That is one strong stump, not easy to remove it with just man power. But as they said, a horse would be quite useful in that situation :D But other than that, nothing much really happen in this chapter.
Should remember that the author is only a human too when wondering why the chapters are so short. Is it just me or is there generally a lot of complaining about waiting and chapter lenghts in manga discussions.
And chapters like these are only expected at this point and forward so he can build the story to lead to somewhere. If Thorrfin suddenly just woke up one day and killed his way out of the farm it would be just silly.
5/5, Loved it. I'm a huge fan of Harvest Moon so I really like the direction this manga is going. I think when they get their freedom they should purchase a bigger farm and a seed mixer. Those are immensely profitable from what I remember in the Nintendo 64 Harvest Moon.
It looks like this whole "slave thing" is like an introduction to a brand new Thorthin....probably he will be cold minded during the fights now. No more bloodrush to the head.....unless someone kills the rest of his family.
