How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom (Manga) Volume 1 by Dojyomaru

2.5

I don't like the art, which is like 90s shonen. The unhumanly huge boobs hanging out are gross and distracting. The main character's face is so old-school that it is also distracting. I dislike the harem aspect. The story doesn't make sense with the hero as a teen boy. If he had been a college grad, his knowledge and wisdom would have been more believable. We're supposed to believe that him reading non-fiction as a teen has made him a perfect ruler?? However, if you're into civil engineering and politics, this is a wet dream. Everything is so clearly explained. The combination of magic and modern day know-how is incredibly satisfying. I don't know about the writing, but I suspect I will like the light novels better than the manga.
