Kenja No Mago is for two types of people. Rabid fans of the isekai genre, or people who haven't been introduced to the isekai genre. Why? Because Kenja No Mago is the definition of average. It's both what isekai fans want, and what new readers to isekai should, on average, expect.

The story is utterly average. Self insert protagonist is reborn into another world and ridiculously overpowered. Which isn't a bad thing, it's just unoriginal. The protagonist is liked by everyone and talented since birth, has a lovely love interest, good friends, and evil enemy. There is literally not one ounce of originality in the read more

Welcome to the second decade of 21st century where every other series somehow has an MC who gets teleported to another world where is he/she is either reborn or swap bodies. The land where he/she is now is full of magic. There is mana, there are elves, dwarves, shamans, lizardmen, goblins, spirits, faeries, insert-any-Tolkein-fiction-character or trope etc. Our MC somehow retains memories of his/her past life but doesn't really cares because he/she was either a loser/hikikomori or a wage slave and is now really excited with the prospect to explore this brave new world. He/she is open to challenges that this new world awaits but read more

Kenja no Mago? I thought it was really interesting at first, reading the synopsis, unfortunately nothing "new" or original, nonetheless enjoyable.
Let's jump straight into the review and find out why.

Story (6)
As the synopsis say: Shin our main protagonist had a boring life, that's until an accident happened and he died. Reborn in an alterative universe, as a child he was casually saved from a hero. That hero will teach him magic and his other friends will teach him the art of the sword, meanwhile he has the knowledge of his past life and has an incredible magic power. You guessed right, he's OP af.
He was read more

Kenja no Mago is another Isekai manga, a manga where our main character is dropped into a fantasy world after their previous life ended usually by accident such as being hit by a car. Kenja no Mago is great for those seeking manga similar to titles such as "Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari" "Tsuyokute No Saga" and "Tales of Demons and Gods" these being three series I highly recommend if you are enjoying Kenja, or vice versa if you are reading any of those 3, Kenja is a great choice to read while you wait for new chapters.

Story (7): I believe a story should not only be judged based on originality, but also execution. I cannot say that Kenja no Mago (Which onwards of this point I will refer to as KnM) has perfect execution of this popular theme in modern manga, however KnM does a great job of making the reader understand where the MC is coming from, how they feel with each passing moment, and also helps the reader immerse themselves in this fantasy world.

Art (9): It is extremely hard to fault KnM when it comes to art. KnM's fantasy world is beautifully depicted through the art of Shunsuke Ogata and once again helps the reader immerse themselves in the daily life of our MC and how this new world feels to him as an individual. The art style features cute characters and a very Medieval theme to the structure of the towns.

Character (8): I was pleasantly surprised when I realized this series didn't immediately start with the MC getting betrayed by his new found friend, a noble, but instead featured him being assisted by him. Shin's first friend was a Prince who assisted him against an arrogant noble who believes that commoners are bugs and that nobles stand above them. The characters in KnM have a wide variety of personalities (however some cliche) that will make not only following the story of Shin interesting, but his comrades as well.

Enjoyment (9): I've smiled every time I've read and re-read the 15 chapters that are out as I am writing this, you could say I am obsessed with the Isekai genre, and series such as KnM always are enjoyable to read.

Overall (8): Even with all the amazing feats KnM has accomplished as a series, I feel like handing out a 10 is still too much for a series that only currently has 15 english chapters released, however I am sure that if this manga were to be completed, a 9 or even a ranking of 10 would be plausible.

Thank you for reading my review, and definitely be sure to read KnM if you:
1. Enjoy Isekai
2. Enjoy lovey-dovey Romance
3. Enjoy Confident MC's
