| A pretty strong first chapter. Osoegawa is a very gintoki like lead who just wants to be lazy but can't stop himself from helping people in need. I like the silly magic being used creatively for combat. |
| This exceeded my expectations; I really enjoyed the first chapter. I doubt this will be a big hit because it feels kind of niche so far, but it sure seems fun. The chapter makes me think of the series as being like RuriDragon except we're on the side of crazy. It's very normal and slice of life, while making these normal things very cozy. However, unlike RuriDragon, which reads like a school slice-of-life most of the time, this series focuses on the magical – the parts where Ruri breaths fire, calls thunder, and more. It emphasizes that magic is subservient to the mundane in this series, which creates an interesting atmosphere that I haven't seen before. Hopefully that made sense. The art was a surprise to me. The characters' expressions are effective, the action is clear, and the art style itself is solid. The art isn't outstanding, but it is more than enough to get the point across. I also think the characters have potential to be interesting; Osoegawa's antics are already entertaining to watch. The most important thing for any comedy series is the comedy. I think this chapter didn't lean too far into the jokes so I can't judge it yet, but the jokes we have seen are at least not eye-rolling; they're rather endearing, actually. It's like I'm not sure what the joke is, but the situation itself is amusing to watch. I like it. I was not expecting to like this at all because comedy battle manga tend to miss on both for me, but I'm somewhat hooked. I'll definitely look forward to more. Hopefully this is executed well in future chapters, since I'm not entirely sure about the formula yet. |
| I like that this kind of has a chiller Gintama vibe to it |
| decent start. reminds me of gintama and early sakamoto days. it has potential so i hope this author pulls through moving forward. |

| This is one of the best first chapters for a new jump series this year. I hope it can ride the momentum and be a staple of the magazine. The characters, personalities, and interactions were great. The humor and gags were spot on, the setting is interesting enough, and the plot is setup nicely. Nothing bad to say about the start to this series. |
