You’re not cut out for it, so go back to being human.

The evil that rescued the betrayed princess who had fallen into slavery, nurtured her with care, and provided her with an opportunity for revenge.

Fernan is too much of an evil elite.

How can just an ordinary fisherman, with no backing, demonstrate such a precise talent for entrapping others?

>>7

The power of resentment is terrifying.

Well, it might also be largely thanks to Mercedes.

>>9

Mercedes has big breasts.

It looked like.

Because we let an innocent child die.

Reflect on it.

Too much self-reflection!

>>8

The fact that he can lament the death of the family of his revenge target to such an extent indicates that he is, at his core, a good person who is just driven mad by revenge…

It’s because I’ve seen that the older sister in that house is a good person.

Faithful to the contract like a devil.

Because I will do things that go beyond the scope of revenge.

This is undoubtedly evil.

A man who responds to the reader’s selfish desire to see revenge while wishing for the protagonist’s happiness.

>>12

Readers who read this in the newspaper must have been excited…

“…I wonder if they were thinking, ‘Wow, this is really long!'”

On one hand, there are detestable enemies, but on the other hand, you could say I am blessed with good people around me.

>>18

That’s the kind of place it is.

Because I’m a demon of revenge, I will die miserably in a duel!

I’ll leave plenty of inheritance for the sake of the wrapped-up Ed!

>>19

It wasn’t a demon, it was a damn idiot!

>>20

What Edmond Dantès can offer is just that, so it’s safe!

>>21

He has grown into a good young man, so let him marry the princess…

It’s a bit funny to think that if Mercedes weren’t a good person, she might have died in a duel.

Like, more… like an invincible person…

>>25

Education that swallows both the pure and the impure received from intellectuals while imprisoned!

The will to do whatever it takes to complete the revenge!

The kindness to repay a favor no matter what!

The weakness of not being able to abandon those in trouble!

A lot of money!

Invincible!

>>63

This place is surprisingly big.

You’re doing bad things, but you’re trying to minimize harm to others as much as possible, and you’re really regretting it, so you’re not cut out to be the demon of revenge.

Was Napoleon considered such a bad guy back then?

To the devil

Become…

I think I was having a great time until I went to Villefort’s house and met Edmond Dantès…!

N-No… I wasn’t planning to go that far…

There are things one is suited for and things one is not, right?

When they sent me by ship to search for treasure, I was such a nice guy that the crew didn’t leave me on the island easily.

This is the appearance of a man who has become synonymous with revenge…

>>38

The world’s greatest avenger.

(It feels good to see it from various angles.)

>>38

That said, every scene where they are directly cornered and seek revenge properly breaks their hearts…

No one has the right to complain when they have abandoned their children or driven their parents to death.

Revenge doesn’t create anything, but it feels good to do it!!

Just at the beginning…

It’s truly a sin to have driven a good-hearted sailor, who is not suited for revenge, to this point…

Is the recent movie I watched not coming to Japan?

It’s paper, ink, and a pen!!

It was all fun and games until the first person…

>>47

I’m about to fail with the first person, due to a woman’s tears.

Because they are serious good people at their core, it makes it painful for us to watch.

It would be easier if I could be more brutal…

I really think they did a good job of compiling it into one book…

You can also become a villain! (maybe)

Because they couldn’t abandon their fundamental goodness, there is a sense of a happy ending.

I thought Fernan was an evil genius, and it’s true that he has a high ability to measure timing, but the fact that he uses any means necessary and is actually being looked down upon as a scumbag by the surrounding nobles, even though the truly terrible things he’s done haven’t been exposed, makes it clear that his talent is limited to evil acts.

>>54

I’m glad you have strong Mercedes genes, son.

Investment fraud through information manipulation has been around since around this time, huh?

Killing a child conceived through an affair to cover up the evidence, what is that all about, judge?

What do you mean it’s so bad that I wrongfully imprisoned my best friend, stole his girlfriend, joined the military, betrayed the king who took care of me abroad, killed him, and sold his wife and children to a slave trader?

>>59

Ask your wife and children.

>>59

You really got along well with your friends, didn’t you, Edmond?!

>>61

It’s just that he’s my fiancé’s cousin, so we aren’t exactly friends; it makes it awkward to interact with him, which is a bit troubling.

Well, I thought that since you were celebrating on the day of the ceremony, we would be friends from now on!

>>59

The French Parliament will decide.

If the avenger becomes a demon who can sacrifice anything for revenge, the impression from the readers would naturally turn negative.

“Revenge for a grudge, but also repay kindness.”

If you get too many people involved other than your enemies, it’s like being hurt by your own actions.

