Ive read quite a few manga that are (insert type of store) in another world. I always find them quirky and enjoyable. This one is at the top of my list for the ones where i truly enjoyed the first volume. The knights are clearly of German decent and seem to be in a period of renaissance-like time. The pub owner and server are clearly of Asian decent and have a more modern look and feel to both of them.
The confusion of Hans in the start when they first came in and his weariness remind me a lot of how any one would react if they somehow ended up in a new time and place. without it being rude or condescending he is cautious but curious.
You can see the crush starting to develop between Hans and the girl who works as the server in the pub, its puppy love and adorable. The look on his face will make anyone feel giddy to see more.
The glimpse of the back-alley makes you really start to wonder if this pub is a portal between two worlds or times.
When the tax collector comes in and is curious where the pub came from but is just in awe of pasta is the most relatable thing I’ve read in a long time, lets be real most of us can be swayed with pasta. The whole pasta scene is one of my favorite parts in the whole volume. He had a moment like the food critic in ratatouille and it was fantastic.
I dont want to spoil any more of the customers you meet because they are all great in their own way.
The end left me wanting to read more and im so excited to dive in to volume two.
Thank you netgalley and Udon Entertainment for sending me this voume in exchange for an honest review.
