For the most part, isekai (trapped in a fantasy world) anime and manga do nothing for me. They seem pretty same-y after a while, and yet new iterations seem to be released every season. I almost didn't pick up this series because I thought it was Just-Another-Isekai .... in a bear costume. It was the bear costume novelty that made me try this series, and I don't regret it for a second.
Yuna is forced into a fantasy world against her will with only an overpowered bear costume for gear. It holds unlimited items, it maxes out her attack power, it's got defense in spades, it allows her to use magic, it heals, it...basically does everything. The humor in this series comes from everyone else's reaction to her being in a cute bear costume, and also single-handedly taking down boss enemies that would normally take more than a few adventurers. It's cute and funny.
In this second volume, Yuna starts putting down roots and getting a full monster harvesting operation off the ground with the help of young Fina who has to take care of her family. Yuna employs her new twin puppets/summons of Kumakyu and Kumayuru to get around and explore their powers. It's more of the same from the first volume, but I don't even care. It's cute, it's funny, it's unique, and I love it dearly.
