  Kodacha though I I think I think How to treat a lady Knight right
• 14:53
  might only be digital. I'm not 100% for sure, but I
• 14:57
  know past the months to meet my lady is both physical and
• 15:00
  digital so by new. So yeah, so that's some cool
• 15:04
  romances to check out. And so as always, you can find
• 15:08
  me everywhere. And Dan is Dan needs to talk for
• 15:10
  all your conversations and thoughts surrounding fatherhood
• 15:15
  and family manga, anime and games.
• 15:19
  And with that, y'all be easy and I'll catch on the next one.
• 15:24
  Peace.
