If you want isekai, focused on slow developing monogamous romance, this is perfect for you. OP protagonist gets isekaied as a bad guy, doesn't care for it, and becomes romantically invested in a girl instead - to a healthy amount. Healthy as in eat your vegetables, not as in horny to hell.
Plot is really really slow, but that's the intended appeal of it. Everything changes slowly. The protagonist earns 5 cents of affection points for every chapter with the heroine in it. But you can still buy some good tasting candy, because this is the 80's or whenever and there is no inflation.
Characters shine in
...
this manga, specifically the side characters. Main girl is extremely plain, and doesn't have any depth at all, but if anything its good for the story. A heroine with more personality would force more to happen and ruin the pacing. Even though the protagonist is as plain as can be too, he is nice enough. What will really keep you coming back each chapter is how each side character will develop or have some of their personality revealed, and progress in their own struggles. It is really addicting.
Art is good for characters, bad for places. No place is really memorable in any way, and they are barely even drawn. Characters look nice but it might just be the style. Their designs are really simple and not very exciting.
Action is nearly nonexistant; it's a character drama generally.
In summary, it's all about the pacing, about seeing characters develop in microincrements. They don't change that much overall, but maybe its fun and refreshing. If you like the idea of that, you would probably like this manga.
