With only 10 chapters released thus far, there isn't much to go off of when writing a review. Regardless, I will do my best to review each element of the manga to help prospective readers determine if this is a manga worth their time.

STORY

The story follows the basic "heroes get teleported to a fantasy world" arch-type, and normally being that generic would warrant a low score for lack of originality, but this manga adds a nice twist by having the heroes be a group of high schoolers with incredible talents ranging from politics, economics, engineering, medicine, espionage (ninja), swordsmanship, and magic/illusions. It's an interesting take ... on an old story type by not having them gain powers simply by being transported to a new world. It has them rely on each others strengths to not only survive in this new world, but succeed and help the local people. For that, it gets a 7/10 by being better than the average story.

ART

For this, again it follows common art style found in most manga geared towards a younger, adolescent audience. The characters are drawn to appeal to readers based on fan-service, and the art style doesn't really add anything to the manga overall. It doesn't take anything away from it either, so because of that it's average. 6/10

CHARACTER

This is where the manga is strongest. It takes a commonly used story type and makes it stronger by having seven unique characters which would usually be the only protagonist in their own stories. By doing this, they allow the story to develop in a unique way to most stories of a similar genre where instead of one character fighting to survive/on a quest to get home/trying to conquer the world, it has seven characters do it. By this many, and with each being strong in one area, it allows for greater development and interaction despite the main character being the political character because of his strength in leadership and moral fortitude. 8/10

ENJOYMENT

With everything previously stated, the overall enjoyment of this manga is rather good if you're a fan of the genre. Plot points are quick to develop and are resolved within 3-5 chapters making for a interesting read with no gap story telling. 8/10

OVERALL

What makes this manga an overall 7/10 isn't because of any weakness in the manga itself, but for the likelihood that the manga will either be rushed to completion or be dropped and not further developed. If you're fine with that type of manga ending this way, it's worth a read. If you're looking for a longer manga that will last a while with regular updates, probably not the best for you.

To start this is using the typical isekai trope and assume you know about isekai already.

The real plus about this manga is being a guilty pleasure and fundamentally not badly written. The art is quite good.
The cons about this manga is the poor world building and lack of depth in overall with heavy use of plot convenience and armor.

We are introduced to 7 characters and those are the best at what they do.
This will be a problem for the author, as making sure that 7 character are related or that we can care about what happens to them isn't simple. Some short backstory will be ... given to those character along with some flashback. But those are still not enough to give enough depth as the way he implements those are not convincing.

The story takes part into another world with differents law and culture.
Yet somehow the protagonist doesn't need to learn about those as no matter what they do will become the new standard for the locals. They don't even question it, this allows the protagonist political ideology or business tactic to take form without hurdle. They don't need to learn about them or try to conform those. It feels really weak as the world becomes really swallow to care.

It is introduced right at the beginning each of them are the best in the World at what they do while being students. Yet somehow, not once we really thought that they were really good at what they do.
The best fighter is in fact quite average and indecisive. The best journalist or information gathering character is really underwhelming. The magician will solve all issues with magic that isn't explain because plot told us. He should in fact be a pro at tricking and giving illusions of what he does, yet what he does is completly "magical" and defies any laws of physics or common sense. This is shown at the beginning as their introduction and will remains a problem afterwards.

If you take the example of death march, Satou really is a broken character as he can copy, understand and solve any issues without putting any effort.
Here, those character fails to be the best at what they are supposed to be.
The problem solving in each arc is really weak and doesn't feel believable.

Magic, science, politics, business don't expect explanation from the author as he is really sloppy at trying to explain those. There is no long dialogue that explain how the character can do it, they just can. There is no grand plot in the story. It is a sandbox for our 7 protagonist to mold the world as they deem.

Beat wise, the story still manage to stire good and negative emotions. Making it a solid 6.5/10 for me, as it still keep the interest going despite all the issues.

Boring political drama mixed with boring comedy. Completely lost interest half way through. Seven obnoxious kids from earth have to teach the ignorant people of another world how to trade stocks... The premise for this manga is so absurd you just can't take it seriously. It wants to be this epic world building isakei, but nothing is taken seriously and all the characters are unlikable. It's chapter after chapter of smug condescending children explaining how the economy works while also jokingly making lazer cannons and using cell phones. I honestly have no idea what the author was thinking. If you want fun isekai world building ... just read "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime."
