Synopsis:

Makoto Misumi was an average, everyday high schooler, who found himself shipped off to another world at his parents’ whims. Upon arrival, however, he’s insulted by the Goddess for being too ugly and thrown into a desolate wasteland. He frantically searches for human warmth and connection, but can find nothing but monsters and inhuman settlers. When he finally meets companions he can trust, they turn out to be a pair of powerful perverts in a former dragon and a former giant spider! His high-octane, incredibly misfortunate trek through this foreign world has only just begun! (Source: Hanashi Media)

A Monster at World’s Edge!

Written by Kei Azumi and illustrated by Mitsuaki Matsumoto, Hanashi Media’s latest acquisition is a comedic fantasy isekai series that many may recognise.

Whether familiar with the anime or a newcomer to the series, Tsukimichi’s first volume makes for a great opener. Despite treading on what is now familiar ground, this series shows why this isekai sub-genre became popular in the first place.

The key to encapsulating the essence of a harsh start to Isekai life comes from the author’s composition of a protagonist. Far from the usual mild-mannered hero, Makoto Misumi isn’t afraid to speak his mind. His raw and unfiltered feelings toward a world that sends nothing but bullshit his way helps bring his experiences within the world to life.

Furthermore, I personally like the author’s decision to have Makoto be a descendant of those from the Isekai world.

As part of this background, it is revealed that to earn their place on Earth, Makoto’s parents had to promise one of their children to the Isekai world. As a result, they’ve been secretly training both Makoto and his sisters from birth to prepare them for a world where fighting is a part of everyday life. This eventually sets up a good explanation as to why Makoto is so calm in the face of terrifying monsters and horrifying situations.

The Tale of a Dragon and Spider

For the series’ first volume, the story follows Makoto as he journeys through the edge in the hopes of discovering fellow humans as well as introducing his main companions for the trip.

Whilst this type of journey would be nothing out of the ordinary for any isekai series, it’s led to stand out from the crowd through the introduction of his legendary beast companions.

Tomoe and Mio are great additions to the series. Both legendary creatures, the contract that bonds them together with Makoto reveals them to be rather unique characters. A weeaboo for Samurai culture and a masochist with a taste for blood, they send the chaotic nature of the series to new limits as they cause Makoto no end of trouble. Martial arts training can only do so much when your overpowered companions are extremely unpredictable and can destroy a town with the slash of a sword.

In conclusion, Tsukimichi’s first instalment makes for a great introduction to the series for anime aficionados and newcomers alike. Hanashi Media’s translators have done an excellent job of keeping the humour and Makoto’s unfiltered emotions that make the series iconic. This, coupled with unique characters and ample amounts of chaos, and you’ve got yourself a smash series.

The Fruit of Evolution Vol. 8 Review

Cover Illustration for Volume 8

Synopsis:

In the royal city of Teruber, a historic meeting was held between King Lanze of the Kingdom of Wimburg and Rutia, the daughter of the Demon King. This meeting, intended to bridge the divide between demons and humans, was suddenly disrupted by a violent assault from the “Majin Cult”. Despite valiant resistance, Rutia fell victim to a curse from the cult’s attack. The situation escalated with the approach of an enemy army, among whom shockingly included the parents of Saria. The highly anticipated eighth instalment of this beloved series unfolds! (Source: Hanashi Media)

A Game of Dungeons and Demons!

Continuing to ascend from the realms of humanity, the eighth instalment of The Fruit of Evolution sees the return of an evil cult and an introduction to some slithery foes.

Picking up where the previous volume left off, the latest release finds the Kingdom of Wimburg embroiled in a battle against The Cult of the Wicked One. A hard-fought affair, the kingdom’s most valiant heroes face down fearsome foes. Luckily, their salvation might be around the corner as an unexpected group joins the fray. Meanwhile, Seiichi faces foes of his own. Asked to scope out a new dungeon, he and his friends come face to face with monsters, traps and a sentient dungeon?! 

The Cult Returns

Returning to Terbelle for the novel’s first half, the plot finds the nation under attack during an important peace negotiation. With Seiichi noticeably absent from the action, this part of the story allows others to share in the spotlight for a little bit.

Making themselves the MVPs of the performance, the underworld heroes prove themselves to be every bit as overpowered as Seiichi. Moreover, this part of the novel provides some excellent moments as Saria’s parents are introduced to the series, and they are exactly as strange as you’d expect them to be.

Seiichi’s only role in this section is as a saviour to the demon king’s daughter. Known as Routier, even she’s not immune to Seiichi’s secret skill of harem king.

