Ahhhh... I love manga like these. Why aren't there more of them?

At first I was a bit on guard, due to it being marked as suggestive on several sites, but I don't really see why this marker was here at all. The art is not lewd at all, and the story is as wholesome as it gets. Plus, it feels like it's actually going places.

This is peak romance manga for me. Not that this manga is perfect, but the way this is done is just perfect for me. Let me list why:

_____________________________________
-- Believable, but not realistic --

Obviously, this is a reverse isekai with magic, so ... it's not going to be realistic. However, IF something like this were to happen IRL, the consequences of it depicted in the manga really make a lot of sense. How many isekais can say that the feds get involved because of the inter-dimensional interloper?

In addition, the other world does not disappear. It has a recurring role, and you get the sense that it will have a direct role in the story soon. It keeps the stakes high, even if those stakes are literally in separate dimension from the main plot.
______________________________________
-- Sweet characters, small cast, and believable romance --

This is the most crucial part really, and it's very well done. Almost the entire manga takes place in the country-side, with the nearest neighbor being a little over 2 km away from the protagonists house. This means that the cast of characters is necessarily quite small, at least in the beginning. It grows organically and sensibly, and you never feel overwhelmed by the amount. They are also all relatively distinct, and well characterized.

The main character is genuinely a pretty charming person. He is not some shut-in neet like most protagonists of this genre, but a man with a commitment to his fathers profession who, out of circumstance, doesn't have a partner. He is a hard worker, and a very good guy.

This pairs really well with the heroine, who is a medieval fantasy knight. She is also a hard worker, dedicated to the family craft, who has to deal with her new situation.

I will say that they could have done more with the main heroines backstory. Without going into spoilers, I can say she has some traumas that they do play around with in the main plot, but I really do feel like they could have gone further.
_____________________________________

Either way, so far so good. I can heartily recommend this manga to anyone looking for a decently paced romance story that isn't just the mangakas excuse to but nude breasts on screen. Very nice!

There aren't any reviews out yet so I hope I can help you decide if you want to try this one out or not!

First off, if you enjoy wholesome Romance/SoL this is exactly what you are looking for! The romance is super sweet!

The story follows Saeki Kanji, a 32 year old farmer who lives a slow life. All that changes one day when a unknown person knocks on his door and asks to stay the night. She claims she's from another world and is lost without a place to stay. Being the kind hearted person he is, he invites her in. He doesn't fully ... believe her story, but he can't just leave her wondering around at night. Is she crazy or is she actually from another world?

That's a small summary explaining the premise of the story. It follows the two as they grow closer and try to uncover what's going on. It's got a ton of super sweet moments and some comedy mixed in. There isn't much drama, but when there is it's extremely well done and is always resolved very quickly.

One of my favorite parts about this story is the fact that it dives into how it would feel if you just got taken away from your world. Most generic Isekai stories ignore this and the MCs will just act like nothing happened and move on with their lives. This story has a more realistic take on what it would feel like being whisked away from everyone you know and love. The characters feel real and it's extremely refreshing to see in this genre!

About the romance, I've already said it and I will say it again...

W H O L E S O M E!!!


The way their relationship slowly progresses throughout the story is amazing! Romance isn't the main point of the story all the time, but it is always there in the background. That being said in the last few chapters we had some crazy development that heavily focused on the romance side of things. Unlike a lot of other stories in this genre, the romance actually does go somewhere and (Minor Spoiler Warning) the story continues after the MCs get into a relationship.

Also there isn't any stupid forced relationship drama which is a huge plus in my opinion!

The art is great! The manga is pretty light hearted and it really fits the tone of the manga. There's a ton of comedic faces the MCs make that are soooo good!

Overall I would say you definitely should try this one out if you enjoy SoL/Romance. If you need action to enjoy a story than you probably won't enjoy it. If you love SoL/Romance like me, this is exactly what you are looking for! The romance is really sweet, the story progresses nicely, and there isn't any stupid drama that's thrown in for no reason. I really enjoyed it and I hope you will too!

I hope this helped you decide if you want to try this one out! 63 chapters are out so far and I can't wait for more! I can say for sure that I highly recommend it and once again try this out if you like wholesome romance!

That's all from me, I hope you have a great day!

If you value the opinion of a reviewer or want the summary of what someone thought, it's not that good - not worth reading and a waste of time. (5/10) if I'm being generous, but I'm not.

This manga is fine for the first 60 chapters or so, but that alone isn't worth justifying reading it until the end.

There are a few large questions left unanswered in my head after catching up to this manga. The first major problem that I believe is wrong with this manga - is that it takes itself too seriously.

It's grounded, which isn't a bad thing, but in the end ... - this is a slice of life romance manga where politics has no place, and that's where the manga seems to end up heading in the later chapters. Any messages that the author tries to convey with the manga's drama is jumbled up and lost in the extraneous chapters that give literally nothing - not even entertainment - to the story.

I DON'T CARE about the romance between two characters I dislike heavily.

Back to the point, this links in with the second major problem I have with the story, and probably the largest.

It's almost as if the author ran out of things to write about and wanted to fill in the blank spaces with serious plot - because he took his own manga too seriously - so he added these extra characters.

It's FINE if they're secondary, but why in the mother f are they sidelining the main characters? They're not even likeable characters. They literally take over the main character's house after breaking his ribs, nose, and arm. Nothing happens to them after this.

What???

Nothing happens to them because they're "incredibly powerful", to which they get beaten by a young half-trained farmer to get sidelined once again.

...What?...

The romance is also incredibly subpar, especially for something that lauds itself as wholesome.

Through reading the manga, I can clearly tell that the author has some sort of NTR kink, displayed through his manga.

Some of the cover images in the later chapters feature the side characters standing with the FMC while the supposed male lead is in the back, drawn as a tiny side addition.
The author uses terms like "real men" and likes to draw other men as pathetic compared to side characters that come in late, and it's even prominent in the male lead, ceding his home to other people (with his wife living in it) after begging to them on his knees in dogeza - AFTER getting his bones broken and lying in a hospital for weeks. Granted, it IS the family member of said wife, but that quickly begins to make little difference after bearing witness to how the male lead ingratiates himself to him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him submissive. It's almost as if the author made him blood related so that readers wouldn't drop.

This *was* an alright read, at first, but the author should have stuck with the wholesome cooking and SOL chapters instead of trying to put plot and garbage romance views in his novel.

It's to the point I'm forced to now wash out my brain with superior romance SOL manga.

All of that led up to my absolutely horrible opinion of it, along with getting me astonished (and irritated) enough to come here to write a negative review on it, which is something that's never happened to me in over 5 years of reading manga.

Astounding.
