The Dark Mage’s Return to Enlistment

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Really funny. Magic (?) skills combined with a militaristic setting. Reminds me of "Perfect Hybrid," otherwise known as "Genius of the Unique Lineage." Title sums it up perfectly actually. I like how the MC doesn't really feel a need to hide his powers. He's not all that calculating and just does his own thing. The reason behind his actions? His favorite girl from a video game he loves lmao. A somewhat unique twist on a popular concept.

Saikyou no Kanteishi tte Dare no koto? ~Manpuku gohan de Isekai Seikatsu~

Ongoing | Minatose tsukasa,Fujiwara rika | 2019 released

The translation gradually gets better. For the first portion, you can just turn your brain off and get through it relatively easily. It’s enough to somewhat understand. Anyway, I thought that this was pretty good. It’s a nice slice of life manga where you get to see a lot of deliciously drawn food! I wouldn’t take this too seriously. The MC just accepts how he’s in another world without rhyme or reason and starts bringing ideas over from Japan. He’s OP ofc, but he uses his abilities for other things. I like that he’s a guy who’s into traditionally feminine things. Makes his character likable, and I also enjoyed the theme where you shouldn’t force your beliefs on others. I very much agree with that sentiment. The art and setting’s good, characters are funny and likable, and this is just an enjoyable, light read.

The Old Man Reincarnated as a Villainess

Ongoing | Ueyama michirou | 2019 released

Gosh, this is hilarious! I like how even after “fusing” with the original Grace, the MC didn’t lose his identity. He influences the characters in a different way. Like you’d think, this is a really funny manga and I love the possibility of him returning back to his old world and to his wife and daughter! And the fact that he’s in a game is so hilarious. 9/10 just bc of how much i enjoyed this.

My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

Ongoing | Izumi,Achiki | 2019 released

Really good. Sure, it has romance, but I don’t think it’s detrimental to the story? It adds it. So far, I’m loving the MC’s character. I’ve always been a fan of the MC who has contradictory qualities as he is forced to abide by the original storyline. It’ll be fun to see him grow stronger is what I think. Plus, the action is great! The side characters on the other hand…. Anyway, I’m not saying this is incredibly well written or perfect, but I do like this.

Isekai Craft Gurashi Jiyu Kimamana Seisan Shoku No Honobono Slow Life

Ongoing | aroe,tateyama rin | 2019 released

This is so entertaining. I like how it’s just about the MC doing architecture/crafting the things he wants to in another world. The characters are likable, and it’s funny at the right moments. Sure, the MC’s abilities are a bit outlandish, but he’s not ridiculously OP.

Absolute Necromancer

Ongoing | | 2022 released

27 ATS Interesting enough. I’ve read a lot of stuff with revenge plots, and this is just kinda basic stuff. Doesn’t cover much character relationships, and the action is mediocre at best. It’s got a lot of tropes in one whole package. Can’t compare to anything like Solo Leveling as of yet, but read this if you want to.

Terminally-Ill Genius Dark Knight

Ongoing | | 2022 released

I quite like the main character and the art, but the female characters ruin this for me. They feel shallow and like "damsels in distress." It's really irritating. but because I like the action, I'm willing to tough it out to see if they develop into better characters.

The Fed Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess

Ongoing | Nekotarou | 2000 released

This manga is so goddamn good. Like I think I was waiting my entire life to read this. Okay, maybe not, but I stand by what I said. I love the isekai setting, and the characters are so memorable with their unique settings. The art is very beautiful, and ngl reading the panels of the MC and the villainess FL make me squeal. Heart pounding romance that’s interesting at the same time. What is hiding behind the FL’s facade…. And what about the original heroine? I quite like the MC because she went through bring a corporate slave and is slowly doing what she wants to do.

The Useless Skill [Auto Mode] Has Been Awakened ~Huh, Guild's Scout, Didn't You Say I Wasn't Needed Anymore?~

Ongoing | Nakajima Rei,La軍 | 2021 released

Help, his skill was not useless at all even prior to his buff. It’s a decent manga but the fan service kind of turns me off. Like these are fifteen year-olds, okay…. Aside from that, I do like the premise. The MC’s skill is cool, kind of like Zenitsu’s. Also liking the action. The characters are superficial so far, so I’m hoping to see more depth.
