Sasensareta Munou Ouji wa Jitsuryoku wo Kakushitai - Vol. 1 Ch. 2

[gorore]

so instead of the typical mc being dense this manga is just embracing the mc being a straight up moron from the start
looks promising

 

[Follarin-kun]

"without your boobs I didn't recognise you"

 

[Oklam]

a brain dead op mc... meh, why not but without expectation

 

[deathmailrock]

The MC is a super stupid idiot who thinks up elaborate schemes when he can just be lazy without any trouble...

 

[pandatime]

So his father and Brother been just as stupid do amuse me. Its the entire family just been silly

 

[NovaSphere]

My brain might actually be melting after reading this

 

[monkey123]

Who cares about the retirement plan when he gets sandwitched between boobs!

I said this in the first chapter but someone in the series discussion said this is supposed to be a parody of these sorts of "slow life reincarnator I'm actually the strongest and will save everyone but I just want to be left alone" sorts of series. If that's the case it does kind of a bad job of it because a parody that's indistinguishable from a straight example is no parody at all.

I'll still read it for a bit just to see how dumb it can get, but it's got some work to do.

 

[Mangamoz]

Poor hero just wants to lay in bed and chill while thousands of innocents get slaughtered by monsters.

Everyone is so inconsiderate to him!

Sarcasm

 

[BlackDeTheMynahBird]

If he, kill her nobody will know

But those are also usually scenario of first or second time around. Bro's on number three, he wants someone else to do it this time.

 

[Hoezell]

Being a straight up dumbass instead of a dense vegetarian is a good start

Was this meant to quote someone else? Because I'm not really taking issue with the nature of the MC as the guy that wants his slow life because he's been the hero before.

My entire train of thought is about how if this series is meant to be a parody of these sorts of stories as another poster suggested, it's not doing a very good job because there is nothing to distinguish it from a normal, played-straight version of the concept. There are lots of stories of someone reincarnating into a world where they have fantastic power and can be a hero or change the world but they just want to laze about and not care. So him having been the hero before and not wanting to repeat it isn't any different. Ditto for getting sucked into helping others by accident. Or the wacky silly nonsense characters, or the preposterously thick antagonist family/aristocrats/whatever. Even the fact that this series just out-of-nowhere goes for slapstick and goofiness is not abnormal because lots of "serious" manga and anime are broken up by completely random bursts of zany comedy because that's just how Japan does things.

The issue is that as a straight example of this sort of genre it's nothing we haven't seen dozens of times before. And as a parody/gag version of the genre it's handicapped by the fact that the genre almost always makes fun of itself even in straight examples, taking away the teeth of the parody angle. It has nothing that makes it stand out at all.

 

[Kageura002]

Yes you can inherit your previous life power. But sadly, your brain must inherit your parents genetic

 

[AMicrowave]

turns out the cat girl was actually a dragon, even better

 

[deathmailrock]

To be fair, the stupidity seems to be genetic... The father, the brother and the MC.... All 3 of them are idiots...

 

[Dalek-Bob]

I give it props for pulling the bandaid off early. None of this "oh no, now they know" drama... Everyone knows but the royal trio, who are all dense.

Now we can move forwards to fun stuff (I hope).

To such extend that I actually wonder how the kingdom could still stands...

Must have been the mom.

 

[Ari2142]

Baka MC.

Heh good enough for me then.
