This is a great manga that i honestly can't understand why it's rated so lowly here. It plays with the formula of the usual isekai and shakes things up to bring fresh stuff to the table while being engaging and funny. This honestly is better than a lot of 8.00+ rated overall manga i've read in this plataform

Our two main character are deeply flawed and that makes them so interesting, also the gender-swapping post-life is a cool concept that the author makes the best of it here.

A lot of references to games and shows, amazing art and a compelling story. It can kinda get ... repetitive with the "i am being a burden to him, what will i do?" which is a focus for like 3 or 4 chapters but i guess as of right now (post chapter 49, the last chapter available as i'm writing this review) this won't happen anymore.

The author is very talented in drawing, their double spreads are amazing, and he draws some really hot chicks. There are of course some stuff i don't like, there are mild SA and some bad taste jokes but some of them even add to the plot.

I highly recommend it, such a fun ride.

Pretty interesting manga - there's a good amount to like here, the expressions are great and there are some really funny/charming moments. That said, I feel like this series has some of the most bizarre tonal whiplash I've experienced from a story in a hot minute. We're seriously going from slice-of-life type humor and shenanigans to people getting dismembered, eaten, and raped in the span of a couple pages like... it's not like including dark elements in an otherwise lighthearted story is an issue in itself, but... it really just feels, to me, like the author might be trying to do a little too much ... at once. The pace at which some chapters will switch between gruesome imagery and our regularly scheduled goofy face buddy-buddy family-friendly entertainment is just kinda wild.

It's worth noting that this unbalance seemed toned down a little more in the most recent chapters, so, going forward, it may be a different story - it's not as though adult themes and tongue-in-cheek violence weren't present from the very start, and by and large, I felt like the author was able to pull it off in a way that at least kept the story humorous and engaging; it was a generally entertaining read. However, it's just hard to really get all that invested as a result of that ever-present dissonance between what the manga is and what it seems like it keeps trying to be - I felt like both the characters and the world-building suffered a bit as a result. It's hard to be both a dark fantasy and a whimsical, self-aware fantasy at once, and despite some very entertaining and memorable panels, it's hard for me to see this story sticking the landing. I think if they stuck just a little tiny bit more to the silly stuff, it'd be better for it. But to each their own - if you're an isekai fan looking for something a little different, this one just might float your boat.
