Impressions:
Just looking at the title, I passed on this series. The last thing I wanted was more isekai trash with an OP protagonist, especially one who becomes OP through some stupid gimmick. However, when I learned Aoi Yuki was playing the protagonist, I decided to give it a shot. (I like her roles in general but at the time I was enjoying her performance in So I'm a Spider, So What? and was in the mood for more as that series was falling apart at the seams.) It turns out that this is just a charming little slice of life comedy and the protagonist's OP nature simply serves to prevent any other sort of conflict beyond the comedic situation du jour from getting in the way. It's nothing particularly amazing, but it's so thoroughly tame and inoffensive that you'd be hard-pressed finding anything to get angry about. The ensemble cast works together fairly well and while it never gets to laugh-out-loud level, you'll find yourself consistently amused throughout. If you're looking for some nice light viewing, this is worth giving a watch.
