Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle ~The Black Mage Who Got Kicked Out of the Hero Party Due to His Unnecessary Debuffs Gets Welcomed by the Top Brass of the Demon King's Army~

Ongoing | Mitaka hozumi,Kaidou jeiichi | 2019 released

27 Unique concept. No harem. Good pacing, albeit on the slow side. A female love interest who’s not that annoying… There are lots of positives to this manga. I like how it flips the table and shows the monsters’ perspective on fighting heroes. I also enjoy how there isn’t really a main antagonist in the typical sense. the mc is rivals with his childhood friend (and they are very gay. jk). i will always enjoy bromance, but aside from the MC and the hero, everyone else feels pretty one-dimensional. i want to like this more, but i can’t. who knows, this may be your cup of tea tho

The yandere top father is being teased

Ongoing | 혜보라 | 2022 released

this isn’t slow burn… there are barely any embers. still, i like it! it’s pretty classic. it reminds me of some danmei novels i’ve read. i like that the mc is honest about how he’s a different person from the original host and how he’s from another world. you don’t see that often. it makes this alpha x omega pairing more unique. the mc’s dense and almost naive, but it’s not to the point it’s veru frustrating. i like the family vibes, and their kids (hyeol and kkotsu) are too cute!! very comedic, light read.

The Savior's Book Café in Another World

Ongoing | Izumi kyouka (和泉杏花),Oumiya (近江谷),Sakurada reiko | 2019 released

Very cute manga with fluffy romance! My only qualm is the racism… It’s very clear that the antagonists are middle eastern caricatures even though we don’t see them that often. i liked how they’re about the same age! and a more mature and understanding couple. you don’t see that too much in the manga, but the extra chapters conveyed that. they were cute (and a little spicy) as well. Mostly heartwarming read. Youta wasn’t too bad of a character imo.

I Adopted the Male Lead from the Shelter 〘Official〙

Ongoing | Yujistar | 2022 released

I like this! I like how some of the characters (the parental figures) have done bad things, but they try to make up for it… The MC’s dad for example. I like how he isn’t just some villain figure. He genuinely cares for his daughter even as he abuses Therianthropes… Anyway, they’re nuanced, which I like. The dynamic between the MC and Ruby is also rly cute.

Looking for My One-Night Villainess

Ongoing | Eun ragyeom | 2022 released

the art is way too good for a story like this… i love the line weight and the subtle realism it has (e.g. the mass slightly protuding out from leonie’s face. all the characters are so beautiful, but i’m not the biggest fan of the developing love square with the MC as the focal point. the plot is also kinda frustrating rn but i hope it gets better

I Thought You Were A Time-Limited Husband

Ongoing | | 2022 released

40 this is pretty mid. everything about this is bland. the FL, the ML— can’t get hooked on the plot personally. but it’s not a BAD story. it’s a decent one with nice art. the plot is pretty entertaining

The Forsaken Saintess and her Foodie Roadtrip in Another World

Ongoing | Yoneori,Nana kogami | 2019 released

this is pretty good! very light and calming read. i ofc love the food elements. all the side characters are generally charming (e.g. vil and aria). i just want more!! 16.2

The Villainous Duke’s Special Rice Cultivation Method

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Kind of mid. I like the farming aspects ig? Schan (likely ML) has a tragic backstory yada yada. It follows the same template as I’ve seen a lot of other isekai. the art is also mid (personally don’t like how the eyes are drawn a lot of the time). the mc’s personality is just too simple for me

I was Pleased to Make a Parfait for the Demon King

Ongoing | Ryu kaname | 2019 released

I thought this would just be a cute manga about making sweets in the demon realm, but it’s actually a lot darker than that. gon’s past is such a mystery, which makes his character even more intriguing. all of the other characters have great designs. all of them are really interesting, maybe even more so than the MC tbh… anyway, i want more!

Milady Just Wants to Relax

Ongoing | mochizuki beni,kajiyama mika | 2000 released

This is furry propaganda. Jk jk. They were not kidding about the reverse harem tag in this one. Literally everyone in the story likes the MC. It’s the same cliché plot where the MC undervalues herself and actually has quite a lot of merit. I want to love this, but her age really puts me off. Wdym she’s 16 and one of the potential MLs is 24??! Barf. Everyone except the MC is so annoying. The characters are all kind of flat… no growth happening. If you don’t mind that, this is a pleasant, fluffy read.
