A wholesome slice of life manga where a man with a life filled with abuse gets to start a new life in a new world that always encourages him to have fun and take more breaks.
It's a really fun fantasy isekai, it has cute slimes and other cute characters, and it encourages me to give myself better working conditions and time for fun in my life. This has become my go-to comfort book when the uncertainties and pain of taxes and work and being an adult attacks my soul.
I will admit this has the same plot hole as every other isekai manga though. Hundreds of people from Earth have been isekaid into this world, but randomly only Japanese people have been chosen for this out of the entire Earth's population? That makes no sense. Still a soothing story even if that one plot point is silly though.
I will caution you that there's a lot of child labor in this, not just the mind of an adult in a child's body but also actual children doing life threatening work as adventurers. There's also depictions if child abuse both in Earth, and bad guys trying to do child abuse in the fantasy setting before they're stopped.
Also there's a magic pandemic story arc in here which might be too soon for some people who've survived 2020.
