As I stated in volume 2's review, I love the whole premise of this manga - a middle-aged woman ends up in a fantasy world, creates a book cafe, and falls in love with a soldier. It's different than many of the manga I read, and the artwork is really beautiful.
I don't know how to deal with the lack of things going on in the book. Yes, it's the whole point, the main character wanted to go to this world and do all the background work and let others get credit, yet I just want to see some type of action. Also, still don't know how to deal with the "romance" I mean, it's cute, and I love how protective Il is of Tsukina. Just give me more cuteness!!!! I get they are older, but that doesn't mean romance should be dead. Also, do they have any other mutual interests outside of books? Where is the romance development?
Also, don't get me started on the obvious flirting of a certain someone!
And finally...did we just get a little bit of non-binary action in here? I am all for it. Give me more.

This book was good though the summary on the back through me off, it mentions we'll be introduced to a new Savior and sets up that he might be a friend or foe...but I didn't get any foe-like vibes while reading.
We do get introduced to another new character as well who has Tsukina unsure of what gender they are but I appreciate that she never directly asks the customer and then when she refers to the customer to Il she just uses "they" since she's unsure of what labels they use. It did have me feeling like the author is a millennial or older though because the character refers to the new customer, in her own mind, and to Il, as androgynous...which feels like a very older millennial term where most people just say non-binary now.
Overall I'm interested to see what these new character introductions will do to the overall story, I'm guessing we'll get shenanigans or misunderstandings in the next volume. 🤔