There is no such humanity.

It was quite an accident that what started as a drunken rant and slander ended up in actual imprisonment…

>>64

You’re sneakily taking Mercedes away with full force, aren’t you?!

>>72

It was originally impossible, but now it seems doable.

I made it.

Did the first time go so well beyond their will that the brakes broke…?

>>66

Since my fiancée, who was taken from me in the first instance, asked me to at least forgive our unrelated son, my ability to hold back is quite strong.

Mercedes has been burdened with regret for a long time, but young Albert, being a noble person, has saved her just in time.

>>77

Isn’t it about Fernan?

>>77

Though Albert is treated as noble, isn’t it rather strange that he harbors resentment for having his father’s sins exposed?

Even if it may seem unrelated, if you actually committed a crime, I have the right to criticize you. Moreover, if you are the master of the victim, you are not unrelated at all.

Maybe it wasn’t strange according to the values of that time.

>>130

Isn’t it a mark of nobility to acknowledge shame and withdraw once you understand the circumstances, even after challenging someone to a duel out of resentment?

>>130

If a person grew up straightforwardly, they would first believe in their father and think that if there was someone who set things in motion, it would be that person’s scheme, wouldn’t it?

I thought that way and rushed ahead, but my mother told me that the right one was that guy, so I reconsidered.

>>139

Well, even before her mother said anything, Princess Ede had been saying it was fine, and when she realized that Edmond was the victim, she seemed to apologize, which made it look like she was acknowledging her father’s crime while focusing on who condemned him.

>>130

I don’t know how much the values of France at that time were.

In a feudal society, revenge is mandated, and one cannot maintain their social status without washing away their father’s shame.

The guy who intentionally leaked information for a bribe seems like he might get killed afterward, but I wonder if he’s okay.

Father… please guide me.

Am I really going to use such a poor child for revenge…!!

Whether to involve the enemy’s relatives is part of the allure of revenge stories.

Especially people who are blood-related.

Without a doubt, the most amazing character in the story is Fernan.

Why is a fisherman becoming an earl?

If I were Edmon, I might think it’s a case of mistaken identity???

A synonym for revenge that is not suited for revenge.

From the reader’s perspective, Vilfort’s second wife and her son are characters that are not worth much even if they die, while the kind-hearted and righteous Valancine survives, so it seems okay…

I thought I sensed an evil presence in the thumbnail, but it turned out to be a demon that killed an innocent child unrelated to the revenge plot.

>>79

Response from the Attorney General

Could it be a masterpiece with an exquisite sense of balance and a satisfying ending for the readers?

Is it true that the second wife is the one who committed the assassination, and it has nothing to do with Edmond?

>>82

Edmond is trying to incite his second wife to administer poison and lead to a murder within the household.

>>86

…Why is Edmond interfering with that?

>>94

Because I realized just before carrying it out that the target was my acquaintance’s partner.

>>94

Maximilian-kun said he loves Valantine-san! He asked for help!

I think the count’s thoughts changed because he was a good person himself and, given the incident with Albert, he realized that involving children was not the right thing to do.

>>82

As for Eloise, since she is plotting to assassinate Valentine to have her biological child inherit the fortune, the count is really uninvolved.

>>82

The disguised count is whispering about poison to his second wife, so it’s related.

Princess?… I thought so, but did they translate Princesse as “princess”?

I feel like it’s quite a big mistranslation.

>>84

I don’t really understand, but is the nuance quite different in the original text…?

>>102

I think there was a version translated as “Pasha’s daughter,” but I don’t know what status Pasha holds…

>>111

It seems difficult to judge just by hearing it; it looks like you’re going to need local knowledge from that time.

I don’t really know about the novel, but maybe in the manga version, it had to be condensed into a single volume, so they might have replaced characters to make it clearer.

>>84

So what is the proper translation?

>>104

Is she a princess because she’s the daughter of a local lord?

It can only be said that Fernan, who succeeds at everything, is loved by fate.

>>85

It’s amazing how someone with such a fragile mentality, easily broken if abandoned by their wife and children, could continuously resort to such despicable means.

After the family’s actions were revealed, it’s hell for them as they said they would cut ties with their father.

The reason for being imprisoned was because of Vilfort and Noirtier…

Why do I have to protect the daughter of my vengeance target?! It’s unavoidable because she’s the girlfriend of my mentor’s son, but still…

Someone who’s trying to get revenge shouldn’t just decide to die because of an ex-girlfriend’s tears.

>>89

But you know… it’s still the same old Mercedes that I loved…

>>95

I’m really glad that my spirit has remained the same as in the past!

