This is charming!
I'm enjoying the clean lines of this style. The author knows human proportions well and shows it in their work. It's very pleasing on the eyes.
The beginning was the most confusing part. We needed to have some sort of knowledge of what was happening, which did eventually come. However, we were thrown into the story in this instance and I feel that wasn't he best thing to do, with their story.
Once you get into the story, it reads like an RPG game story with little quirks. The overall story is deeper than it seems. There is humor but it's cleverly placed. It's obviously not done by an novice because of how rich the story seems.
I don't exactly trust the main character, but he's definitely interesting. His relationships with other characters is quite strange. I'm interested in learning his backstory and his motives.
Can't wait for the next!

Received a copy from netGally for an honest review.
First things first, I like how the introduction was made. Liz got teleported or find himself in another world that is identical to his. The thing I did like was that he didn’t same scared by it, rather he took it calmly and handle it rationally which I find kind of unrealistic, if ever I find myself in that situation I’ll literally panic. But that eventually intrigued me and made me sucked into his character more.
As for Gil and Liz relationship, I don’t know but I did felt that this series might be a fantasy BL manga in some instance or scenes that just screams bromance or I just read so many BL mangas and webcomics.
Also the whole adventure part seemed to be too easy that Liz our main character wasn’t having a hard time at all which for me is okay but unrealistic again.
Overall, the manga really did well into sucking me with the whole curiosity that I think was okay. The characters as well, I’m very intrigued with Liz’s character.

An interesting world with so many open questions still after the first volume.

Odd and confusing but fun. I don't really understand the premise but it has some interesting characters and decent art.

I received this manga from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
Meet Lizel, a nobleman who finds himself in a city that looks like his.. but isn’t. He decides to stay calm and enjoy the time off. Yep. The premise to this manga sounds amazing and of course I had to click the Read Now.
From the start I loved Lizel. How calm he was, how he didn’t waver or panic despite how people looked at him. I loved how he inventorized his situations and decided to get some items by selling some of his things. How he calmly went looking for information and people to trust. It was actually quite hilarious how calm Lizel was. Nothing fazed him and I could already see the direction this story would be going and I was very eager for it.
I loved how he asked Gil all the questions and adapted to life at the town/world. Of course, still determined to get back, but why not relax first.

I needed something light to counteract my mood and this very much fit the bill. I enjoyed getting to spend time with the characters, though I'm still not entirely clear about some of the plot points. WHY does everyone immediately adore the main protagonist? I may never know. But then, I'm continuing to read, so maybe that's my answer.
