I read the manga (not the light novel) and a lot of it is slice-of-life comedic scenes. Yuminella is an autistic goth girl (lol), and she gets so much hate from everyone at school. They do have a lot of scenes where she has tutor her classmates to become strong enough to beat the Demon Lord. And so there are some occasional action scenes!

@RobertBobert, it seems so, but not only them. All who play games are the target audience of this magazine.

@Memore So, is the target audience of the work girls who are into video games?

Is this really shoujo? The trailer and art looks like a typical shonen fantasy with a female protagonist.
