1. Copy-paste the first line of the URL
2. Copy-paste the second line of the URL (the "ish_.rar" part)
3. Go.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to figure it out on your own.

If by "squishing of text" you mean word-wrap, 4chan does word-wrap on individual posts by inserting line breaks on generation. Now you know.

What the fuck is wrong with you people?! Here you are, fighting and saging a thread that delivers the sweet, sweet nectar know as Dawn of the Silver Dragon Vol. 2! Ignore these trivial quarrels, OP. I thank you greatly.

Everyone keeps saying that, so I don't know whether it's a vocal minority or if the majority of the readers feel that way, but personally? I wouldn't have had it any other way! It would have been too touchy-feely goody-goody-two-shoes to have had the Silver Knights, or even just Celes, regain their composure, defeat Radim and the others, and live happily ever after.

That's sort of the whole point and pleasure behind a corruption tale, y'know? THE CORRUPTION. Not only the fact that a good girl becomes a naughty girl, but that the changes are a pervasive and permanent part of who she is. That not being a sex-crazed slave is just as undesirable to her after the fact as being a sex-crazed slave would have been to her before the fact.

My only complaint with this story was that it really should have ended at Volume 2.5 instead of Volume 4 like it did. From where Volume 2 stands, you really only need a couple more chapters to wrap things up. Volume 3 unnecessarily drew things out, and Volume 4 offered a pretty dumb "We've won, girls! ... haha, no we didn't, stupid us!" series of consecutive plot twists.

Oh. And Celes is totally hotter in my imagination as a blonde instead of a white-haired witch. But I guess that's just me.

The problem I had was quite similar. There's that point somewhere in the third volume where I really wanted to see the good guys win, but then suddenly, IN THE GRIMDARKNESS OF THE VAGUELY MEDIEVAL AGES THERE IS ONLY SEX

YES! I'm actually following this series!

I think I would have preferred an ending where they "won" but continued to have constant sex anyway

Vols 1 and 2 are interesting, although it seems Radim has too many tricks/cards up his sleeve. One could say that the story should'e ended when Radim and his partner in crime should've been arrested right there when teh sleeping gas was in the facility when Celes's friend showed up. Instead we get a "oh ho ho! I modified my genes! You're gas is useless!" I'm just hoping it doesn't throw too, TOO many bad twists to the point it becomes repetitive. Although from what you've hinted at vol 4's ending, he pulls another "Radim" no? Or is it the standard "The End?" Deal?

So there's 2 more volumes yet, well, can't complain about that. I just don't want to see the girl's efforts go to waste. If it ends with a win for them, yay for them. If not...well...nice try, shrugs right?

Although speaking of volumes 3 and 4, have the raws ever been put up here? No one's mentioned them before I think until now.

They not only have been put up here; /d/ is where I found them myself. You can Rapidsearch for them fairly easily (I suggest "ginryuu" as the search string), and while the Rapidsearch copy of Volume 4 isn't a proper store-sold manga (it's a collection of the chapters from the monthly magazine volumes it debuted in), it still has every chapter.

>>882711
Yeah, you and I can never coexist happily it seems. Not in the realm of corruption, sex enslavement, and similarly-themed hentai. Not only do you have them escaping slavery but you also have them getting to keep their newfound pleasures of the flesh? "Best of both worlds" much?

Thanks for the tip on the search, found the other 2 in raw format.

3rd volume made things appear like the tide is turning, but when vol 4 hits, pulls another "Radim" when a couple of hypnotized girls kick the crap outta the heroines like nothing. The part that's even weirder [spoiler]is when it seems Radim basically takes over the entire Silver Dragon bridage, but as time passes by, it seems things return to normal, even with Radim in power.[/spoiler] Unless I missed something that is.

Radim's whole gas-evasion thing was total bull. It's like the writer was wrapping up the story with the girls winning, and then said, "I need moar money!" (assuming he's getting paid) So he calls his doctor friend, asks him how someone could survive sleep gas, disregard whatever explanation he gave, and pulled some so-called "plot twists" out of his ass that he randomly came up with just so he could draw things out for, how long was it? 2 more volumes? Gods, this is worse than Near's random victory.

That said, I love how they were corrupted and made into sex slaves. I just don't get off on the hopelessness of the situation. I can usually maintain my suspension of morals and ethics because there's always a slim chance they'll be saved, but not here. That's also why I have mixed feelings about St. Margareta's. I'm hoping the Margareta girls have a bloody revolution.

That also reminds me, those suits or whatever the Silver Dragons whore, how the heck did the girls not suspect that the suits were hacked when the first group of them couldn't move. In vol 3 to 4, another group goes in and falls for the same tactic. That's part of the problem I think on the artist part; adds more 'twists' but less explaining. Plus the girls I dare say were stupid for falling for it twice.

I'm still not getting the ending, despite going through it a few times. There is no rose marks on them indicating hypnosis if there were Materials at the time.

