The world of Elder Tales was supposed to be fun for everyone, but ever since the 12th expansion pack came out and trapped thirty thousand gamers within its fantastical confines, it's not much fun anymore! Nobody knows how to return to the real world, the food has no taste, and even death is no escape. Since the change, the world has fallen into lawlessness, and a strong guild is a player's only hope for survival. It's amid these dire circumstances that Shiroe sets off across the virtual landscape with his friends Naotsugu and Akatsuki on an adventure of discovery as they try to understand the nature of their new reality. Illustrator Kazuhiro Hara has adapted Mamare Touno's light novel series into a comic that gamers and manga fans alike won't want to miss!

14 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Worth reading even if you watched the anime By S. Tang 07/7/2015: Amazon appears to have separated the Log Horizon light novel and manga reviews. They were originally linked. I am removing the light novel review from this review.I'm addressing these reviews primarily for those who watched the anime. If you haven't watched the anime, you should watch it. Know that this series differs from most other fantasy-based stories in that main character Shiroe is using a support magic class that has very little offensive power. Because he can't fight very well, Shiroe must use his mind to solve the problems of the world that used to be a computer game. In battles, he devises battle strategies that exploit enemies' weaknesses and maximize the power of his friends and allies, who are able to fight effectively. In non-battles, he uses his mind to deal with making this world a better place for all.Warning: Some spoilers ahead.If you've watched the anime, you should be interested in reading the manga. The manga series is based on the light novel, not the anime, so I wanted to know what the differences were. In addition, the anime had a few scenes where I felt information was missing. It is as if the anime was produced for existing readers of the light novel. Thus, I wanted to read the manga (and the light novel) to fill the missing gaps in information. For reference, this particular manga volume covers material shown in episodes 1-4 of the anime.The art style most closely resembles the anime, and since the manga was written before the anime, the anime may have used these designs as reference.Overall, the manga's mood is slightly darker than the anime, and the manga either adds a few extra scenes that adds perspective to the situation or has scenes that are different from the anime. For example, there is a scene of Demiqas (manga spelling) in his Suskino mansion tossing away a tray full of (tasteless) food from a NPC servant that looks strangely like his future wife. The anime doesn't show this at all. In another example, there is a direct reference to people trafficking, but the anime avoids talking about the topic. In the anime, Demiqas just refers to Serara as a "pet," but in the manga, Demiqas had sold Serara before she ran off! Lastly, the fight with Demiqas ends completely differently than the anime and has a much more serious tone overall as well.Taylor Engel provides the English translation of this manga, and the translation is very competent, keeping Japanese honorifics and translating sound effects in tiny font. It looks like the translation follows the light novel, as some words are different from the anime. Anybody coming from the anime should not have much trouble adapting. For example:My liege (manga) My lord (anime)Crescent Moon League (manga) Crescent Moon Alliance (anime)Catastrophe (manga) Apocalypse (anime)Great Temple (manga) Cathedral (anime)Captain (manga) Chief (anime)Sewn-Bind Hostage (manga) Thorn Bind Hostage (anime)Briganteers (manga) Brigandia (anime)Machiavelli in Glasses (manga) Villain in Glasses (anime)The last three are probably the biggest changes. I actually like "Thorn-Bind Hostage" better, because that is actually accurate to what the spell looks like in the manga and anime. "Briganteers" sounds weird compared to "Brigandia" and at first I didn't realize it was the name of the guild. However, "Machiavelli in Glasses" is probably more accurate than "Villain in Glasses" given the way Shiroe's planning is able to manipulate people to take specific actions that he can exploit.In particular, I am very glad the translated manga kept the name of Elder Tale expansion as "Homesteading the Noosphere" as this expansion title is also the title of an essay written by Eric S. Raymond about open-source software development. And, Elder Tale is software that the Adventurers modify in certain ways to adapt to the new world order.As with most English manga these days, the paper quality is thin and feels only marginally thicker than newspaper. This is probably a cost-saving measure, since there are so many pages in a manga volume. I really wish the pages were a bit thicker. The cover, however, has an adequate glossy finish.The only major criticism I have with the manga is with the type face and lettering used for the supplemental information sections preceding most chapters. These are the sections providing extra information about the character classes and the Catastrophe. The background is black but the white font the publisher used is very "skinny," such that it is actually difficult to read the text. Some letters like lowercase T, F, and L end up looking the same. The text in the actual manga panels are fine, so I don't know why the publisher did this only for the the supplemental information.In conclusion, if you've seen the anime, the manga is still worth your time reading. I find the manga to have a better translation than the anime, and the manga scenes provide slightly better perspective on characters and situations.

It Expanded The Anime Well By MereChristian I started watching the first season of Log Horizon last year as it was simulcast on the internet. I managed to get in on the story only a few episodes in and really enjoyed the dynamic. It told a fun story that didn't exclude action in lieu of intellectual pursuits or strategy. Oh, the strategy was key, but the importance of both planning AND acting were both emphasized.The story begins when a popular old-school MMORPG (Massive multiplayer online role-playing game) releases it's 12th "expansion pack", thus making the story bigger for experienced players to have more fun stuff to do.To explain for anyone not knowing, the MMORPG is like the big never-ending online games like World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, so on. Expansion packs have to be constantly released to update and keep the story going. Elsewise, players will beat the current content, get bored and not play anymore. Not just for the beginning of the series, but for plots later on, these concepts are important.Anyways, for some unknown reason, when the newest expansion pack is released in Japan (being released by time zone, thus Japan is the earliest one to get it), every single player in the entire world who was logged in online was somehow sucked into what is either the world of the game or a world based upon the game.To say the least, there is despair and anger. There is also the refusal to recognize different realities and thus horrendous crimes and horrors are perpetrated by the "Adventurers" (the player characters), who now have super-human abilities.In the midst of this, we have our first main characters, the trio of Shiroe, Naotsugu, and Akatsuki. Shiroe and Naotsugu are old friends in the real world too, and Akatsuki is an old acquaintance of Shiroe who needed his help with something important. Upon receiving said help, she joins them on their journey to learn about and survive this new world until the can escape.Some old friends of Shiroe, Marielle and Henrietta need help, though, to save a girl stuck in another city who is being pursued by some nasty fellow trapped players like the ones described earlier. Shiroe, wanting to make some difference and knowing his companions stand the best chance of success, volunteers to rescue the girl.This is one of my most anticipated series for both manga and light novel (in a few weeks on April 21) of the year, along with The Devil Is A Part-Timer. I love the dynamic that is faithfully reproduced from the cartoon, but without the minor censoring of said production.The art wasn't terrific, except for the one area that had a similar impact of beauty. That is sad because this story could do so much better with more vivid art.I think the characters were well-portrayed and I can't wait for the next volume of the manga and the light novels too. Highly, Highly Recommended.

I assume both the manga and anime are faithful to the light novel, but I don't know. The manga is essentially the same story so far as the anime, which is what one would expect. I like that it focuses on the thoughts and actions of characters that didn't get as much spotlight in the anime whenever possible. All in all, it's a nice book to keep in the drawer next to the toilet. Something to do while you wait, so to speak.