I feel really sorry for being too down when I think I’ve been betrayed by Mercedes, but it makes me laugh.

Even though Ede is trying to approach in a sexy outfit, I scold them a bit, saying that it’s not okay to wander around in such a sloppy outfit, even if I’m the only one at home.

>>97

A piece of trash that can only see things from a father’s perspective.

“Don’t kill my son in the duel! (Die!) I was going to accept that honestly, no matter how you struggle, you’re too good of a person…”

The adaptation was quite faithful to the original work, with Edé’s heroine power significantly increased.

>>99

The author’s ability to construct is amazing, isn’t it…?

I guess I have no choice but to die…

Ah, I have to pass the inheritance to Ed.

>>105

You idiot!

I thought it was a bit sad that Valentine said she didn’t want her brother-in-law to suffer the consequences of his sins, but when she woke up from her death-like state, he was already dead.

>>108

That was unexpected even for Edmond, which makes it tough.

Starting with Mercedes’ erotic scene from the very beginning is a good structure, isn’t it?

>>109

Since it is a popular entertainment novel from the very beginning, it is a precise judgment to include steamy scenes.

The act of destroying a family for revenge is an extremely predetermined path.

“I didn’t mean to feel this way! On the contrary, there are moments when I wonder what kind of calmness I was expecting.”

>>113

At first, I intended to kill everyone.

Later, the Attorney General lost his position due to a scandal of abandoning a child after an affair! His wife is a murderer! He changed his course to live quietly somewhere in the countryside after that.

>>124

Since I’m not originally in such a high position and my mental resilience is too strong, I often overlook the perspective that ordinary people can’t endure when they reach that state, damn it.

>>124

It’s too nice of a day! I have the feeling that it can’t be helped if it’s Edmon-kun…

>>128

If you weren’t a good person, you wouldn’t have been entrusted with the inheritance from Father Faria…

>>124

The content of the gaba-chan is not suited for revenge…

She’s in a princess-like position since she’s the governor’s daughter, but she’s not really a princess.

>>114

It’s not a princess from a royal family, but more like being referred to as “lady” as the daughter of a marquis from the outskirts, something like that?

When Maximilian yelled at you, saying, “Do you have the right to stop my suicide when you couldn’t save Valentine?!” I love the part where I reveal my true identity, saying, “Of course I have the right!”

How about something safe like “princess”?

It’s similar to “prince,” but it has quite a broad meaning.

No matter how terrible the revenge is, adding guilt and anguish towards the victim who got caught up in it, or love for the daughter who was cared for in order to use her or as a benefactor, enhances the character’s undeniable goodness, improving the reader’s impression. Truly a classic that resembles the original of “how satisfying!” stories…

>>118

If you mess up the seasoning around here, it won’t just be unfortunate, it will simply be unpleasant…

I only know about this and the Kodansha Blue Bird Bunko edition, and I feel like I understand.

That’s why the manga is packed into one volume.

Hehe… I am a demon! → N-No, that’s not what I meant… it has a sense of speed.

I understand why the pirates would want to ally with him; he’s a man who made his mark globally.

Why don’t you stop seeking revenge?!

>>126

I can’t forgive the ones who, because of their kindness, allowed my father to starve to death and took away all happiness! Therefore, there’s nothing left to do but let them act until they’re satisfied.

The meaning behind “Princesse” in the Latin-speaking world!

The meaning of titles that correspond to those in other languages but have different origins!

The meaning of Japanese princesses and noblewomen!

The range and nuances are far too different!

I learned about The Count of Monte Cristo from the Gonzo anime version, so the original has Edmond as the main character and he doesn’t die in the end, and also Albert was a side character to begin with, among many other significant changes besides the sci-fi elements.

>>134

The anime version of Gonzo is an adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo titled “Tiger, Tiger.”

>>134

I wanted to animate “Tiger, Tiger!” but I couldn’t get permission, so I took the original work’s motif and adapted it in that direction.

In the original work, Eugenie has no interest in Albert at all.

On the contrary, in that situation, not dueling would be seen as being shameless.

The accusation from the unrelated zone was probably morally wrong.

The entire yuri elopement development was completely cut out to consolidate it into a single volume.

The original work of The Count of Monte Cristo, where you hear things like “You are a man!” or “Are you scared?” is set in a timeline closer to the era of Hasegawa Tetsuya’s Napoleon, so the weight and values of life differ from today!

The Egyptian expedition was amazing! It’s the era of…

It’s a bit disappointing that there wasn’t a part where Edmond finds the treasure and meets Albert.

Everything else is perfect.

