Yuusha Yamemasu is one of the most underrated manga I have seen on this site, owing to the first ten or so chapters being "mansplaining the manga", as said by other reviewers. I can see where they come from, but judging a work and even writing a review for it when you have read just ten chapters... feels wrong.

If you stick thru those 10 chapters to the main twist, you will be pleasantly surprised to see that many characters, especially the MC himself, Leo, have gained quite a bit of depth. It is by no means a masterpiece, but I do believe it is something ... most fantasy/isekai fans will enjoy.

In a way comparable to a titan of the genre - Mushoku Tensei - the author explores the MC's trauma and emotions in a decently mature way, working thru them one by one, and building up to emotional moments. There is nothing more satisfying in a work of fiction than seeing that happen - the before and after, seeing your favorite character be happy at long last. It touches on topics that you rarely see in this genre, such as immorality. I found that aspect of the story very interesting and entertaining for myself.

The romance is gentle, each of the main pair coming to like and trust each other more and more as they spend more time with and learn about each other. It is a fun and cute dynamic, which is written way out of its league, like many other aspects of the manga.

At the moment (19/8/23), MAL still has not updated it, but the manga is indeed over, and even though I think that there is much more to the world of Yuusha Yamemasu than there is in the manga, the ending doesnt feel at all forced, rather leaving the reader with an open end, for their imagination to continue the exploits of the Hero and the Demon Queen.

For any Isekai or Fantasy fans, I definitely recommend this manga, even if it can be rough in places, trust me, it will be well worth it.

P.S. You will have to buy the last 9 chapters if you want to read in English, as I believe the groups that translated most of Yuusha Yamemasu dropped it when it started getting released by Yen Press for legal reasons. If you do decide to buy them, the whole series is available on Book Walker.
