So it looks like we have our typical opposing force group introduced here and it looks like we meet our rival (if he is even going to be considered one in the first place). Kinda reminds me of Bakugo with his hot headed nature. Can't wait to see his development.

"That hair accessory... you're a mage!"
Literally anyone can use one of those things. And what happens if they find a bald mage? How will they identify he? People criticize Gonron Egg (and rightly so), but this manga is just as bad. One of the laziest manga I've seen in a long time.

I wouldn't say he was not that bad, he just didn't want to work overtime

So he is "technically" 32? Literally my age, and he doesn't have wife and kids so it's less depressing for me than Sakamoto Days! 😭

I honestly still enjoyed this chapter, despite what others said about pacing. This series just does dialogue in a way that's so charming to me; it's not even that funny, but it feels so laid-back and cozy.

In fact, chapter 4 is better than chapter 3, in my opinion. A quick mage-of-the-week gets defeated in 8 pages, which feels perfectly fine. This encounter was clearly supposed to be short. In chapter 3, the buildup was much longer, so its conclusion felt underwhelming to a certain extent.

Can't wait to see all these goofballs interact more in future chapters. The elite mage task force honestly sort of resembles Osoegawa and Yobuko, with Urasa being chill and Tsujimura being much more active.
