A hero that slowly builds up their strength over time though hardwork and effort? And then both recognizes their own strength and employs it with decency? Someone should tell the Isekai industry of these novel ideas!
This is one of my favorite manga to tune in to because it's so nice to see the childhood friend innocence side more often than the romance side that most stories will show. Like I can really feel the familial love and respect from all ends and it feels believable that they'd all have such a tightly knit bond with each other after all those years.
