About this deal

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! The unique plot lends itself to refreshing characters and character/dynamics. Mainly, the MC has a strong, down-to-earth personality that really works with the plot and relationship dynamic. The other guy is moreso your resident cool strong stoic guy, but their dynamic is great because of the unique storyline and situations that it creates.

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. 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?Do you hear that? Do you hear the sound of the isekai gods finally blessing us with a BL Isekai storywith decent characters, interesting plot, anda unique world? El protagonista no es un adolescente, sino un sujeto en edad de trabajo, eso es refrescante por si solo. Kondou Seiichirou is an overworked accountant who's heading home one evening when he hears a girl crying out for help. He rushes to her, only to get pulled along with her into a new world where she's expected and wanted and he's...an unexpected extra. The girl, Shiraishi Yua, is named the next Holy Maiden, a girl destined to save the kingdom from a deadly miasma. Kondou is asked what he'd like to do, and he requests an accounting job. The art is AMAZING—not just the style (which I think is what most people tend to focus on), but also how the artist uses the art to tell the story through paneling, pacing, facial expressions, etc. The list could go on! 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.😭😍

For me, that was already interesting by itself. They don't skimp on the accounting part either as just a "quirky" part of his personality; they actually show the MC working and he makes waves in the world. He uncovers financial inconsistencies, explains how in the world do isekai manhwas somehow funds the recently summoned characters, and makes plans for the next financial year. Mwah. The actual hero of the manga. Below I will list some of the factors that make me consider this one of the best BL sleeves I’ve read: 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. A bonus chapter from the POV of the boy from whom Kondou commissioned an abacus. Also, one full-color illustration and a couple afterwords, one from the artist and one from the original light novel author. Digital goods, open DVDs and Blu-rays, smart art prints, mystery bundles, and final sale items are excluded from the return policy.I confess that the isekai genre is not one of my favorites, even in the BL, but this story caught me from the beginning with its great development of both the world and its characters. The plot does not focus solely on romance, nor does it set it aside to the point where it makes you wonder if they will get anywhere. In fact political and financial affairs Amo como las decisiones del interés romántico del MC son en favor de la salud del MC en lugar de por posesivo. 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.

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. 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. Also, the author chose to introduce a bunch of new characters and world-building in this volume which were not as well integrated as in the previous two. But I do like the art, which sounds condescending after I just complained all over the book, but I actually do. The style is clean and incisive and the expressiveness of the illustration works for the angsty brooding scenes, the over-the-top melodramatic scenes, and everything in between.Nov 25 i☆Ris the Movie - Full Energy!! - Anime Film Teaser Visual Revealed at i☆Ris Live Stage in Anime NYC & i☆Ris First Performance in New York Successfully Completed 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!! 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. A continuación haré una lista de algunos de los factores que me hacen considerar este uno de los mejores mangas BL que he leído:
