  A satirical romcom isekai that is entertaining enough

  While not the most original or creative isekai ever convinced, the story is drenched in so much satire that it is impossible not to chuckle at the comedic humor and situations the characters find themselves in. Despite looking like the late night caffeine induced creation of a high school or college student, the manga truly puts the "com" in romcom.

  Jinguuji and Tachibana have more chemistry together than most other protagonists will have in their entire runs. While their relationship isn't the most though provoking or mature, they play off each other in ways that not many authors can manage which is itself praise worthy. The strait laced Jinguuji is a welcome relief to the tired isekai trope characters with his holier than though attitude and impenetrable wall of stoic behavior that comes from being a 32 year old man. Even among middle age protagonists, he is more rounded and relatable than most. The secondary cast is deserving of a little praise. Despite first appearances, even the most foolish and eye roll inducing characters and heroes shine through with enough depth to not write them simply as cardboard cutouts but genuine characters.

  My mine issues with the story as a whole can be summarized in two gripes. One is that the gender bender that he story hinges on is not only completely unnecessary for the story (which is good enough on its own comedic merit to not have to resort to such cringy tropes) but actively hinders the story from reaching greater heights. To be honest, having a normal boy/girl romance where they are constantly bickering but secretly harbor feelings for one another would have been perfectly fine and possibly even better for this story.
  The second gripe is the constant harping on the characters age. We understand that they are 32 but the way they act, its like either a badge of honor or a major character flaw depending on the beat of the story. Not only is this fact brought up almost as often as the reader is reminded that yes, Tachibana is in fact a 32 year old man in a loli body, but is completely irrelevant to the plot as a whole. Even when the two men are put in conjunction with the usual teen protagonists, their age is neither remarkable or interesting. They are no stronger or weaker than the teens.

  All in all, the story is so much of a parody of the isekai genre that it both succeeds as an isekai and a romcom despite the unnecessary inclusions of weird quirks. Could it be better and more original without relying on standard tropes (even if they are played as satire), yes. Personally, I'm curious to see what else comes down the line as the series continues.
