Better than many manga which involves a YOUNGER Protagonist & an OLDER Female lead.
* Adorable Main Characters
* Alluring & Manipulative Female Lead "Demon Lord Of Lust"
* Mature & Overpowered Young Protagonist


1. The protagonist KARNA, although a 13 year kid, is psychologically mature with cheerful personality, yet naive when believing in others. He is straightforward & honest when dealing with others, & won't hesitate to fight if it comes to that. He is even willing to go against humanity for his precious ones. He doesn't go easy even on female characters. (remember GOKU from DBZ?)

2. Yeah! alluring female characters. The main ... female character CECILIA, demon 'lord of lust'. She is more adorable & not just sultry. She is interested in our overpowered MC. And...

3. The story is pretty generic, involves demon lords & subordinates, overpowered MC, humans & heroes, ghosts, various other races.

4. Art is quite good, especially the design of CECILIA. She is adorable when she pouts. (Similar to KANOKON manga)

NOTE : I personally am not into Shouta male leads, but this one is pretty good if you consider the personality of MC who is just as mature as your favorite protagonists.


For now, it's (7/10). ----> It's too early as nothing much has happened, but this one is decent. I might edit the rating as the manga progresses.

- I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is interested in plot and character development.
- I would recommend it for those who have free time, doesn't concern much with the plot (MC is not annoying).

Why not read the first few chapters to find out yourself?


Thanks!

"The Rise Of The Unemployed Wise Man" started off pretty generic. Guy is chased out of hero party to accidentally find the demon king and become her most loyal subordinate. In the process, the demoness falls in love with the young human - wtf guys, wtf.

Other than that odd aspect, I quite enjoyed the story at first. You can't do much wrong with an OP protagonist manga, at least at first, and the nature of the young mage as well as his abilities aren't completely new, but at least I don't often see a young man betrayed by the heroes for being a necromancer who ... tamed the souls of gods, only to have the demon queen try to smash him. Soon he begins to settle into the demon world and start doing more and more badass stuff, which was quite entertaining. Other characters - be it an assassin who just madly loves cats or seemingly evil, unimportant characters who then become important and funny to watch with their silly ways, that you don't see every day.

But unfortunately the entertainment factor decreases here strongly. All the symphatic characters and funny ideas are eventually just through and used up and the answer of the story to counteract is just a boringly normal hero story that could not provide me with any added value. So I red the 120 chapters with wavering interest, but really no desire to continue.

This is one of those manga I wanted to like, but just couldn't. No spoilers ahead. The initial concept seemed interesting, a human necromancer gets expelled from the hero's party and goes on to work with the demons. Could have been nice if it explored some of the obvious dilemmas of working with the enemies of humanity, or the cultural differences between human and demon, demon society or many other potential things. All these are mostly just touched upon and then mostly forgotten, or totally inconsecuential to both characters and story.

It's just... everything is so basic. It's got all the package, demons that are ... just salarymen in suits with horns and wings, titty demons, bland, superficial characters in an empty story.

I can't recommend it. There are way better isekai out there. For another isekai about necromancers that's not that terrible, you could try "Yondome wa Iya na Shizokusei Majutsushi".
