Seems 1.1 lays some decent groundwork for this series. The author sacrifices some believable plot and characterizations in order to set up their rules and world, but with some strong chapters this gamble could pay off.
It's good that Mr. Protag already knows of a magic system and got a glimpse...
I dig it. Special evolution requirements instead of reach lvl 100, evolve and restart at 1. As a storytelling device it'll open up much more creative options than just 1) beat the rat 2) beat the high rat 3) beat the advanced rat.
Not particularly too complex in its characters or story yet, but...
Not a fan of this pairing because it doesn't do anything new or better than what we already had. Half of reason the older friend was interesting was because she was aloof and liked to tease Igarashi. Now the teasing's been claimed by the other office couple and this one feels like a copy of the...
I think the 3rd level assessment of Team Desir is a guess based on either the approximate strength of the defeated chimeras or from a report written about the two real inspectors that D&R are impersonating. If there had been a level scanner in the world, it wouldn't have been a good decision to...
The ideas and art are great. Using countless massless beams and a focal point target behind a kinetic shield is mind-blowingly fun.
Translation's also very strong. Really having fun with the flowery and grand speech patterns that come from 1st girl's alter-ego, when compared to her usually meek...
The little details help. A lesser artist would've stopped after getting a negative of the penultimate panel. This madlad had the coffee spill expand before taking the negative, showing the crew having been frozen in shock for more than just an instant.
I'm all for Team Soulmate. I've associated the term with "someone who is a part of you; someone whose absence would mean losing an significant portion of yourself."
The art implies that Iruma wants to verbalize a term closer than "friend," but also one too embarrassing to say out loud in...

Romance is about 15% of the story. It's there and it drives some chapters sometimes, but generally this is a story about a meek kid growing up in a strange world with his increasing collection of new friends and slowly gaining the skills and abilities to stand on his own.
I'd recommend...
Alright, he was doing good until he looked in the mirror. Just gotta keep him aware from reflective surfaces and selfies until the end of the festival and with Reina's help they'll be able to sexually confuse the entire school.
I'm a big fan of Nishi's cooldown chapters at the end of an arc to help develop characters and storylines. I've noticed an increase in writers that just jump from action to action to action and don't get to see the resolution chapters as much anymore. It's like a small "and then they lived...

The festival intro video in ch 161 mentioned the order of presentation would be according to a lottery, so randomness is expected.
I'm only slightly bummed that we only get to see 4 of the 6 freshmen classes on screen, since ch 164 said there was gonna be six performances and we're...
Everyone's talking about the 3 minute fight, but nobody's talking about the final 5 seconds where the lawful good guy's saying, "Hey girl, watch closely as I execute this guy for you." 😉
And he was gonna do it, too.

Oh, neat. Thanks for the good news and for the wonderful work you do.
Good luck with the raws, I still have nightmares from the 00s when the source quality was bad enough to see the ink from the back of the page get picked up on the digital scans.
"VOLUME 18 - END"
>Release Date: September 8, 2020
Aw man. Time for at least a month-long pause until Vol. 19 drops. See ya, space cowboy.
Plus there's the other elephant in the room:
Re-reading this and looking over tankbro's comments, something is telling me that Kitty Princess only kept the first coin as a souvenir and just left the others behind that others fought over.
Being a gag manga, I'd be willing to wager Paula & Bakara left early to turn in those coins for first...
The visual joke on pgs 10 &11 was so subtle, but really great on silently establishing that Ronove is a best boy.
And thanks for the credit meta joke. May you find joy and pride in the triumph over your daunting challenge.