A Slithering Dungeon

The latter half of the novel finds Seiichi and his companions in their element as they go dungeon diving. A well-put-together segment, it plays to the strengths of the series – comedy and absurdism.

Putting the whole gang back together was a great idea. There’s nothing more crazy to the series than when all their quirks work together in perfect harmony. Constantly setting off traps and getting friendly with the enemy, they cause headache after headache for Seiichi, much to my personal glee.

This dungeon dive also sees the return of the tragic dungeon boss’ tale. All about an accidental medusa, it differs from others in the series by having a happy ending. Unlike the others, Zora is alive and has a fully fixable problem, which means zany solutions and another member added to the harem.

The Fruit of Evolution’s eighth instalment proves to be yet another strong entry into the series. Featuring a hilarious dungeon dive with all the main characters and a battle that highlights some of the lesser-developed side characters, it shows promise for the series as it heads into its final stretch.

The Fruit of Evolution Vol. 7 Review

Cover Illustration for Volume 7

Synopsis:

In the midst of the academy’s intra-school magic competition, the sinister Demon Cult finally showed its true colors. Seiichi, using his unparalleled cheat abilities, managed to neutralize the enemies. However, in their final act of defiance, a spell was cast, sending Seiichi to the underworld. The sudden and tragic demise of Seiichi left everyone in shock. Yet, Saria and the others unwaveringly believed, “Seiichi will be alright,” holding onto the hope that he would return alive.

Meanwhile, in the underworld, Seiichi found himself on a quest to defeat the King of Evil Spirits in order to return to the living. Even in death, his cheat abilities don’t fail him!? The highly anticipated seventh instalment of the popular series is here! (Source: Hanashi Media)

Heroes, Demons and The Underworld!

Seiichi Fights the Separation Arc

Landing in the underworld, my newest review catches up on the latest adventures of Seiichi and the gang as The Fruit of Evolution reaches its seventh volume.

Continuing off from Seiichi’s surprise visit to the land of the dead, the latest volume in the series starts with the titular protagonist coming up against the undead king to gain his freedom. In this series’ signature slapstick style, however, Seiichi’s ascendancy to something beyond godhood leads hilariously to one of the shortest separation arcs in light novel history – defeating the strongest undead before it can finish its speech. 

If that wasn’t enough of a surprise, in a showcase of just how inhuman he’s become, Seiichi manages to resurrect a few friends from the past, including his own parents. Knowing this series, though, there’s a good chance that they were only brought back simply for the unique commentary they’d bring on discovering that their son is not only popular but also has his own harem.

Danger and Diplomacy

Seiiichi’s return to the academy also signifies the start of the two main plots for the volume.

The first focuses on the problems that have been occurring at the academy ever since Seiichi’s forced trip. After Class F’s surprising achievements at the school’s tournament, they’ve been getting all the wrong sort of attention, especially from the Japanese heroes. Their overly-cocky attitude comes to a head in this volume when they discover that hitting on Seiichi’s wives leads to many a problem. Under the barrage of attacks from Seiichi, they quickly realise that they’re not all-powerful. 

The second and final plot of the volume takes place as the story reaches its climax. In a continuance to the Kingdom of Windberg’s quest for peace, they decide it’s high time to hold talks with the Demonkin. Whilst the meeting between Terbelle’s finest perverts and a host of demons is a sight to behold, it is eventually interrupted by the cult of the Wicked One. Hell-bent on stopping proceedings, it leads to an equally matched battle that could go either way without Seiichi’s help.

Overall, the seventh volume of The Fruit of Evolution is one of its strongest outings to date. Featuring a complete reversal for the separation arc, a conflict between the heroes and Seiichi, and new developments in the peace talks, there’s lots of promise for the series as it heads into its eighth instalment.

The Fruit of Evolution Vol. 6 Review

Cover Illustration for Volume 6

Synopsis:

Seiichi has finally begun his full-fledged teaching life at the magic academy. However, the F class he is in charge of consists solely of students with quirks and multiple issues. Above all, they are burdened with the handicap of being unable to use magic and are treated as inferior students. For starters, Seiichi uses his inherent cheat-like abilities to teach them magic. But during the inter-school competition, will the lowest-ranked rise in rebellion, turning the tables on the rest? Set in a magic academy swirling with conspiracies, this is the eagerly anticipated 6th installment of the popular series! (Source: Hanashi Media)

Failures and the Clash of Classes!

An Underdog Story

Settling down as a teacher, my latest review follows Seiichi’s latest misadventures as he starts to stir up a whole host of chaos at the world-famous magic academy.

