DISCLAIMER: I am a manga reader. I absolutely LOVE Romance/Slice of Life/Fantasy mixed with a little action! If you don't enjoy those genres this is not for you! I'm writing this review because their aren't any reviews yet. Seeing that there aren't any, I figured I'd help some people out who are on the fence about watching this one.
To start, I will say that I am a sucker for wholesome romance so I am really biased towards stories like these. If you're looking for a nice Fantasy/Romance with well developed characters and a super wholesome relationship, it's a MUST WATCH! The two MCs (Red and Rit) have amazing chemistry. For me, their relationship is what really makes this story stand out. Most Fantasy/Slice of Life tend to have an extremely dense MC who has a ton of girls falling all over him. This story caught my eye because it's the exact opposite. Without spoiling anything, their relationship develops quickly and realistically. There isn't any jealousy or forced relationship drama, just two people with a really strong bond. They aren't afraid to show affection and it's just super wholesome. It really is a breath of fresh air to see that type of thing in a genre that's oversaturated with harems and random relationship drama. I absolutely love how the romance is written!
Alright so I explained a bit about the romance (which is clearly my favorite part), lets dive into the story next. As much as I love the romance, the story is also really entertaining. It does a really good job throwing in twists and turns that you don't expect to keep it interesting. I feel like it's hard to blend Slice of Life/Romance with Action/Adventure and keep a nice balance between the two. Following the hero's party and slowly learning more and more about them is a nice way to mix things up. It's almost like you are experiencing two stories at once. One that's Action/Adventure which follows the hero's party and one that's Romance/Slice of Life which follows the wholesome everyday lives of our MCs. When the two stories end up intertwining with each other it's really well done and better than a ton of other stories trying the same concept.
Again, this review is mostly based off the manga so I'm not quiet sure exactly how the anime will handle everything. That being said, so far it has done a great job of adapting the story. It's almost exactly how the manga adapted everything from the LNs. There are a few changes that helped progress the story a bit faster (like cutting out extra details when they aren't needed or shortening backstories a bit), but overall it's been great so far!
A quick side note: THE OP AND ED ARE BOTH AMAZING!!!
Final thoughts:
I can't wait to watch how the rest of this story is adapted! If you like Romance/Fantasy/Slice of Life with bits of action or just love wholesome romance it's a MUST WATCH! I really can't stress this enough, if you enjoy those genres it's a MUST WATCH!!!! The romance and daily life between our two MCs is some of the most wholesome stuff you can find. The action is used really well to contrast the slice of life aspect. Honestly it's just a really sweet story to sit down and smile to. I also highly recommend the manga! I know all manga readers always preach about the manga so you're probably sick about hearing this, but it's totally worth checking out if you enjoy the story!
Anyway, I hope this review helped you decide whether or not this anime is for you! Thanks for reading and have a great day!
