Synopsis

Yukito Urabe is the son of a cult founder who worships the omnipotent god, Mitama. To become the next guru of the organization, Yukito participates in a ritual, but it ends up costing him his life. In his final moments, he wishes to be reincarnated in a world without gods and religion.

Just as he desired, Yukito wakes up in a village in a strange and godless world. While gradually bonding with the people around him and adjusting to his new life, he soon discovers this world's grisly reality. As citizens of the ruling empire reach a certain age, they are legally obligated to take their own lives. Furthermore, the villagers that Yukito has grown to know are deemed abnormal by the government for their fear of death.

When Yukito and his newfound friends face execution for disobeying orders, Mitama—the god from Yukito's past life—appears before him and saves them. Clear proof of Mitama's existence reshapes Yukito's warped perceptions, and he realizes that the faith he despises is the key to protecting his new life. Using his previous experiences to create a Mitama-centric religion, Yukito seeks to unite the people under a common ideal to fight against the empire's unjust rule.

Preliminary (23/? eps)

TLDR: This manga is very promising and I recommend picking this up if you want a manga for some laughs in a unique setting and enjoy useless goddesses.

Story - 6
The story, though not done yet, is not very impressive by itself, nor are the conventions of said storytelling. The writing style has generally shifted from an episodic format to a more serialized format with an increasing focus on Yukito's schemes on expanding his cult and defeating the archons. This shift in storytelling does make the narrative as a whole more intriguing overall. Given that the manga's focus is on comedy, being light on story ... is forgivable, though I think am intrigued as to where the author will take the story narratively going forward.

Characters - 6
Overall the characters are rather one dimensional and they generally serve the story rather than driving it. Yukito is really the only mover in the main cast with his goals being to expand the cult and to protect the people of the village. Other movers, the various antagonists, do move the story somewhat and often leaving Yukito reacting to events rather than causing them and finding ways to deal with them. I find the current arrangement satisfactory though others may not. Other characters in the main cast are really funny, but there isn't a significant amount of chemistry between each other.

Art - 10
While not Avant-garde by any span of the imagination, the artist often goes above and beyond what is needed for what could be considered a gag manga. Both battles and the magnitude of them are quite impressive. It is genuinely unfortunate that some panels from the manga could not always be translated to the anime due to tremendous budget constraints. The art of the artist is improving chapter by chapter and I think the artist of the series has some serious potential.

Comparing the manga to the anime, I think that the anime unfortunately is forced to adapt the chapters in an odd fashion and sticks to closely to the manga panels instead of either cutting off redundant establishing shots, inherited from the monthly release of the manga, or reordering the order of events slightly. This also means that the anime starts arcs in the middle of an episode harming it's pacing. The anime does show some initiative in this and I think that the anime adapts certain aspects to enhance the comedy and for that I think it deserves commendations for it's very unique ways of adapting scenes. I do believe that the manga is the original vision for the story, but I also believe that the anime is such a genuinely different experience from the manga, that you are not missing out watching and reading both.

Preliminary (11/? eps)

The manga actually starts really well. But it keeps relying on plot conveniences too much. Important information is not revealed to MC/viewers on purpose for "shock", but our MC despite being smart overlooks bizarre things in this world.

Plot
MC sacrificed by his father('s cult). MC wishes for a world without religion/god and gets transported into isekai village. all good for a while, until FMC and other villagers are forcefully being murdered in a "end of life" system by kingdom. MC tries fighting, and summons goddess Mitama sama (cult's god), who wipes the floor with the guards and successfully goes back to village. Mitama sama needs followers ...
