It’s interesting that they chose to draw the MC as kind of ugly. Not the typical trope at all.
The thing that I have a hard time with is that he was missing and presumed dead for 20 years and the happy reunion lasted about 3 minutes before everyone started treating him like an annoying pain in the ass.
There’s no gratitude for his sacrifice, no empathy for his suffering alone, no concerns about trauma, no desire to spend time together. Like what the fuck?
37 year old man gets to go back to school with a 99% female enrollment and date a cute highschooler and his 20 year old handler. It's so shameless I can't help but root for the author's very subtle wish fulfillment.
I feel like Axe-kun is keeping an eye on this manga, The story is moving way too fast compared to the light novel. Looks like MC got both lucky and unlucky at the same time. The lucky part, He accidentally grabbed Haruka's boobs. then unlucky part One of Haruka's friends happened to catch him in the act while he was grabbing them
So he avoid having sex with the escort, because he already has a lover. But okay to get close to a highschool girl in all girls school? It's only cheating if he have sex with them?
more changes to the story compared to the novel, guess it's safe to say it's completely different now.
On the novel, he meets Haruka and her friends much earlier in the story, visiting her normally. One is described as a short japanese-style beautiy, the other was a super bodacious half-western girl with giant boobs (few girls appear in the story with larger ones). They were at Haruka's house rather than the hospital, and the two girls completely started to hit on MC
Haruka is a dungeon streamer, the other girls sometimes join her, with one of them working as the cameraman, so later MC becomes their cameraman
There is no "fake death", and he is sent to school as is, just to get the license.
And that causes an uproar on which classes the Hero will join in. His identity is also relevant since the new DK knows he is the one who defeated the previous DK
I assume it may still happen, but
we had a flashback story of his time with the girl he likes (and their dog Johntarou, a mix of names by the otherworldly Rinka and him)
Sayaka was taken out during the previous attack, and pretty much only returns during the school arc do drive him... And then goes missing again. She still treats him like a God, and never shows a face like knowing how useless he can be.
Since the novel never had him explicitly say "he wants to do Rinka first", and he had shown interest in doing it with other girls, his excitement for the school was entirely understandable, as he thought, and had the opportunities, to do girls, only being stopped by his "oh no, maybe they don't want it" or "external circumstances" bullshits. But with the Rinka excuse being explicit, I guess that's a no-no now.
This continues to be by far the most cracked-out ultra-Japanese story I’ve read.
You need a dungeon license
even though you’ve been dungeoneering for 20 years
the only way to get a license is to go to literal kids high school for multiple years, wasting huge amounts of precious time even with the world under threat
adult education programs nonexistent
examination without study not allowed
no exceptions
also just casually break and enter into a high school girls dorm room
Why is he so contradictory? He doesn't want to have sex with anyone because he vowed to give his first to his childhood friend, but at the same time he skirtchase whenever he has a chance.

For a second, i thought he would need to pretend to be a girl to enter the "almost all-girls school"given the fact he had to pretend dead and stuff like that lol

Hero who basically alone saved humanity 20 years ago
Who returns after 20 years of being presumed dead
Is insanely strong in the dungeons, and we can assume more experienced than anyone else on the planet
And somehow above ground too, being the first person who can actually use magic outside of the dungeons
Is GOD for some people even
All he really wants is to know what happened to his GF/reunite with her
In a world:
Which arely survived thanks to MC defeating the demon lord
Barely can fight monsters above ground
Is on borrowed time, where governments around the world know about it and just supress the information from the public
Which needs MC, or at least his powers, to save the world again
And what they do?
Sell him some bullshit about his GF for personal reasons (yeah that surely won't massively backfire)
Bother him with some retarded talk about consequences of causing an explosion in the city (yeah, as if anyone would even consider that when they learned they actually might have a chance to fight back)
Try to presume him dead (like it wouldn't cause massive uproar on a global scale over someone fucking up so much that humanity's hope died)
Even try to hide his identity (it's like there are no monuments dedicated to him, and i might extrapolate but i'm pretty sure with him not aging at all, EVERYONE in this world would be able to recognize his face at a glance - or at least his believers and half of the teenage girls, who would have a poster with his face on the walls of their bedrooms)
Bother him with DUNGEON LOICENCE
Try to waste time (which they don't have) with DUNGEON SCHOOL in a capacity other than go there once to give a motivational speech
What i'd like to see: good to see you MC, have a few days to rest, please tell us what you know about dungeons over the next days, here's summary of what changed in the last 20 years, have some press time over the next 2-3 weeks while we update our plans, OK here are 137 different plans we prepared over the last 20 years just in case you return, out of them only 12 are viable considering information you provided, oh here's detailed report of what happened to your girl, 12 of the plans we had were excluded because they didn't take into account rescuing her, you are considered a Battalion MC in Brigade MC's Bitches in Division MC's Fangirls in Special Army Hell, we need 3 months to prepare all the forces, then we go on the offensive. Can you fuck some bitches or at least cum in a cup in the meantime? Demography is kinda screwed.
