I can tell you right now. If this series didn't have Tania, I would've dropped it at episode one.
Every now and then a generic isekai or high school rom-com comes along that is able to get through to me. On paper there's no reason to like it, but maybe the plot, artwork or a character will be interesting enough to make it worth my time. I guess this is one of those shows. I'm here from the manga (which is superior in my opinion but nothing to write home about) and I think the animation study did a good job with the material they

Nothing you haven't seen before but its fine for what it is. I try to keep my expectations low when picking up new stories because I tend to enjoy even mediocre ones more. What I wanted was simple action packed underdog story with monsters fighting. That's what I got.
