Aseo the Tarnished’s search for more Great Runes brings him to the sorcery academy of Raya Lucaria, where the headmistress is none other than Ranni’s mother, Queen Rennala! Ranni asks Aseo to claim her mother’s Great Rune without killing her. However, when Aseo sets foot in the Grand Library of Raya Lucaria, he finds that the Queen of the Full Moon isn’t quite what he expected. Soon, he’s caught up in another frenzied fight…with a conclusion nobody could ever see coming! New friends, familiar faces, action, adventure, and cats(?)―all await Aseo as he starts on a quest for treasures galore!

Aseo is after his second rune in this delightful absurdist comedy that still manages to contain a huge chunk of the lore and plot of Elden Ring. The Tarnished follows Ranni's advice to go after her mother's rune and that leads them to the land of lakes, wizards, and overextended mothers with too many undead children. I had a lot of fun with this one but it is also a contest decided by super Ranni fanboys versus any skill on our hero's part. Which is good because he has (almost?) none.

Back into the game! so I decided to read more of the nonsense manga.

Still fun, still just for fans.

Special mention to Yura's dumb spawn distance gag and Rennala being accurately depicted. Wonder if Aseo will ever become bloodthirsty like a true souls player.

Toujours aussi joli ! Et j'aime l'humanité des personnages qui se dévoilent peu à peu...

El dibujo es una pasada,el humor es algo absurdo,pero es necesario haberse pasado el juego para disfrutar del manga y echarse unas risas.

This series is starting to lose steam, but the art is still very good and some jokes still hit.

[Chris Lemmerman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Aseo choosing to do literally any other side-quest instead of going to Caelid is very much a mood, fuck that place, for real.

doing every possible side quest to avoid going to caelid is such a mood

Boc is baby.

Toujours très drôle, à l'image des trois premiers tomes ! J'ai hâte de lire la suite, lorsque l'auteur reprendra la série après avoir terminé le DLC ! :)

Che dire, questo manga riesce sempre a stupirmi rendendo meme tutte le cose importanti su Elden Ring ma senza snaturarle.
