Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy (Light Novel), Vol. 01
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!

J'ai envie de macher mes mots mais... C'est un manga sexiste qui place la femme en objet (ex : première page : présentation des personnages dont deux femmes jolies et sexy, la phrase d'accompagnement : "qui sont donc ces deux jolies femmes ? Lisez pour le savoir", cimer la femme-papier cadeau....)
Spoiler : ce sont les servantes du héros qui vont se battre pour avoir son cœur... Héros qui est dépeint comme moche et qui va attirer ces femmes parce qu'il développe des pouvoirs et qu'il devient fort ohlala...
La cible est probablement les jeunes ados et adultes de genre masculins mais justement peut-être qu'il s'agirait d'arrêter de véhiculer de genre d'image des femmes....
L'histoire est plutôt sympa mais je n'ai pas pu l'apprécier à cause de ce que j'ai souligné plus haut...
De plus, il fait partie d'une sélection manga pour les 11-14 ans mais je pense qu'il n'est pas adapté aux enfants de moins de 14 ans justement... Les femmes sont hyper-sexualisées et certains propos me semblent peu adaptés aussi...

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 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.

Fun reading
It was fun reading, I enjoyed the writing style and kudos to the translation whole team for the great experience, especially because they included the Japanese honorifics, the story would otherwise have lost a lot of nuance.
Having read the original a bit I kinda missed the waka and danna-sama and Tomoe's way of addressing but all in all I really recommend the book and series and if possible also the anime adaptation.

Honestly, the manga and anime are better put together despite being adaptations, and their detail elevated this book. So I really enjoyed it more than I would have had I not been familiar with those.

Enjoyable
I greatly enjoyed reading this light novel and comparing it to the manga and anime, timelines are a little different but knowing the inner thoughts of the characters has given me a better sense of what motivates them. I’m looking forward to volume 2.

I'm so glad you guys licensed this.
After you guys initially published "The Fruit of Evolution" my hope was to see what other series you would eventually and was surprised when I saw that you got Tsukimichi: Moonlight Fantasy too. This volume has been, and I cannot wait to buy the rest of then when they are published.

ITS HERE
I've been reading the web novel and loved it so much I've been waiting for the official English release. Thanks so much.
This series starts off slow but becomes very addictive. I love novels with OP main characters that are hiding it for whatever reason.

Part of the popular isekai genre. He is called to a magical world to become a hero, but the goddess who picked him decides she doesn't want him because he's not handsome enough for her. He's dropped in to the new world without any of the powers that are usually given to heroes and he must make his own way in this new world.
