I read this work by Mizukami Satoshi because I was looking for something short to read. My initial impression was "boring", and I had to put it on-hold for a month. Not because I didn’t want to read it, but because I was busy with work. That being said, as soon as I read the 2nd volume I got hooked. This manga definitely has problems. Those include: weakly written main villain, even more boring enemies that our heroes have to fight and the overreliance on slice-of life content. That being said, even if they are weaknesses, some of them are the strengths of this manga

and carry it. The fights with enemies are simply drawn and easy to follow. The art is not complex, so you won’t have to stare at it long to get all the details. Slice-of life aspect allows to appreciate the characters better.
Okay, now let’s talk about the story. It’s about a young college student and a high school girl who have to stop an evil wizard who wants to destroy the world. Pretty basic stuff. But here's the catch, she wants to destroy the world as well after stopping the bad guy. The college student pledges loyalty to her. Naturally, they find allies who want to stop the wizard and what follows is a story about camaraderie, superpowers and talking magical animals. Two words about the story: basic stuff. It’s not going to blow you away, but you’ll definitely be satisfied since it is done so well. What saves this manga from mediocrity are the characters. There are so many of them and all of them are sufficiently developed in such a short time. However, many of them are not as interesting enough to be going into favorite-character lists. Why? Because, as I said, the story is pretty basic, so their feats are nothing groundbreaking.
All in all, if you are looking for an easy-read, I recommend this one. It’s not going to blow your mind, but at least you’ll be satisfied after you finish it.
