What is a man to do when he accomplishes the one goal that his life is dedicated to? How does a man who knows of nothing aside from duty continue after his purpose is accomplished? Densetsu no Yuusha no Konkatsu illustrates this situation using comedy as well as a look at the main character's thoughts as the events of the story unfold. The best part of this series is that his struggles are something we can all relate to and it allows us to connect with the main character and to feel empathy for him despite the fantasy setting.

Even if you aren't interested in the ... emotional investment, the story is one of a kind and it does throw some nice curveballs especially at the end. Densetsu no Yuusha no Konkatsu also isn't the typical hero's journey that is so commonly used. This story takes place after his main quest and after he's done his hero duties.

This was an enjoyable read and I hope that you will give it a try too.

Based on the cover of the manga I assumed that it would be something like the conquest of various species, but the manga conveyed me with a somewhat different theme, a somewhat retired hero seeking his future wife, based on a superficial knowledge of how to act in society or behave in front of a girl he goes out in search of a romance, hiding his identity as a hero he seeks a girl with a pure heart and who falls in love with him and not for hero status, as you begin to see various points, as society imposes itself, as is the truth ... behind various encounters or accidents of life, a well written and engaging story!

This manga is super average, and I don't mean that in a bad way. To avoid spoilers since this is such a short series I don't think this will be an all too long review.

Densetsu No Yuusha No Konatsu is basically a series of oneshots of dates between the Main Character, and various women. Despite that, it's not some trashy harem that over saturates the Anime/Manga industry. It's fairly innocent and aside from one or two pairings nothing really sticks out or evokes much emotion. That said, I'm a rather cold person most of the time. To most readers I think they'll find this more ... than satisfactory.

The characters are pretty flat for the most of the series. The Main Character goes through little to no development due to the series being so short, and isn't particularly deep or interesting. He is not unlike a child raised in lab with no social interactions. Two of the women he meets however go through great changes in their time and are in my opinion much better for it, and much more interesting characters than the protagonist.

The ending is rushed, and the manga was clearly axed, and honestly I'm not surprised. This series didn't do much to keep itself afloat. I will say though, compared to some manga out there, it is far more deserving of continuation. If you were to ask me if I wanted 200 chapters of Nisekoi or Sousei No Omnyouji or this, I'd pick this every time. As at least this protagonist while generic and somewhat idiotic is much more well done than the protagonists of the series I randomly picked. Also the women he meets often end up better for it, as they often begin somewhat bitchy, which is nice.

All in all, besides my personal gripe which I'll leave after the review I can't say this was anything special, and before some dimwit gets mad at me for rating this series a 5, I go by MAL's ratings and a 5 is equated to average. Since some people need this spelled out even further. Average means something is common in a set of data. Or this manga is similar to most manga of it's genre. No that does not mean I hate it. No that does not mean it's bad, it's just not special or particularly standout like some.



SPOILER - Personal Gripe
As for my personal gripe, I'm just pissed off the best girl which actually treated him well got fucked and married off to some off screen character because plot. I highly doubt anyone would have a problem with the guy who saved the world marrying a princess with whom he has a mutual attraction. And even if they did. Who the hell would stop them. Also, I'd argue she's the best match for him and would help him grow most as a person.
