A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation (Manga) #6
A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation, Volume 6
When Lizel mysteriously finds himself in a city that bears odd similarities to his own but clearly isn't, he quickly comes to terms with the unlikely truth: this is an entirely different world. Even so, laid-back Lizel isn't the type to panic. He immediately sets out to learn more about this strange place, and to help him do so, hires a seasoned adventurer named Gil as his tour guide and protector.
Until he's able to find a way home, Lizel figures this is a perfect opportunity to explore a new way of life adventuring as part of a guild. After all, he's sure he'll go home eventually... might as well enjoy the otherworldly vacation for now!

So fun! We a surprise visit through a wall from Lizel's father and His Majesty which was great. Lizel now knows he can travel further from town and proceeds to just that, visiting the ore town. There's hot springs and more entertaining moments with the noble and his collection addiction.
I'm just really enjoying this manga series. On to the next!

I've fallen behind on reading this series, so it took a little bit to remember some of what was going on with the various characters. But this volume actually stands pretty well on its own, with a relaxing, leisurely pace that has some fun settings and a nice break from the dungeon runs.
In an early chapter, Lizel politely refuses an offer to accompany the theatre troupe to a distant mining town, and focuses his attention on what's close to home, like taking l0w-level quests to satisfy his curiosity about things like the recovery potion making process. Gil and Eleven accompany him throughout, of course, and after the potion maker aggressively hits on Lizel and is instantly and firmly rejected, Eleven starts asking a lot of questions about Lizel's "type."
At first, I was getting nervous, because while I don't expect any actual romance to come out of this very male harem-feeling story, it'd be a bummer to get through a bunch of volumes and wind up with a random female love interest. But Lizel's Special Person is, I think, his king from his own country.
Which is...understandable, very sweet in its own way, and just a little bit devastating because I adore Gil so, so much. He had some fantastic material in this volume, too - in particular his solo scene in the bar, where he's surprisingly frank about his own feelings. He seems to understand Lizel's true nature in a way pretty much no one else does - possibly even the king - because while everyone adores Lizel for his gentlemanly appearance and attitude, Gil sees straight through to his selfish core.
Why did Lizel allow Eleven to join their party? Gil muses. And if he was going to allow it, why bother refusing initially? In the end, it's simply Lizel's somewhat fickle nature, taking whatever he wants, but also making others work hard to be close to him. He takes what he wants, when he wants, and on his own terms.
"You basically just said that you belong to him," the bartender says, and Gil laughs a little but doesn't deny it.
I honestly hate that the conclusion of this series might be Lizel returning to his home country and leaving Gil behind. (And Eleven, I guess. I do like him. Just not to the same extent or for the same reasons.)
He does finally manage to speak to the king and to his father, through a magical window that the king briefly opens, channeling the magic in Lizel's earrings. (I liked, too, that Eleven wasn't permitted to touch Lizel, and then a page later, Gil was holding Lizel and cradling his face in his hand, waiting for him to return to consciousness...and very nearly calling his actual name, rather than "Leader.")
I did like the king and wished they could've spoken for longer. Lizel was absolutely beaming when he saw him, and his interaction with his very laid-back father was fun, too. He learned a few important things from that conversation: he is indeed in another world, they are working to bring him back and promise to do so as soon as they can, and in the meantime they're tracking him through his earrings, so he can travel anywhere he likes.
Which means that Lizel immediately decides to go to the mining town he'd clearly regretted not being able to visit - trying to stick close to one location in order to be easier to find, I suppose.
We got a short but nice horseback and camping trip, plus a fun episode in the hot springs, with Lizel revealing an intense scar on his leg that had almost taken his life. Curious to know more about that and more of Lizel's true past, but we'll see how far we get into any of that. At least there was some nice eye candy with all three of them shirtless at various points.

Lizel, Gil, and Eleven finally have time to work their way through some small requests. As they take on various jobs, Lizel's curiosity is on full display. Eleven is also curious---about Lizel himself. But none of them expect what happens when Lizel's former world manages to reach out . . .
This is honestly a very random volume. It's mostly a bunch of short stories loosely strung together, ranging from two small missions the party has accepted from the Guild to a hot springs episode to a surprise contact from the other side.
The short conversation with home is the best part of this volume. Lizel's new companions finally get a glimpse of his father and the Emperor he left behind, and his former friends and family get a chance to talk to him to reassure themselves he's doing okay. I liked that they reaffirmed they're dedicated to getting him back, even if his "vacation" isn't over quite yet--they still don't have all the magic sorted out.
Also, Lizel's dad being just like him was funny. They're having this placid conversation while everyone around them is freaking out.
Overall if you liked the series so far, this is an okay volume. The short stories were fine, but it really is forgettable in the grand scheme of things. Only the contact with home really stood out to me. I rate this book Recommended.

Lizel continues to enjoy his time in this new world. His Majesty finally gets in contact with Lizel using his earrings. Before he gets to talk to Lizel, Lizel's father butts in and starts talking to his son. There is a cute interaction between Lizel and his father. Gil and Eleven gets to see the strong resemblance between father and son when it comes to their nonchalance. Lizel's father tells Gil and Eleven to take good care of Lizel. His Majesty promises that he will be able to figure out how to bring Liz home and that he can leave the town to explore since he can use Lizel's earrings to find him.
I can't wait to read the next volume!

If these six volumes were a chapter book, this would’ve been the final chapter with the “cliffhanger” ending that will never be resolved until years down the line. No, it did not have a cliffhanger or anything like that, but that is the feeling that I get because Lizel is all like “I can finally travel further, so the adventure is just beginning.”
In this volume, there isn’t too much head pats or cutesy scenes which is fine, but I grew to enjoy those moments…. I felt a little sad when my favorite boys didn’t get the love and affection that the deserve from the noble.

Plot?! In MY cozy fantasy adventure series?!? It’s more likely than you think!
Seriously, I’ve been enjoying the soft adventures of these characters but getting a glimpse of future conflict of Lizel waiting for his king was so so satisfying.

Awww, Lizel's dad stole the spotlight 😂 I do want to see what happens to those adorable boys. I hope Gil and Eleven stay with him no matter what.

Lizel is Mum, Gil is Dad, and Judge, Studd, and Eleven are the kids.

Having the first half of the book be about how other people see Lizel was a very interesting approach. I'd be curious to know if these were originally side stories in the light novels.

It's been so long since I read the last volume of this series that there were quite a few characters I couldn't remember the stories for, but it gradually came back to me as I progressed through the story of vol 6.
Most volumes of this series are pretty uneventful (which makes sense given the whole "vacation" concept), but this one felt especially so. There was one exciting advancement to the story, but aside from that — nothing. The first story in this volume felt unnecessary, so it's a shame we had to start with that instead of literally ANYTHING else. That aside, I still had a good time reading this installment. Lizel continues to intrigue those around him to much hilarity, and he's finally begun to venture out of the city to explore other parts of the world! I look forward to seeing how the author will explore that in the next addition to the series.
Good times all around, but not the best! Still, worth recommending, and worth reading.

So much happened in this volume it's hard to know where to start...
Eleven is really beginning to fit in with the team. Judge and Studd are just as crazy as always, though I do love Studd's instant dislike of Eleven and their continual spats. As ever, Gil is the steadying force.
It was great to see Lizel finally getting contact from home. His father was brilliant, and I'm so intrigued by His Majesty.
The little bonus with the bunny ears was adorbs! I can't wait for the next volume.