Reaching its sixth volume, the series turns to parodying the tale of the underdog. As Seiichi is hired as the latest member of the magic academy’s faculty, his job is to see the failures of Class F turned from zeroes to heroes. In classic Fruit of Evolution fashion, however, things don’t go to plan as Seiichi’s overpowered abilities sees his class forgo a training arc to becoming some of the strongest students in the entire school.

This weak-to-strong development for Class F comes just in time, as coinciding with Seiichi’s arrival is the clash of classes, the academy’s very own tournament. Just as the name suggests, the tournament pits different classes against each other in a test of magical ability. This latest competition also has a special meaning for Class F due to Class S’s constant insults and abuse.

What follows is almost a flash-forward through the climax sequences of an underdog story as years of trauma between the classes are hilariously wiped away almost instantly. With their newfound abilities, the members of Class F absolutely trounce the horrors of Class S.

Seiichi’s a Dead Man

For the volume’s climax, the end of the tournament is disrupted by a high-ranking Cult of the Wicked One member. An uncharacteristically strong (and creepy) opponent for this series, he easily cuts through members of Seiichi’s harem. Even Seiichi himself has problems, only escaping through “death.”

The final moments of the volume set the scene for one of my own personal least favourite tropes in isekai, a protagonist separated from the usual cast of characters. Thankfully, Seiichi’s time in the underworld looks to be short-lived as a fight with Phantasmal King seems to be just around the corner.

To conclude, The Fruit of Evolution’s latest foray into parodying an underdog story makes for a fun addition to this slapstick series.

As Seiichi continues to make monsters out of everyone he teaches, the end of this volume sees the series reach a new changing point. Now a member of the underworld, there are sure to be fresh challenges ahead for this former fatty.

The Fruit of Evolution Vol. 5 Review

Tags: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Comedy, Romance, Harem, Isekai

Sub-Tags: OP, Strong Lead, Slapstick, Dungeons

Cover Illustration for Volume 5

Synopsis:

In the bustling capital, Seiichi effortlessly annihilates a horde of demons that have attacked the city, thanks to his exceptional cheat skills. Witnessing his heroic feat, the renowned archmage, Barnabas, recruits Seiichi as a teacher at the Magic Academy. Perplexed by the sudden offer, Seiichi becomes concerned about his former classmates who attend the academy as “heroes.” In order to alleviate his worries, he resolves to become a teacher under the condition that Saria and the others join him.

However, it appears that the class assigned to Seiichi is a problematic one, filled with students who have their own unique circumstances. As he reunites with old friends, a new threat from the demonic side emerges. Set against the backdrop of the Magic Academy, the highly anticipated Volume 5 of this captivating tale accelerates the story to new heights! (Source: Hanashi Media)

Seiichi’s School Reunion!

A Teacher of Misfits

Reaching the fifth volume and Seiichi’s time in Terbelle has come to an end. Getting an offer from the continent’s most renowned magical academy, Seiichi’s latest adventure sees him don the role of teacher. If Seiichi thought he was in for a much more relaxed time away from a crowd of perverts and monsters, however, then he couldn’t be more wrong.

Taken in straight at the deep end, The Fruit of Evolution’s titular protagonist is given a job teaching some of the more challenging students at the school. A cast of colourful characters, each student member of class F could be considered on the extreme end of the spectrum. From a student who views herself as the literal incarnation of perfection to another whose lack of self-esteem precludes him from writing anything but sorry, these students ensure neither Seiichi nor the reader ends up with a dull moment. 

Luckily, Seiichi isn’t alone in his teaching endeavour. His harem of wives and girlfriends are with him every step, either as students or teachers themselves, to ensure he doesn’t lose his sanity – although sometimes they end up adding to the mayhem.

An Unexpected Reunion

In between inspiring the next generation, the story moves towards creating a much-anticipated reunion. Aside from Seiichi’s main perspective, one of the very few other points of view comes through watching the trials and tribulations of his former classmates as they learn the burden of heroism. Since its introduction, there’s been a constant tease of the two perspectives getting closer and closer to one another, making a reunion inevitable.

The first familiar face for Seiichi comes in the form of his childhood friend and class president, Kannazuki. As to be expected, she’s as much in love with Seichii as his other harem members, perhaps some might say to a dangerous degree.

Upon their chance encounter, there’s a wonderful moment of consistency from the protagonist. Given his recent history with the device, it isn’t long before Seiichi notices an amulet of subordination on Kannazuki’s wrist. Seeing this terrible device puts Seiichi in a spin, knocking out half of the school through his powers of pressure.

