I started reading this manga because I saw a recommendation for it few times on different forums - saying it's more than the description tells, has an interesting mature story etc... well let me tell you it's not. It's sh*t... dog tier SH*T.
Story starts with our MC girl transported to another world and the very first thing she does is... Tries to learn about this new world? Nope. Tries to look for a way to return home? Nope. Stick with a person she knows from her original world who got transported with her? Nope. She went to a brothel to the people she knows
...
nothing about and started working as a prostitute... oh btw, she was also a prostitute in her original world despite being a high schooler. What a "charming" MC we have, eh!?
From here we see how she "works", her clients and... and that's pretty much it!!! That might be an interesting premise for a comedy manga, but it's not comedy, in fact there are barely any jokes. Readers just watch how she "services" different men, none of whom are interesting enough to even be memorable.
It could have been a decent hentai but the sex scenes are so boring (and censored on top of it), that even a mediocre ecchi manga would put this to shame. Maybe it could've been a manga about a struggle and overcoming ones limits by hard work in a challenging an unforgiving world? But all her struggles are artificial - she puts herself in such positions and does not do anything to change it.
Are we supposed to be interested in her character, in her story? Well, she's a one-dimensional type with no redeeming qualities and no likability. Should the reader feel compassion towards our MC? Sorry about her situation? That's impossible because as I pointed out she voluntarily puts herself in these situations; she does not try to learn any skills or even thinking about changing her job, blaming "misogyny".
Then what the hell is this even about? Well, that's the question I was asking myself as I was forcing myself to read at least to ch.10. If this manga did not try to take itself seriously and went for the mentioned routes (comedy/hentai) I would not be writing this review and just say "it's obviously not a masterpiece but it's just parody isekai/hentai and it's not trying to be anything else". But that's not the case - this manga seriously tries to preach and be "deep" at times in the topics of treatment of women. In one of the chapters she gets a violent customer and immediately mentions how women are treated badly in that "patriarchal" world, does she maybe refuse to "service" him or set boundaries? Nope, she just charges extra for being violent with her. In another chapter she's being publicly humiliated in a brothel, but tolerates it because... well it's a job (according to her), but again complain how women are treated. Another chapter and she participates in some sort of sport competition along with some boys, well when I say participate - I mean she takes attention of the opposite team by showing her underwear and taking seductive poses. After she's prohibited from participating she blames... no, not her own behavior, she blames "misogynistic" world. That's where I dropped this cause I couldn't stand it any longer. It's like reading complains from someone who voluntarily went to work as a clown in a Circus but then cries that people pay to laugh at him.
Story: 2 non-existant, something happens around but you're unlikely to remember much
Art: 7 the only decent thing here, but even MC look/design barely memorable
Character: 1 mostly pathetic, none likable, I don't feel compassion for any or desire to root for anyone, nor to learn more about any of them
Enjoyment: 1 not sure what am I suppose to enjoy here - sex scenes are boring, story is dull, there are no jokes, characters are boring.
Overall: 2 the manga tries to be what it cannot be or what the authors are not talented enough to make
The only reason I'm writing this review is for people like me, who saw the recommendations somewhere, saw somewhat decent MAL score and thought "maybe I should give it a try"... well don't. Reading 90% of hentai would give you better story, better characters and more joy than this very "deep and mature" manga.
