I love this series so much I have the English translation for the next one on pre order. It’s a lovely read I could read it over and over.

I loved the last volume of this manga, but I will say I'm not as much of a fan of this volume. The concept and execution are still well done, but I found that the pacing of this volume was more erratic. One part I enjoyed was

the fact that the FMC and MMC actually confessed to each other rather than being stuck in will-they-won't-they hell

. As delightful as that was, I found that both the romance and the ending felt rather rushed while reading.

I admire the dedication to subvert usual tropes in the isekai genre, but I felt that I had barely met the characters when they got together since it happened within ten chapters. Even so, I wouldn't have minded that much if the last three pages weren't an epilogue with a giant time skip full of important information about their romantic relationship developing. I was mostly confused at the end, being thrown months or years into the future after their confession after only, I cannot stress this enough, ten chapters of knowing these characters.

. 

Even with those gripes (which I am sure I am blowing out of proportion), this book was a lovely read. The issue I have can just be boiled down to pacing, which won't impede much if you're just reading this volume as a cute, turn-your-brain-off romance (which I wholly recommend). As that sort of manga, this volume delivers.

A cozy book lovers manga. Romance is a bit rushed but it’s a fun read.