I just read it as another example of that classic theme in sex-enslavement stories -- where the villain uses some outside motivator (be it drugs, hypnosis, or blackmail) to get the girl to have sex against her will at first, but eventually there comes a point where she begins to enjoy it, first on the drugged/hypnotized/blackmailed level and eventually even when she's in total self-control. That natural progression from "I'm actually enjoying it now but I still want to leave" to "I want nothing more than this; please, I beg you, give me more!" That's all that's happening here, I think.

The girls swear allegiance to Radim but continue to operate under the name of the Silver Dragons. (There's this conversation between Celes and Radim near the end where she explains to him that she still considers herself a Silver Dragon and what that means.) Obviously the girls have all been Materialized, but you're right that they're not being forced to act against their wills by means of Soul Pieces -- even Rinpha and the others who are banging the shit out of that one fat cop character and are now calling him Master are doing so of their own free will.

That confuses me about Radim's motives then...aside from Materializing Silver Dragon and gaining a power seat, from what I gather he has no reason to continue his crime spree/illegal operations. If Silver Dragon hunts down crimals and such, and he has no objection to it, then isn't that like a reversal for Radim, who was a crimal, but now is enforcing the law?

I'm still trying to figure out if he's just the head now of Silver Dragon, or has a power seat in the ruling government in the story.

There's also one inconsistency I THINK I noticed in chapter 3 and 4. When Celes's soul piece is smashed, she's no longer controlled. Yet when one of the guy's picks up a piece of it and appears later in chapter 4, the Soul Piece is suddenly whole again, that didn't make any sense. Unless the part he picked up (which looked like a chip of somekind), is the real reason for a Material to be controlled, not just by having the Soul Piece, but what's inside it?
>> Anonymous
>>883909
I found that part of the conversation difficult to read myself, but Rankaku appears to be saying that he was fortunate that they left behind a trace of the the destroyed Soul Piece. If he had not had that, Celes would no longer have been able to be used because (and this is where it gets confusing) he says that if two Soul Pieces had been used consynchronously, Celes's soul would have crumbled. So ... I don't really get why he'd be thanking them, and that's why I think I must be reading something wrong or else the explanation comes later in the volume.

As for Radim's motives, it all boils back down to Celes's father. I forget what it is that he did, but iirc he's not the hero that Celes and the others envision him as. In fact, I think that's the whole "Rose-sama, you must atone for your sins" bit that the male general somberly gives Rose before she's Materialized in Volume 2. Yeah, I just pulled it up (it starts on page "papipo_0605_173" assuming you have the same DL I do), with Radim telling Celes that the truth is, her father didn't die by protecting former King Adonis from an assassin -- according to Adonis (who told Rose, who confessed when being Materialized), Duran Metalias was premeditatively murdered. Celes can't believe that King Adonis would have had her father killed, and Radim goes on to further explain what this means for their relationship. *shrug* It's taking me a bit too long right now and I don't have the time to look up all these random kanji, so I guess we'll just have to sit tight and wait for SaHa to get around to it in the next year or so. Maybe the next few months if someone is that eager to commission it.

Yeah, but the man's (a) got to take a break some time and (b) surely in the mood to taste something different. Asking him to translate four chapters of the same story would already be more than what he usually deals with (since he tends to deal in 20-30 page doujins from the looks of his commissions list), but the man's already been paid to translate FOUR HUNDRED pages from the same story, and he's got another four hundred to go if the person paying him wants Volumes 3 and 4 to finish off the collection.

But the most important (and likely) reason we won't see a SaHa translation for Volume 4 for a while? No officially-printed book for it yet. If it were me and I were paying $1.50 per page, I'd sure as hell want to equip SaHa with the best paper digital thievery or importing could buy. And crappy scans from Comic PaPiPo that don't even have the same whiteness between adjacent chapters are just not that. Until the commissioner finds Volume 4 -- which we ought to know since we'll all be able to find it, too -- I don't think he's going to pay SaHa to do that translation. That's why I say it may be as long as a year before we get it.

That one's easy to explain: The main force never found out how the first team was defeated. The three girls, the sleeping gas girl, and Celes were all captured, with nobody left to report back about the suit-disabling trick or Radim's modified organs or etc.

And while that makes sense in terms of justifying the action, it still makes for some bad pacing. Even for a brainless fucky comic, to just repeat the process of "Oh Noes! Mind-controlled betrayers, sleeping gas, and super-aphrodesiacs, oh my!" several times over makes the action start to get repetitive and boring. Hence the series stops being interesting shortly into volume 3.

Okay, that makes sense I guess, although like>>884587said, it causes some bad pacing (which at how much content has gone by, makes the reader think that the others would've known by now).

With the other knowledge now in mind, so if "Rose" had no idea that the current ruling family got into power becaus the previous one was murdered? Radim's idea of revenge looked liked it stemmed from the fact that the Elf lady damaged his face (Although we don't see the scene). The story is starting to sound more like a dark revenge for a 'greater' good setting, done via evil ways? Okay, I'm confused, LOL!
