Edgelord magic-school manga incoming! And for all those worried -- this has no relation to "The Irregular at Magic High School" (Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei), which more directly translates as "Bad student of the Magic Department of Senior High". This title more directly translates to "Worst...

@Pirate-Pierate Nah, there are plenty of people here who cares what others think and read the comments -- I think it's interesting to hear different takes and there are usually a lot of differing opinions! For my take, I pretty much agree to the general sentiment in the previous comments; it's...

There's some minor twists in the world building that make it at least readable, but this is another one of those Japanese takes on the reincarnation cultivation manhuas -- same tropes and dozens of "EEEH?! EEEEEEH?! Impossibiru!" panels that are supposed to be comedic relief, but end up as...

Wow, I had some hopes for this one but it certainly took a nose-dive into standard-land awfully abruptly. It's good enough unless you're a hardened isekai veteran, I think -- I hope I'm wrong but I think I know where this is going: nowhere. It's likely rinse and repeat from this point on as far...

Isekai trash panda reporting in. As always, thanks to the TL team. Standard fare -- as usual there's not point in it being an isekai. But, genre fantasy readers would never accept the inconsequential plot and boring magic-babble. The only reason the isekai thing is there is to hand-wave...

Isekai trash panda here, reporting in. Big thanks to the translators, wouldn't have been able to read it without them. Good art, first chapters promise something different but then as usual with this kind of story it falls off a cliff. If you've read any reincarnation cultivation stories, this...

@C3PO I agree, feeling the same way. First arc was promising, second one overly stereotypical and needlessly wordy; do we really need all that inconsequential backstory-- I for one don't really care about some second rate villains' backstories or their run-of-the-mill motivations.... It would...

If you're looking for a wuxia or martial arts story with some kind of progression or development with a cast of characters and a plot, this isn't it. I guess it fills some comedy niche, maybe HK sitcom humour from the 70s? Definitely not for me, I have no idea what it's supposed to be-- perhaps...

When they said guns I imagined wheel-locks or flintlocks and thought that finally an author had realized firearms became prominent in the late medieval/early renaissance period that almost all fantasy imitates. But it was scoped bolt-action rifles with pencil-barrels and bayonet lugs along Roman...

I'm usually pretty tolerant with isekai, being a self-proclaimed isekai trash panda but this one was just kinda boring... I usually don't give up unless there's something really awful about a manga, but I'm pretty much dropping this halfway through. It's alright as far as art and characters and...

Thanks for the translation. As for the story ... urgh, I skipped 70+ chapters ahead after the bog standard intro and didn't feel as if I'd missed a single thing, the story had progressed exactly nowhere -- or at least nothing that had happened in between had any bearing on the story itself. I...

In my entire life I have never seen a woman faint, from stress, pain, fear or anything else-- be it childbirth or stabilizing a broken leg. She might throw up from stage fright, loose the ability to speak properly before a particuarily rough exam, but faint? Yet in stories like these women faint...

@cinnamoncookie I'm with you on that one, rated 4, dropped; there's so many better villainess stories out there, not sure what this one is trying to be. "Cheating Men Must Die" is pretty much the same thing just better. Big thanks to the translators though, no complaints regarding the scan or...

Almost 30 years later and it's still one of my favourites. Also has the rare distinction of being a completed isekai. Read it and if you like it, go buy it. It deserves a place on your bookshelf if you like isekai, shoujo or fantasy.

"maximum originality" that description has got to be a joke, right? No shade on the creators; go for it -- but maybe write something more sensible.

yeah, I'm not going to buy an isekai after seeing two pages, that's completely wishful thinking on behalf of the creators and publishers. Heck, I'm regretting buying some web comics after 80 chapters. I'm really surprised to see illustrated media sticking to traditional distribution models, no...

Isekai trash panda here, reporting in from my latest dumpster dive. Very readable translation and clean redraws, good work by the translation team. A strong prologue and pretty standard for genre fantasy -- but the fact that it's an isekai is very worrying. So many isekais fall off a cliff...

Surprisingly, Juuni Kokuki (Twelve Kingdoms) has little to no romance in it despite being a josei isekai. I prefer the novel though, since the additional earthlings in the anime are kinda jarring, imo. The novels feature an ensemble cast, while we're kind of stuck with Youko in the anime. She...

I really do wish there was a bit more research done into tool making in general and blacksmithing in particular. Not to mention metallurgy. There's amazing online resources available and plenty of videos aimed specifically at authors for fantasy works explaining the basics of early renaissance...

I'm almost dissappointed I had read the pre-serialization of this, the twist is awesome!
