Yess!! My favorite boys are back and now we get to explore the ending of the last volume! I still have so many questions but hopefully, they'll be answered in the next volume!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC which I received in return for an honest review.

Before I start my review I want to thank Netgalley for providing volume 4 of A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation.
In this new volume we will see our protagonist interact with new characters, more specifically a half-snake mercenary, who is attracted to lizel and wants to join his group, he is even willing to leave the group of thieves that he leads.
In this volume we are shown more of this new character, we are told his story and how he ended up leading a group of thieves.

I have to be honest although I like the story, I feel that everything is happening slowly, we have 4 volumes about 20 chapters in total and we still do not know how Lizel got to the new world, nor who is the main villain, we are only in the long road to the growth of the protagonist, in this case of the secondary ones, since we are shown that they are maturing as they interact with Lizel.

Anyway, it is a good story to pass the time, and it reads quickly, but I would like to have more action and not so much introduction to the characters.

for me this volume deserves a 3.5 out of 5.

A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation, Volume 4, by Misaki, Momochi, Sando is the latest volume being adapted from Misaki's is original A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation light novel series by Momochi and Sando , who helped bring the series to life as a manga with their character designs and artwork.

Lizel and Gil finally flush out their mysterious attacker and settle the score with him, but it seems the assailant isn't quite the threat they initially believed him to be.Is it possible this former foe could actually be a new ally? Maybe so... but first he'll have to convince them to give him the chance he knows he deserves! 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 so he might as well enjoy the otherworldly vacation for now.

The forth volume of A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation is a solid continuation of the story. Relationships continue to grow and characters get to grow quite a bit in the process. Fans of the previous volumes will want to read this and continue the tale, but this is very much a series that needs to be read in order. In fact, a reread of previous installments might serve readers well depending on how long it has been since they read the previous part. As someone that has read some of the light novel series, it took me a bit to figure out where I was in the story, which was made more challenging by some formatting issues in my digital galley- which I fully expect are fixed in the final version.

We start with Lizel and Gil going to see the play featured in the last volume, where Lizel steps in to help when a performer is injured, and something goes amiss. Eleven gets a back story, and tries again to join Lizel's party- this time, he has something real to offer. Judge's shop was robbed while he was away visiting his grandfather, and Eleven has information about how the merchant's guild is handling it. While he still doesn't get to join the party, Lizel and Gil invite him to go to a dungeon with them, and a good time is had by all!
Not much intrigue in this volume, but the camaraderie throughout is so much fun! It was nice seeing so many light moments. Lizel just keeps adding to his harem, and I think Eleven will add a wild-card element to things. When's Volume 5 out?

Again a good volume. However, I was a bit sad we didn’t learn much about Lizel. This volume focused on Eleven, his past, as well as his present life and his relationship with Lizel. I got to admit, he is very cute and quite a funny character; he kind of reminds me of a puppy sometimes. In terms of adventure, I felt like it was less intense than in the previous volumes but overall, I enjoyed it a lot. I can’t wait for volume 5
I recommend this series to anyone looking for some adventures with loveable characters
5/5

As always, this manga doesn't disappoint. Vol. 4 gives us more of Gil and Lizel, while also introducing a new character (who is easily becoming one of my favorites). The plot is developing and the characters become more and more fleshed out as time goes, and it is really hard to put it down!
The artwork is so gorgeous, I know I've said this before but really, you have no idea how beautiful it is. I think it gives the reading experience a whole new dimension. The dialogue is always witty and overall, all these little details make for the perfect fantasy manga. I'll be eagerly waiting for Vol. 5!

I am utterly in love with this series.
The art. The visuals. The storytelling. The pacing. The characters.
It has everything I could want from a series and more.

In this volume, we get a continuation of Volume 3's theater storyline. But, we also get a lot of backstory about the intriguing Eleven, a character recently introduced in small doses. I loved his character, and the way that Lizel responds to him.
As always, Gil and Lizel's friendship is so remarkably well written. I can feel the brewing bromance/romance between them, but I also love their friendship and their natural chemistry with each other. Gil began as standoffish and separate from the rest of the adventurers, but Lizel really brought him out of his shell, and I love to see how much more often he smiles and appreciates Lizel's hidden talents. In contrast, Gil is helping Lizel to become more self-aware, more world-aware, and really trust in himself and his instincts.
I always give a little internal squee whenever Judge and Studd appear. I have this sneaky feeling Lizel is trying to set them up with each other, which would just be the cutest thing ever!

Review

4 Stars!

A delightful low stakes romp through a magical world with our guide Gil and the ever charming Lizel. Going to the theater, meeting new characters, friend nor foe can resist Lizel! I maintain that this is a harem romance, but we’ll see how the other volumes go!

Looking forward to more adventures with these three, and seeing how their very different personalities interact!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Tokyopop for the egalley!

It’s so great to be back with Lizel and Gil! I always love their adventures and especially their banter and friendship. But this one was even more hilarious now that Eleven has been added to the cast.

I like Eleven as a character for sure! He’s kind of annoying but in a way that digs it’s roots into your heart so that you have no choice but to love them and root for them along the way. I think his storyline has so much potential with Gil and Lizel.

This was another solid volume in this series and as always I cannot wait to read more about all of them.

4/5⭐️

Vol. 4 of A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation was an enjoyable continuation of this fantasy adventure series. This volume saw a new character come to the fore, and I loved his interactions with Gil and Lizel. This volume offered character and plot development as well as another fun battle scene, alongside the usual excellent illustration and amusing dialogue. I am keen to see how the story will continue in volume five.

I got this new fantasy adventure vibe from the world in this manga.
I love that this volume focuses on a new character but not deviating on the two main characters here.
Lizel is a fresh main character here as he's so calm and able to think what's better for him in the present.

I'm still expecting more to happen in the future for the series.

Thanks to NetGalley and Tokyopop for an e-ARC copy.