>>148

It’s assumed that it will be compiled into a single volume, you know…

From Albert’s perspective, I don’t understand the relationship between the count and his father, so it feels like an unrelated person suddenly exposed it out of mere curiosity.

It’s a justified revenge! No, rather it’s quite gentle, I realized that thanks to my mother’s persuasion.

The count himself barely hides his connections to the criminal underworld and acts like he’s some kind of justice figure despite being a villain!

If you are not a party involved, it is considered an exposure of facts, but it can be thought of as harming someone’s honor with malicious intent.

It seems that the part about having improper malice is emphasized.

Well, legally it won’t work, so it ends up becoming a situation where we have to resolve it with a prohibited duel.

Even Maximilian stopped the duel, didn’t he? He was saying he would duel before, and I heard people saying he had more courage then. I guess that kind of opinion was common at that time.

Thread image’s

Poor thing… (Poor thing…)

Why does the scene have this kind of face?

>>154

“To try to make such an unfortunate girl a pawn for revenge, I’m such a bad guy~”

>>159

It is also a scene where a girl, who might originally not have gotten her hands dirty with revenge, is being incited.

The attributes are too unsuitable for a vengeful spirit… Be prepared to become a wicked demon that can spread more chaos in the world.

>>155

That goes beyond my revenge…

>>155

The count’s revenge is also God’s will, so we must not exceed the parts that God has permitted.

I’m impressed that you managed to put it all together in one book…

I knew it, one book is just not enough!

is coming at the same time.

I don’t particularly want to disrupt social order, nor do I want to hurt anyone other than my target for revenge; rather, I want to help my benefactor…

Edmond is sick!? He’s telling me to leave him alone and set sail!? There’s no way I’m doing that!!

I like the scene where they go to the Morel family and are healed after talking to the target of their vengeance.

Edmond himself has no particular interest in the monetary significance of the treasure of Monte Cristo, so naturally he doesn’t hesitate to use it in advance and doesn’t feel it is worth saving.

At the beginning of the original story, it was around the time when the fallen Napoleon escaped from Elba and returned to Paris, so it’s believable that a skilled sailor could be suspected of helping the ousted dictator return to France… Edmond, the otter…

“Go ahead and expand revenge without limits and mess up the world! But that, on the flip side, means do my revenge too, so I can’t say such irresponsible things to Edmon…”

It goes beyond the authority of revenge! That’s not it.

Well, I’ve been taught various things by the priest, so there must be countless ways to earn money.

>>169

Having a lot of money allows you to earn a lot…

If it’s the request of the son of a former benefactor, then I might as well protect the daughter of my enemy to that extent of goodness.

>>172

Tearing apart a loving couple with a conspiracy is an act on the same level as Fernand!

Father Faria is too strong.

Meeting Father Faria, I learned about knowledge and etiquette, as well as the hiding place of a noble’s vast fortune, and I was helped to escape prison by using his corpse. Could it be that Father was some kind of reincarnation cheat ability gadget like in those light novels?

The manga version’s author is drawing an original serialized story afterward where a devil raises a girl and they become connected like Hikaru Genji (a somewhat erotic) manga, so I guess Ed and Edmond really are the origin of the author’s fetishes.

From the beginning, there’s been continuous talk that “he is a good guy with a lot of followers…” and even after being imprisoned, that evaluation remains unchanged.

When I saw the miter clam, it was written that he is also a researcher of hypnotism like Father Faria in the historical account, and I couldn’t handle it.

I underestimated you, Edmond…! Putting a sleeping spell on a beautiful girl…!

I like how Edmond tries to brush off the priest’s talk about treasure as nonsense.

>>179

(Oh… so this is the delusion of the priest I’ve heard rumors about…)

>>179

(Father… Knowledge is wonderful, and he is like a second father to me, but he is still crazy enough to be imprisoned…)

>>179

Since I’m a sailor, I think I’ve heard a lot of nonsense about treasure like Pirate Kid’s treasure…

The person inferred to be the original source gets caught up with the children of their revenge target and is kidnapped and killed by a friend aiming for treasure.

In the manga version, it’s cut out, but this devil normally uses drugs as a tool to manipulate the opponent’s mentality.

The standards are different now in various ways!

>>181

The mysterious green paste is nice, isn’t it, Albert? With just one spoonful, I’m feeling wonderfully faint!

If you take revenge only on the person who wronged you, it exceeds the authority of revenge.

Hypnosis…

Edmond: “You will forget about me… the horrific memories will be sealed away… you will become the wife of a reliable young man close to your age and find happiness…”

Ede: “It doesn’t work.”
