I finally finished this volume :joy: I posted a few chapter-by-chapter impressions in the previous book club but I thought I’d put my overall thoughts here, because, I don’t know, don’t ask me why I choose one thread over another. This was a read I put off for a while because the last time I tried it, it felt quite wordy and slow to read. I feel more adjusted to the cooking and fantasy vocabulary now, though, as well as the writing style of the manga, so I think I could start reading this at a reasonable pace.

I enjoyed this volume! The reinterpretation of magical creatures is quite fun if you’re already familiar with DnD style settings. The last two chapters, especially, were quite fun in that regard (the 動く鎧 chapters). The jokes also made me chuckle so that’s a win too. My favorite character is Marcille, because she’s cute.

I like the author’s art style a lot, she’s good at drawing people that are appealing but not too overly cute. She’s also quite good at backgrounds and I liked all the pages where she got to show off with creative settings and worldbuilding.

In conclusion: As expected, I liked it! Will keep reading for sure.
