Katachikubi dashita ossan no ato tsuketara tenkuu no tsurugi wo mitsuketa

I’ve never heard of this web comic adaptation of a fanfic before but I am so glad I discovered it. How I stalked some dude with an exposed nipple and stumbled upon the Zenithian Swordwww(Katachikubi dashita ossan no ato tsuketara tenkuu no tsurugi wo mitsuketa) is a story revolving around a no name NPC villager from Dragon Quest 5 who ends up having his own worldly adventure. The entire thing reminds me of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead with lots of breaking the 4th wall and I love the amazing art by Nikiichi Tobita! 2 thumbs way up!!!
