Story: something different and fun, if your an isekai head then this will be some form of fresh air to you.

Art: Beautiful and cute a deadly combination for the eyes

Character: Ivy our protagonist is a nice inversion of the common isekai trope of "weak reincarnation but has that 1 skill that's actually way overpowered" trope that's plagued most isekais. She's a genuine weak character that needs to think hard to survive, this may change as its early within the story but right now her survival story is gripping.

Enjoyment: i thoroughly enjoyed it

Overall: this is a fantastic new isekai that you should read at your ... own pace. I would give it a 10/10 but it's still early in its lifespan so I have to rate it a 9/10 for now. this will likely change in the future depending on if it's able to keep its greatness

Alright. This review will be a tad skewed due to reading so many OP MC isekai stories, but I believe this story brings something different in the isekai genre, which is something in of itself. Check my mangalist to see what I base this opinion on.

Story: The story has typical tropes which you find in other isekai with "thrown out from home", but manages to bring new things fast which makes you forget the start. It dives into the story relatively fast without dwelling on travelling from home which is nice and refreshing.

Characters: The MC is reincarnated, but haven't exploited knowledge yet, but you ... still have some... real-world wits about her. She is also weak in comparison to most isekai protagonists. Cute and likeable, and personality thereabouts. But more importantly, she is smarter than many other MCs.

Art: I like the art, it is on the more detailed side of isekai in terms of art, and captures the surroundings better since the MC is smaller than the normal adult or adolescent.

Enjoyment: I have just finished chapter 7 so I have a small platform to stand on in terms of reviewing this manga, but as an isekai fan: so far, so great. I really like the fact that this is a female charachter which don't fall into the trap many other female do such as: being noble, OP, and finding partner fast.

I really like it, and atleast hope you will give it a go. You will find out relatively fast if you like it, so why not.

▶Summary and recommendation: -----------------------------------------------------------------
It is an adventure isekai story with a rare and very good premise. Much like [Ascendance of a Bookworm], the story is told from the perspective of someone who is very weak and vulnerable. Which is quite unusual for the isekai genre which is saturated by power fantasies. It is nonetheless very wholesome despite the dire circumstances the protagonist finds herself in.

I recommend this to fans of isekais who want something new, or are just looking for an fantasy story with a female protagonist.

▶Story: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(I will be making a lot of ... comparisons to [Ascendance of a Bookworm])

Unlike [Ascendance of a Bookworm] this is an adventure / slice of life story set in a European Medieval fantasy setting rather than than focusing on the life of a peasant living in a city.

Both of the stories start out not as a power fantasy but as a "Struggle fantasy". Where the protagonist face less than fantastic odds.
[Ascendance of a Bookworm] however later on became a power fantasy. [The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash] has as of writing not gone down that path, instead being a rare story of someone who is not very powerful trying to survive harsh world. Often relying on the goodness of your everyday people to survive.

This has the potential to be one of the best Isekai stories out there if only it does not lose sight of what makes it unique and good.

Lastly I would like to mention that the isekai part of the premise serves no purpose, and was sadly likely only included due to the popularity of the isekai genre.

▶Characters: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is not a lot of character development in side characters due to the story's focus on traveling and not staying in one place. However when we do see side characters, they are excellently written. As a story focusing on portraying not just the bad in humanity, but also the good and selfless; this story is full of kind and wholesome characters.

▶Artwork: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The artwork is gorgeous, and some of the best among all the isekais on the market. It accurately portrays the vibes of the story throughout.
