I am the first to admit when I read "slow life iseakia" I have a disposition towards meritocracy, if a manga has a slow pace, decent characters and a generic environment I'll read the whole thing. I'm just enjoying myself with a nice cup of tea and some light music.
So when I come across one so fresh, so thought out and so amazing I can't help but gush about it. Characters seem to be real, fleshed out people you could find in real life, they're not relying on troupes and cliches with the same gags you've seen in every other manga. When our MC did a praise worth action I was expecting everyone to overreact at this simple good deed and give him endless praise, instead I was greeted with nods of approval and light gratitude. It had honestly caught me off guard with how human it all seemed.
Characters are great, world is great, MC is a person unlike typical MC (always flustered, overly righteous, horny and asexual at the same time, not a murder machine) and no early unearned romance. The story's been ramping for a while so I hope it doesn't evolve into high stakes like I have a feeling it might. The author hasnt let me down so far though.
10/10 Enjoyed just about everything
