It's a very original manga where the protagonist is... treated like a second character. Huh?
It was an interesting perspective, but maybe it wasn't shown in the best way it could have been. It could have been more deep and interesting, but is like the author decided to keep it surface level and focus in how fast can you tell this story rather than how to feel the characters more deeply along with the lore and magic of the world.
Satoki is a girl who is thrown in another world along with Haruka, another girl from her school who happens to be the popular, kind and pretty
...
girl of the class. Totally different from Satoki who's a manga and videogame fan. People in this new world automatically assume Haruka is the chosen one, the magical maiden who came to save them all, because of her looks and attitude. The setting is the typical medieval fantasy world where there's demons, wizards, kings etc.
Satoki is very anxious and doesn't speak for herself, she discovers she's the one with the powers the maiden is supposed to have, and other characters do it too. But they know she's not the best looking, or with the best attitude to fill the 'role', and they force her to hide what she knows so Haruka can be the magical maiden. Haruka lives a fairy tale with a love triangle and pretty clothes and very typical shojo situations while Satoki works like a castle maid and uses her power besides Haruka so she can look like the hero. Satoki suffers constaltly of threats and uncalled abuse just because, while she minimizes herself in the process.
Haruka is hearth kinded, Satoki is super shy and is not a character easy to love, some can find her very desperating and zero hero-like. I was interested in how a 'secondary' character can be treated, how is their perspective. I wasn't completely satisfied, but I think it was a very original story to read.
The drawings look very good, is hard to find a bad looking manga anyways. But I enjoyed it. The humour is not the most briliant either but it made me enjoy the manga.
The ending is not the most safisfying either, but it could been way worse. I'd recommend it just because it's original, at least it was for me!
Sorry for the incongruences or mistakes, english is not my mother language! :) Hope this helps.
