Light Novel Review: The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent Volume 2

The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent Volume 2 (Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu)- Story & Art by: Yuka Tachibana Yasuyuki Syuri Translation: Julie Goniwich

Warning: Spoilers ahead! (I think?) Check out Volume 1 Review here. A digital review copy was provided by the publisher.

The grand magus Yuri has finally awakened to check Sei's abilities. She goes on training with Yuri and also meets the other summoned girl, Aira. It's getting clearer who's the real saint among the two ladies.

When I first saw the news that it will be animated, the general comment I saw is that it's boring. I don't find it boring but two words that come to mind: too neat. Everything fells perfectly into Sei's favor. The other possible conflict is resolved too quickly. I need something to shake things up. Well, I hope things get harder for our heroine. Haha! I find myself engrossed in reading it like when I'm lost in research. (Ooh very Sei-like too I might add.) Not boring research but like in deep flow reading a topic that I am interested in. Also apparently, characters with overblown powers are overused with isekai. But I haven't seen any recent non-reverse harem isekai for me to be put off with this. But as much as I love Sei's character, I find Aira lacking. Maybe there will be a twist in the future volume to fix this? Maybe that's why Aira gets her spin-off with her reverse harem too. Another thing I find lacking is when they encountered monsters. I was looking for a literal description of the monsters.

The volume is super short since it's part of a series and I have to remind myself that and not be anxious with the developments. In the end, the author mentioned that the story or characters changed based on comments. You have to also consider the writer sharing a story online for users to enjoy and critique. Maybe at first, it was not on the mindset of how it would appear when read like a published novel? I am just assuming here.

So is it a reverse harem? I imagined grand magus Yuri as an old man. Turns out he's young and handsome and another guy that keeps making Sei flustered. Not in a romantic way but more like she can't handle his handsomeness. Albert's brother, Erhart (second to the Magus) is also highlighted on the colored illustration but nothing really significant happened. But Yuri did notice that both brothers are interested in her who normally doesn't take any interest in girls at all. I totally forgot who Erhart was lol I remembered his role but I've forgotten his name. He wasn't what I pictured him to be. In my mind, he kinda looks like Yuri. At this point, Albert is the only one who obviously has romantic feelings for Sei. Jude seems like a friend but you know he can develop feelings for her too since he's very concerned with her while Johann is the mentor figure who would occasionally tease her. The reverse harem is becoming clearer now but still more like surrounded and not the pursued-reverse-harem.

I am not gushing over the book but I think this will make a pretty decent anime. It's safe to assume the anime will cover the second volume since Yuri appeared. It's interesting to note that this and My Next Life as a Villainess both started on user-generated novel publishing site, Shosetsuka ni Naro. More reverse harem anime adaptations, please! Are you excited about the anime? Here are the character designs of the bishonen from the anime. Where's Erhart though? Update: His seiyuu was released yesterday. Ahh, I love the PV.

First Impression: Vampire Dormitory anime Ep. 1-3

Vampire Dormitory anime Ep. 1-3 The vampire Ruka saves Mito who's all alone in the world. Now Ruka can't stand girls and he's oblivious to the fact this his new thrall is actually a girl. The animation is giving we have a budget well because it's Nakayoshi's 70th-anniversary project. I have only read just the first volume of the mang a and it's pretty much the same as far as I can remember with a few inserts from the coven. But what I do clearly remember is that the manga is more risque with the suggestive art. So now, I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not! (lol) Hence, the anime version will be here on the main blog and not on Patreon. It also has cute motifs that one would expect from Yumeiro Patissiere or Shugo Chara. With the cafe, the heart necklace, the strawberries, and the dessert-like brown and red school uniforms. The bloodsucking, ah yes an integral part of all vampire stories in shojosei and whatnot, is reminiscent of the naughtiness of

Manga Review: I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2

I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2 (Akuyaku Reijou Desu ga, Kouyaku Taishou no Yousu ga Ijou Sugiru) Manga by: Ataka Light novel: by Sou Inaida Art by: Hachipsu Wen All Mystia wants is to avoid death in the otome game she is reincarnated in and to keep her family and servants safe.

In the first volume, Mystia meets two of Kyun Kyun Love's suitors, Raid and Eric. In this sequel, we get to see how she meets Jesse, the teacher. For the fourth guy, Robert, it is more of pleasantries. The nicknames in the first volume are still not crystal clear to me. The sparkling prince. The cool tsundere. The gaudy guy. The yakuza teacher. I managed to get the first two mixed up while the other two have yet to unfold their said attributes. The competitiveness between E

Manga Review: Monster and Parent Vol. 2

Monster and Parent Vol. 2 manga story and art by: Ichi Sayo Saika is adjusting to her new life with her family, friends, and godling. But the threat of godeaters looms and an incident causes her godling, Squeak, to be unhappy with her. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher. Check out the first volume review . This volume focuses on Saika's relationships and we gradually see the brothers' character development. The two older brothers Kazuomi and Izumi are still my favorites but I'm leaning toward the oldest. He just cracks me up! But I'm also concerned with where the path of the youngest brother, Aki is going. I like the premise of Monster and Parent but I still need to be blown away with the story. I'm hoping it happens in the succeeding volumes. The godeaters deal is still vague and they are wishy-washy in handling it but it was addressed near the end. I want to see more of the other godlings and their interaction with each other or with the