After witnessing the Kaizell Empire’s horrifying tactics once again, it provides the protagonist with a renewed goal for the next arc – stopping the empire.

As the series starts a new arc, the latest volume makes a great effort to show the amount of development Seiichi has gathered since his start in the new world. For one, becoming a teacher to a group of students in a similar predicament to his back on earth shows that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. Secondly, Seiichi’s reunion with his former classmates goes off without a hitch, likely not the case had he met them any sooner.

Overall, The Fruit of Evolution’s fifth instalment manages to keep a level of insanity and slapstick that makes the series still feel fresh whilst showcasing a good level of development on the part of the protagonist.

The Fruit of Evolution Vol. 4 Review

Cover Illustration for Volume 4

Synopsis:

Thanks to Seiichi’s efforts, the Kingdom of Windberg is able to stave off an attempt on its king’s life. At nearly the same time, however, a different assassin attacks the ruler of the Kaizell Empire, where Seiichi’s classmates are being held. Kaizell’s strongest knight Zakiya pursues the attacker, the heinous Hellsmoke. When the mighty knight finally catches his mark, however, the horrible truth behind the Empire is revealed!

The Empire, Adventurers’ Guild, demonkin, and Heroes finally cross paths in the dynamic fourth volume of The Fruit of Evolution! (Source: Hanashi Media)

A Battle to Save the Kingdom of Windberg!

The Monsters Attack

Following Seiichi’s successful thwarting of the King’s assassination, The Fruit of Evolution’s fourth volume features the climax to the series’ first arc. The evil empire of Kaizell isn’t the only group gunning for Windberg’s destruction, as the Demon Lord’s army has finally decided to make their move.

As a monster horde descends on the capital, knights and adventurers alike join the fray to defend their homeland. Chief among the participants are Seiichi and his gang and all the characters they’ve met while calling Windberg their home. It turns out that being unabashed perverts makes up only part of their personality. As it turns out, all that stands between them and becoming S-rank adventurers is their strange proclivities. 

The battle itself makes for a great place to showcase all the strange skills shared by the people of Windberg – from Saria’s gorilla arms to the muscle strength of the guildmaster. Unfortunately for Seiichi, even in amongst these strange spectacles, he still manages to stand out, killing all the monsters in one foul swoop driving himself closer and closer to becoming the ultimate monstrosity.

Art, Food and Culture

Away from the ferocities of battle, the fourth volume of the series still has plenty of comedy and downtime. This volume’s linking theme is culture, and Seiichi’s group are determined to experience it to the fullest.

Lulune gets the heaviest focus, going on the longest date of the three. To nobody’s surprise, their date involves food, specifically an eating contest. Expect a large amount of word puns to be thrown around here.

Other comedic highlights include a theatre date where the performance is a cultural import from Earth and an art competition making Seiichi the star of the show.

Overall, The Fruit of Evolution’s fourth outing continues its signature zany comedic style, this time offering a small amount of redemption to the capital’s perverted adventurers as the series moves on to new pastures. With a reunion between Seiichi and his former classmates imminent, I expect a lot of chaos to come from the next couple of volumes!

Cover Illustration for Volume 3

Synopsis:

After clearing the Black Dragon God’s dungeon with the help of the beautiful adventurer Altria, Seiichi and Saria are accepted into the Guild as full-fledged members. Not long after starting his work, he decides to buy a horse, but takes a liking to Lulune the donkey instead. That’s all fine and well-Seiichi ends up registering his new steed in the great Capital Cup Derby! Meanwhile, the country his classmates were summoned in-the Kaizell Empire-begins moving in the shadows, and the demonkin of the Demon Realm reply in turn? (Source: Hanashi Media)

Seiichi Goes to the Races!

Love and Avoidance

Continuing where Evolution’s second volume left off, the latest in the series finds a sense of awkwardness between Altria and Seiichi. Seiichi’s unplanned proposal has left the two of them with an ultimatum – whether to take their relationship forward, making a twosome into a threesome, so to speak.

As is the case for most harem series, reluctance toward polyamory is quickly put to rest, and a confession ends on a positive.

I do find myself rather enjoying this confession scene as it gives first love the importance it deserves. Moreover, with Altria joining the fold, it has given some time for Seiichi to reflect. The author shows that Seiichi has some self-awareness, realising that if it wasn’t for the fairer sex, he’d be stuck between a rock and hard place.

The Difference Between a Horse and a Donkey

Having settled their romantic issues, the story then turns back to adventuring. Becoming an adventurer with a reputation requires the right equipment, specifically a horse. Although, as with most things in this series, the best-laid plans often go awry.

