Let's be honest and just between us MEN - hasn't everyone wished for a group of pretty girls who are head over heels in love with you and read your every wish from your lips? But what if the genie wasn't so nice after all and the wish was twisted?
Then you could end up in Crow's situation. A rather mediocre adventurer who became the leader of the most powerful guild because he reached out to people who were down and out and trained them to become the strongest people.
But precisely because they were once in such desperate situations and because Crow dragged them out of
...
the deepest muck, risking or even sacrificing body, soul and dignity, they all became very attached - too attached, you could say. In Japanese / Asian media, there is the character type 'Yandere', which is basically a person (usually female) who is absolutely madly in love with someone and would go over dead bodies for this love - even their own. Crow now has exactly 9 of these characters on his back, while he himself feels out of place because these 9 people are also extremely strong. But when a good friend answers to the question “What are you going to do when I'm no longer your guild master?” with “jump into a chainsaw”, then you can't leave with a clear conscience.
Now some people who are not so familiar with manga, anime and the like may be convinced by this idea alone and read into it, but those who are a bit more familiar with the stuff will know that the idea is not that unusual.
What makes this admittedly very short manga stand out is probably its 'honesty'. At least that's how I would describe it. Usually such stories are lying, promising a weak protagonist and brutal lovers (etc.) but delivering nothing of the sort. But that's not the case here. “Another World's Highest Guild Leader” pulls it off and delivers a weak protagonist and far too strong, brutal lovers and generally very borderline NSFW imagery.
Apart from that, a very interesting dynamic develops that doesn't make everything seem black and white. The protagonist seems to have a tendency to victimize himself, maybe even be depressed, and the Yanderes behave in such extreme ways partly because they want to prevent the protagonist from jumping into the chainsaw himself.
Apart from the fact that this story is very short with 9 chapters, so I want to be a bit careful with my rating and that the full name (“Another World's Highest Guild Leader ~I'm The Weakest In The Guild, But I Can't Quit The Guild Because Of The Heavy Love Of All The Guild Members~”) is once again WAY too long, I have nothing to complain about here. 8 out of 10 potato points!
