Right off the bat when I read the summary I knew I needed to read this manga…and it did not disappoint. I’m already in love, and invested, with this story and cannot wait for more volumes to drop!


We meet Tsukina a thirty-three-year-old bookworm who’s just living her life. Out of nowhere a blob, claiming to be a god, says “hey you’re a savior and I’m sending you to another world” to which she’s like “Um, maybe if you’d approached me in my early 20s but not now, I’m comfortable with my life and that seems like a young person adventure,” which completely shocks said god. She’s assured she’ll be going regardless but since he recruits a lot she probably won’t be the only savior in the realm so she could just kick back if she wanted to.


Realizing she’s going whether she wants to or not she negotiates herself a great deal which lands her in a well-protected kingdom overseeing her dream…owning a book cafe. Never have I related so fast to a manga. I mean imagine finding out you have to go but you’ll be given magic and you can just do your own thing since multiple saviors have been selected. Sounds like a dream!


Sadly only volume one has been translated and released here in the states but luckily we only have a couple months to wait for volume two! I cannot wait to see Tsukina’s journey unfold!
