The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter, Vol. 1

This is such a weird little manga about a workaholic accountant who accidentally ends up in another world. The MC reminds me a lot of Yuri in [b:Kyo Kara MAOH!, Vol. 1 3389200 Kyo Kara MAOH!, Vol. 1 Temari Matsumoto https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1461420043l/3389200.SX50.jpg 3429059], so I like him quite a lot. Even though the isekai genre is so overdone in manga/anime, I still really like the premise of being transported to another world and learning the ropes. Sure, there are tons of manga who do it better than here, like [b:Red River, Vol. 1 357399 Red River, Vol. 1 (Red River, #1) Chie Shinohara https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388431212l/357399.SY75.jpg 2290903], but it's still a fun read, especially because the MC is a stereotypical salaryman. It's very incongruous to have some one like him in the middle of a fantasy setting.

3/5 stars

It was an interesting concept, but I felt that more could have been done with its execution. So far, Kondou is shown to be a workaholic with no other motivation other than to complete the task at hand. I really liked how he got excited when he learned he could take potions that could increase his productivity. Unfortunately, he overdoses, causing him to have to sleep with Aresh to save his life. From that point on, Aresh starts to look out for him and take care of him. Consent was a bit iffy, but I liked how they interacted afterward. Kondou is reluctant to accept being taken care of. I will continue to read this series and would recommend it to others to check out.