Reading through this section of the volume, you can tell just how much fun the author and the translators had with this plot. It is genuinely hysterical. The running gag of creatures that aren’t horses is great. We’re treated to a plethora of different riding species, all of whom fail to meet Seiichi’s expectations – from bullying dragon horses, a being of pure chaos, to a Dorse, a creature so stupid it even forgets it’s dead. 

In the end, Seiichi picks a donkey named Lulune. Stubborn and proud, she ultimately makes a good companion for the gang and, true to form for the series, ends up turning into a woman and eventual harem candidate.

Kaizell and the Heroes

Finally, the latest volume illuminates the true motives behind the Kaizell Empire. In every previous volume, the reader has been drip-fed information that has painted the Empire in a bad light. As it turns out, the Empire is just as bad as the stories have told.

There’s no length that they would not go to defeat the demonkin. Enslaving the heroes from another world and attempting to assassinate another kingdom’s sovereign – they’re turning into quite the antagonists for Seiichi in later volumes.

To conclude, the third volume of The Fruit of Evolution continues to be a fun read. Still retaining its charm and humour, those who are fans of the series won’t be disappointed – Seiichi’s dealings with the donkey making a particular highlight!

Cover Illustration for Volume 2

Synopsis:

After vanquishing Zeanos, Seiichi and Saria are finally able to leave the Forest of Endless Heartbreak. They make for the Royal Capital of Terbelle and attempt to register at the guild as adventurers. However, the guild is a den of perverts and deviants, from the sadistic receptionist and the speedo-clad bodybuilding guildmaster! Seiichi is left equal parts repulsed and confused—until he is introduced to his entrance exam proctor, the gorgeous Altria the Calamity. Rumor has it that whoever gets close to her is stricken with endless misfortune…

Wherever Seiichi goes, the fantasy hijinks are sure to follow in the highly-anticipated second volume of the Fruit of Evolution! (Source: Hanashi Media)

Seiichi and Saria Head for the City!

Returning with a new review, the first of this week sees a return of Seiichi’s misadventures alongside his gorilla bride Saria.

The second volume in the series has Seiichi and Saria finally out of the forest dungeon and exploring the wider kingdom. They eventually end up at the royal capital of Terbelle and registering at the guild. Unfortunately, the guild is filled with world-class deviants and perverts.

Deciding to continue with the guild’s exam, their proctor ends up being Altria. Whilst most would consider being saddled with this beauty a blessing, she’s cursed with misfortune and those who end up too close become just as unlucky. Will Seiichi stave off bad luck to complete the guild exam, or will it bring perils beyond even those of the Forest of Endless Heartbreak?

The Perverts and the Calamity

Continuing from the previous volume, Seiichi was likely hoping for an end to all the zany madness after escaping the Forest of Endless Heartbreak. Unfortunately for him, this volume ups the ante, showing that the humans of this world can be every bit as insane.

Following a warning from the guards, their visit to the guild opens them up to a world they’d rather have kept closed. Exposed to unabashed debauchery and deviancy, it makes for one hell of a welcome to the royal capital.

For the comedic effect, some of these work better than others. The speedo guy and dominatrix receptionist have more than just a caricature. Others made for just odd additions, for example, the three guy welcome party. Thankfully, these oddities are interrupted by the star of the volume, Altria.

Much like in the anime, she quickly becomes one of my favourite characters in the series. This volume gives Altria a nice little character arc; unblemished by her calamity, she retains her kind nature, a nature which is repaid in kind at the volume’s conclusion. This is also spurred on by both Seiichi and Saria’s oblivious sensibilities. They don’t care about her curse, it doesn’t matter to them that she brings bad luck, what matters is how she still helps regardless.

Heroes and Demons

Altria’s curse does, unfortunately, activate, leading to this volume’s dungeon exploration and boss fight. In this case, the boss battle happens to be against a dragon god. A slight struggle later, it’s defeated.

In return for victory, alongside all the new skills and levels, is yet another sad biography. More insightful than previous entries, the biography finally gets Seiichi to use his brain and think critically.

The life of the dragon god is a tragic classic. Betrayed by the humans he once protected and living to see the horrific death of his only friend, it provides a fuller picture of the world to Seiichi and reveals that humans and heroes may not be the force for good he’s been led to believe.

Overall, The Fruit of Evolution’s second volume remains a fun, comedic read. The introduction of Altria is a good move for the series, a more fleshed-out character with ample reason to join Seichii’s growing harem. The lack of a conclusion to the confession gives a good incentive to see what happens in the next volume.
