lilithespark's manga / #another world(276)

“Marie” is an incapable maid. The only thing good about her is her optimistic perspective on life. One day, her heart feels for a sick prisoner on the brink of death she was assigned to take care of. Marie decides to do her best to help him. He reminded her of her mother. Alone in the cell, she felt a pang. The thick walls coated in grime could not stop the shaft of moon’s light filtering in, casting a glow on their faces. “I want to pray one last time for you. Do you have a wish?” the prisoner asks. “Ummm. . .” Marie trails off thinking and finally comes to a conclusion. “I’ve always wanted to be a capable person,” she says. Marie starts listing all the things she would want to be capable of doing capably. The prisoner questions her motives. “If you had all of those abilities, what would you use it for?” Marie falters. “I would. . .” Marie hesitates to admit, “live a life I’ve always wanted.” The prisoner looks at her with a gaze that said everything at that moment. “If I can,” Marie continues, “I want to make everyone happy.” The prisoner closes his eyes, listening intently to her soul’s desire. “That is my wish.” Marie said. The prisoner opened his eyes again. He says, “God would like to make your wishes come true. Tell me your real name.” Panic struck her chest. Her real name? She thought she didn’t have any use for it anymore. It would be okay, right? Just this once. She probably wasn’t going to see him again anyway. . . Before she could stop herself, out tumbled the sound of the name that she had buried long ago. Afterwards, she heads to her quarters and falls asleep. When she opens her eyes, it seems that overnight, Marie had become the kind of person she had longed to be all her life. Marie has become a capable person! Side note: Left off on chapter 42.

Review: I’d like to think that the female protagonist is a bit tsundere hearted. She may seem stoic, but she’s soft inside. Kind of like a mochi. The male lead is strong hearted and cares for the people. I’m vying for them to end up together. Artizea is a smart, yet cunning woman that truly believes herself to be the villainess. I hope that one day, she’ll realize that, deep down, she’s not, and that the duke will help her realize that. From the few chapters I’ve read so far, I continue to look forward to future chapters. The art style captures the true loneliness Artizea feels. I am interested in where the plot will be heading. Comment: Okay. Artizea is really pretty! She is so attractive! With her eyes, and her golden hair. . . Ack! Her personality is awesome! The duke is handsome too. Reminds me of a puppy. ＵＴｪＴＵ Side note: Left off on chapter 24

Review: The author had certainly hooked me, not because of the fantasy and romance as you might think, but because of how business and marketing is involved. The protagonist is a reincarnated saleswoman.

Ryouko Hayakawa, a hardcore otaku, was just about to have her thirty-sixth birthday before dying in a car accident. Or so she thought. She found herself to be reincarnated as the seventh prince, Herscherik! Herscherik finds himself in a fantasy world he could only imagine in his previous life! At the bright age of three, he realizes he must utilize the office work skills from his previous life to take action! Comment: It’s rather a shame that the artist quit working on this comic. I foresaw so much latent potential surrounding this comic. However, I understand where the artist is coming from. There might have been some personal interferences with this, and I understand that. I have experienced it firsthand how it feels to juggle writing a story and your life outside of that. I may not be the best person qualified to say this, but the author’s health comes first. That is what I am concerned about first. I sincerely hope the author recovers because they have created a piece that I won’t forget for sure. That is all I have to comment. p.s: and yes I know I ripped off my summary off of the other one, but I just couldn’t find any words to describe it. ( ͡°_ʖ ͡°)

So good. Genuinely. I love how it’s so non-stereotypical. It kind of reminds me of “The Affairs of the Other World Depend on the Corporate Slave” in that romance kind of (?) takes a backseat and the MC is more focused on doing what they can to help others around them. All the characters are very charming (Kudos to artist Fujiazuki for their amazing art), and I love the subtlety in character growth and the development of character relationships between the MC and other supporting characters. I like the MC’s mature and modest character. She’s even a researcher?? You don’t see that often at all. It’s also SO refreshing that she gets along with the girl summoned with her! The romance is slow and just right. I personally love the ML! He has the looks, he’s caring, and a knight!!

Comment: why do I have a sinking feeling that the archbishop will decline all the marriage candidates, and the protagonist will end up being the one marrying the archbishop? (ノ-_-)ノ ~┻━┻
