Fresh and relaxing, the story is entertaining

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I just buy 2 volume licensed in indonesian language, so far so good!! Seriously the art is so great as for the story if you like drama and travel and cultures youbwill love it. The scenery is so relaxing but entertaining at the same times. I love the chapter about differential race, this fantasy explained it better than others fantasy that i read.

I think if ghibli by some miracle take this manga as a movie, it will become a legend... But if some studio make this as series i hope kyoto animations pick this as their comeback in 2025..

If you have a hard days and want something to relaxing your mind this manga is one of that

Gets worse with each volume

by Mytskine

Rating: N/A

The first volumes were about a boy discovering the world. It was a bit childish, especially the comedy, but the tone was sweet and the world was exotic and intriguing.

As of volume 7, the story is a mess, the pace is slow, with flashbacks and fillers to to make it even slower, and I don't care at all about the myriad of characters that try to fill the void.

Ok this manga is great

I might be reaching when i say this

This manga reminds me of berserk. Now before people get their pitchforks, the reason why it reminds me aboiut beserk is because the setting. Take out all the scary, dark stuff, what are you left with, a nice background with lore that comes with it.

I guess a better comparison is elden ring, whenever you are not fighting the bosses, you are traversing the land, learning more about the places you visit, the people you meet, like the erd tree.

If you like those genres, i believe this manga would suit you well extremely. Keep in mind that there is very little violence from what i have seen so far

Good old fashioned Fantasy

by Sholia

Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

The first volume was good, but hard to get into. I saw it to be slow and boring, and only stuck to it because of the art. As you may notice by the rating, it was worth it. I fell in love with this good old fashioned fantasy story.

Setting:
This manga shows fantasy as it truly is. A sense of exploring a new world full of wonders, history, and culture. The amount of details the author put into this is huge, such that every place has a story.

Characters:
One of my favourite things about this manga. The characters are so diverse and realistic. No Cliché, pre made template characters that are as empty as the Sahara desert. MC is awesome too, I find my self sympathising with the him, sad for when he struggles and proud when he Succeeds (motherly love?).

Art:
I bought the volumes for it. Stopped before V5 because I want to appreciate the beauty in the best possible way. Now I have to hold back from reading it online, it's a nightmare. Anyway the art is super good(Landscapes, cultural clothings, cultural housings, architectures, relics, and characters) all top notch.

I didn't give it a 10/10 because of two things

Foreshadowing spoilers? (Ex not from this story but the same idea "little did they know that this letter would flip the whole world and cause a great war in the future" just stop talking and show me the war in the future) don't spoil your own story for gods sake.
Nothing mind blowing or unexpected, It is a predictable story. Not entirely a negative but it is something I didn't like.
