About this deal

El protagonista no es un adolescente, sino un sujeto en edad de trabajo, eso es refrescante por si solo. Some differences: Of course, the m/m romance aspect. Plus, Kondou's love interest, Aresh, isn't so much sparklingly perfect as he is intensely serious. Aresh spends pretty much this entire volume glaring at Kondou from the sidelines. Also, there's no sign that Kondou has any magical abilities - he drinks healing potions rather than makes them. Honestly, I like Kondoh so much because he utilised his accounting skills and math knowledge on his position as an accounting employee in the royal palace. I mean, just like what Aresh said, he could've just live his life in luxury since the kingdom will cover all his expenses so long as he lives but he demands a job instead. I just wish he could at least rest and relax after all his days of endless work. I admire his strong commitment tho. And I beg to differ when those knights says he's plain-looking. He's actually sharp and handsome with an aura that screams 'witty' and 'keen.'😍Gosh, he's one of the most badass uke I've known with brains as the main weapon🔥The seme (Aresh) is soooooo hottttttt and can we appreciate how he NEVER assaulted Kondoh and politely asked for a consent before doing that "deed" to save him?Goshhhh, I want moreeeee😭😍

Ok, kinda informal review, but I just had to say that THIS SERIES IS GREAT. Not only is the concept so refreshing for a BL (isekai where the MC is a corporate slave—and yes it's a BL!), but it's actually executed so well! This reminded me intensely of The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent. Isekai fantasy romance in which two people are accidentally transported into a new world instead of just one. One of those people is a Holy Maiden who's supposed to help dispel a miasma. Instead of being labeled another potential true "Holy Maiden," Kondou, unlike Sei, was just dismissed entirely as being unimportant. However, Kondou, like Sei, requested to be put to work and immediately began overworking himself just as much as he'd done in the real world. In terms of romance, I really really love that the ML respects MC's decisions. He doesn't forcibly (without any flimsy reason) push for a romance or falls in love with him as if it was a given. But their romance slowly blossoms through continuous interaction with each other, both of them mutually curious about the other person. Yes!! Show us that love!! Has this entire review been a pointless attempt to parse my negative reaction to a highly successful form of entertainment that is ultimately not for me and is doing just fine without people like me “getting” it?Amo como las decisiones del interés romántico del MC son en favor de la salud del MC en lugar de por posesivo.

Aunque no hay muchas escenas íntimas, tampoco se queda escaso, y sabe manejar los tiempos para nada se sienta forzado o apresurado. The manga's actually based on a light novel and I've read the whole first season already.I can't wait for the next chapters of the manga because their relationship's going to change for good. The light novel was lovely and eloquently written.😭😍 There's a substantial focus on the story and plot while the romance is developed alongside it. There's still a good amount of romance so I wouldn't say either aspect is sidelined for the other. Also, this is not to say that stories that are primarily about the romance are necessarily bad (I've read many amazing mainly-romance stories), but the plot-focus here makes the story feel much richer. Especially considering how the vast majority of BLs are usually mainly about the relationship! Although there are not many intimate scenes, it does not remain scarce, and knows how to manage the times for nothing feel forced or hasty. Intimate moments are not free, in the sense that they do not appear because they do, but they have a reason and justification when they happen.Here I am, writing a review for a manga adaptation of a light novel, a review that I’ve put way more thought into than the genre can probably justify. It’s called a light novel, Alex. The clue is in the name. But I’m getting married in a couple days and my brain copes with stressful situations by hyper-fixating on trivial subjects. QED, I’m on Goodreads writing an unnecessarily detailed review with an unnecessarily detailed explanatory introduction, instead of you know MY MARRIAGE VOWS [laughing/crying emoji].

Kazuki Irodori’s art, as in the two previous volumes, is what raises this manga version of Yatsuki Wakatsu’s isekai novels to a different level. The mangaka, even though working from character designs by Kikka Ohashi, has made these characters very much her own. Even when the story is at times a little clunky in the way it unravels the plot and the characters’ motivations, her art, and especially the characters’ facial expressions and reactions, still make this a pleasure to read. The bonus story at the end, The Knight Captain’s Mood Depends on His Cushion, provides a delightful, light-hearted antidote to the dramatic events unfolding in the Demon Forest. Kondou takes almost everything that happens to him in stride. He watches everyone around him coolly, accessing their behavior and learning their place in this new world. His keen, analytical mind is housed in a supposedly frail body that can’t handle the food or drink of this country. But you’d never know it from how hard he pushes himself. While Kondou certainly doesn’t look frail, others continually comment on his slight weight, dependency on magical tonics and the constant danger he’s in from “magicules”, which act like a poison to him. I love how decisions of the romantic interest of the MC are in favor of the health of the MC rather than by possessive. Aresh is developing romantic feelings for Kondou, feelings he hasn’t yet admitted to himself but which are becoming apparent to those around him. He continues to have sexual sessions with Kondou. Without telling Kondou how he feels, the latter thinks this is a burdensome chore for Aresh not the growing closeness of a lover. Cards on the table, I haven’t read a lot of manga. Because I don’t really enjoy it. And I find it confusing. I can’t tell if it’s a cultural disconnect, and I think that may be a part of it, but obviously there are plenty of non-Japanese people who enjoy manga. But I find most of it completely bewildering. And then I feel mildly guilty for feeling like it was written by extraterrestrials, because that seems uncomfortably xenophobic. But as with most things I don’t understand, I can’t help ruminating on why I don’t understand it or like it, instead of shrugging and moving on like a less obsessive person would do.La trama no se centra únicamente en el romance, ni tampoco lo deja de lado al punto en que te haga preguntarte si llegarán a algún lado. De hecho los asuntos políticos y financieros van muy de la mano con el desarrollo del romance entre los protagonistas.
