I Got Sent to Another World, but It’s in the Mountains. In Reaction, I Choose Comfort Over Strength.

Ongoing | Jaga butter,Iwasaki minako | 2019 released

25 I forgot how something without harem can be… so refreshing!! I’ve been reading so much garbage lately. There’s a potential FL, but she can hold her own weight and doesn’t depend on the MC or anything. This isn’t just your ordinary “slow life” manga. I quite like how spirits are a large focus on the manga. Plus, he’s literally befriended gods?? Bro is OP but not in the typical way… yet still OP.

Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle ~The Black Mage Who Got Kicked Out of the Hero Party Due to His Unnecessary Debuffs Gets Welcomed by the Top Brass of the Demon King's Army~

Ongoing | Mitaka hozumi,Kaidou jeiichi | 2019 released

27 Unique concept. No harem. Good pacing, albeit on the slow side. A female love interest who’s not that annoying… There are lots of positives to this manga. I like how it flips the table and shows the monsters’ perspective on fighting heroes. I also enjoy how there isn’t really a main antagonist in the typical sense. the mc is rivals with his childhood friend (and they are very gay. jk). i will always enjoy bromance, but aside from the MC and the hero, everyone else feels pretty one-dimensional. i want to like this more, but i can’t. who knows, this may be your cup of tea tho

The Civil Servant Hunter’s S-Class Resignation Log

Ongoing | | 2022 released

So interesting! I like the characters, and the storytelling is both subtle and masterful. The art is very good at communicating that. The characters all have their own quirks and things that make them THEM. They’re all very distinct. I like the MC’s abilities, too. A sniper ability? Very cool. The action is pretty good, and I like that this has male characters that aren’t necessarily love interests. I just find the upcoming romance subplot a bit weird. *SPOILER WARNING* It looks like the ML is the system administrator, but I personally have trouble fathoming how they could have a romance… I was hoping the returnee would be the ML, but oh well.

The Savior's Book Café in Another World

Ongoing | Izumi kyouka (和泉杏花),Oumiya (近江谷),Sakurada reiko | 2019 released

Very cute manga with fluffy romance! My only qualm is the racism… It’s very clear that the antagonists are middle eastern caricatures even though we don’t see them that often. i liked how they’re about the same age! and a more mature and understanding couple. you don’t see that too much in the manga, but the extra chapters conveyed that. they were cute (and a little spicy) as well. Mostly heartwarming read. Youta wasn’t too bad of a character imo.

The Forsaken Saintess and her Foodie Roadtrip in Another World

Ongoing | Yoneori,Nana kogami | 2019 released

this is pretty good! very light and calming read. i ofc love the food elements. all the side characters are generally charming (e.g. vil and aria). i just want more!! 16.2

The Villainous Duke’s Special Rice Cultivation Method

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Kind of mid. I like the farming aspects ig? Schan (likely ML) has a tragic backstory yada yada. It follows the same template as I’ve seen a lot of other isekai. the art is also mid (personally don’t like how the eyes are drawn a lot of the time). the mc’s personality is just too simple for me

I was Pleased to Make a Parfait for the Demon King

Ongoing | Ryu kaname | 2019 released

I thought this would just be a cute manga about making sweets in the demon realm, but it’s actually a lot darker than that. gon’s past is such a mystery, which makes his character even more intriguing. all of the other characters have great designs. all of them are really interesting, maybe even more so than the MC tbh… anyway, i want more!

Milady Just Wants to Relax

Ongoing | mochizuki beni,kajiyama mika | 2000 released

This is furry propaganda. Jk jk. They were not kidding about the reverse harem tag in this one. Literally everyone in the story likes the MC. It’s the same cliché plot where the MC undervalues herself and actually has quite a lot of merit. I want to love this, but her age really puts me off. Wdym she’s 16 and one of the potential MLs is 24??! Barf. Everyone except the MC is so annoying. The characters are all kind of flat… no growth happening. If you don’t mind that, this is a pleasant, fluffy read.

Please Give Me the Pacifier

Ongoing | Ja Eunhyang, 자은향 | 2000 released

Actually really good! It’s very enjoyable watching the baby MC being so resourceful and cute. Her character is pretty realistic! I like that you can really tell she has the mentality of an adult woman in a child’s body. She’s very guarded, which makes sense. I love the art, especially the way the artist draws Charente (i’m not a simp i swear). this manhwa is a good execution of the neglected illegitimate child trope. there is obvious character development, and not everything is black and white. the characters are complex. the mc, for example, has done a lot of bad things but is trying to make up for it in her own way, same goes for her uncle and grandpa. the world setting also feels unique with the ruins and ancient artifacts. my only qualm is the slow pacing. 81 eps and she’s only five years old? huh..

The Fake Duchess In Distresss

Ongoing | U_j,Haesa | 2022 released

At first, the romance is very slow, but I think the payoff is pretty good. I like that the MC is a businesswoman! She’s capable, and seeing her plans in action is satisfying. This has its clichés, but I like the execution. There is no miscommunication. The leads stand as firm equals, and they express their true feelings toward each other, unbound by their initial contract! Refreshing story, and the art is so beautiful ^^ I like how this isn’t purely romance and how’s there are primary slice of life elements.
