Looks like this manga has been over at Chapter 87? Ending a series in the middle of combat is...terrible, but this was a while ago.

Gunota Ga Mahou was one of the first Isekai Manga titles I have read when I was new to the hobby. Years ago, this series was one of the leading series to properly showcase and integrate modern weaponry into the magical world. Guns of various types, explosives, methods, which are enforced with the concepts of the magic world.

The story itself is okay, the beginning of this series was superb. The good parts end here, the flaw started to unravel itself with ... the story. Development wise, it was the same trope over and over as new girls started to join. The art style was a little odd as it focused on "INTENSE CLOSEUPS" of the characters.

To keep things simple, the only good part of this manga was the Modern Weaponry incorporation. Everything else fell below par and the majority of other Isekai series are better structured than this.

Gun-ota, aka. the Japanese still don't know how to make short titles so don't count on me to fully rewrite it here, is, in itself, a manga with a lot of potential, and is somewhat friendly user, so most people should enjoy it.

Story- 6.5
(Note: the only reason I'm not putting a higher note is because the manga hasn't gotten very far yet, still gonna see how it unfolds) This story follows a young man named Lute, who is starting a nice career at a metal constructor, and everything is going well! He's made nice friends, his workplace is nice etc. that is until the ... poor kid gets stabbed multiple times in the chest (not too lucky huh?) by an unstable psycho who he had known when he was younger. He then revives, as a orphan, in a beautiful world with magic, demons, and half-human girls (hurray for animal ears!). There, he'll grow up with his childhood friend, snow, a white-haired fox girl (maybe he's lucky after all) and will live all kind of adventures! (don't look at me like that, I'm not here to narrate the whole goddam story).

Art- 5
Truthfully, this is the weak point of this manga. Some may say each artist has his own style, but this is a too low quality for a professional manga, but, the story is so fun you'll quickly forget it, and it gets better each chapter anyways.

Characters- 6
The two MC's are actually very well done, while instead of having the usual tsundere as the FMC, you have snow, the new definition of overly-attached girlfriend, without being a psycho nonetheless (damn, you so lucky lute). Lute, on the other hand, has been done quite specially, the character, even as a baby or child, has kept his consciousness of an adult, from his previous life, he's, in that sense, way more mature and is asking some questions you'd never hear from a child, which is, in my opinion, a very interesting concept.

Enjoyment and overall grade: 6.5
Like I said earlier, this manga has a MASSIVE amount of potential, but the author has barely started so we'll have to see how it evolves. This kind of story can be compared to another rather known series, GATE, with very similar concepts (modern weapons in ancient world, action and a bit of romance, comedy, harem ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), etc.) if you like this kind of story this manga is made for you, if not, well, you may keep scrolling.

First, I must say I do not usually drop any title I have started, but this one managed to get me do it (After I read the first 26 chapters). Also, excuse my poor english, if you find any gross mistakes in my grammar or orthography.

Now to the point:

This is a power fantasy of a manga, where the main character is just awesome and everybody loves him. This is not an uncommon thing, as anybody who has read some Isekai manga surely knows, but this one I found particularly dumb and dishonest.

The art is decent (Not very good tho), but the characters and ... plot are just... not good. And let's not speak about the treatment of the female characters of the story by the MC. I do not like to add modern politics and stances to my manga, because I understand Japan is a very different culture that my own, and many times manga covers very different societies and temporal eras, but this is one of the first manga to make me cringe because of the representation of female characters.

Seriously, not good. If you want to read some isekai just to let your mind wander off, I'd recommend Isekai Kenkokuki, Botsuraku Youtei Nanode or Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami, instead of this filth.
