The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter, Vol. 1 was so fun and I can't wait to get to the next volume. I think the only other isekai I've read is The Titan's Bride, Vol. 1, but it's definitely something I want to check out more.

This other world is suffering from a miasma, and they need a holy maiden in order to stop it's spread. This time the holy maiden is from our world so they have to magically transport her. What they didn't count on was accidentally getting 2-for-1 when Kondou get's pulled across as well.

This first volume is mainly setting up the world and it's characters, but the romance is hinted at the end and has me v excited to see it develop in the next volume.

[Beth]

This one was just "okay" for me. I didn't think that we'd had enough of Kondou and Aresh interacting before--let's be honest--the author forced them to have sex with each other using a well-worn fanfic trope. On a very petty level, I didn't think half of the characters who were admired for their looks were all that attractive. The story has potential, but it needs to be a little more inventive, character-focused or both to keep me going. If this had been the only volume I'd picked up, I would have dropped the series here. I do have two, so it gets a second chance.

[Rebecca]

A slow start (that it's very much aware of), but this is not only a good take on the usual isekai theme but also a very nice example of how doing "the right thing" can backfire on you. It's a bit like a darker BL version of The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent.

[Your opinion isn't good but I]

First of all, JUST WHAT IS THAT OFFICIAL TRANSLATION TITLE?! The fan translation was much, much better.

But oh well, This is one of the few Otomeisekais I've seen that are NOT ruined by the Romance. Gotta give props for that

Either way, If you've liked The saint's magic power is omnipotent, then you're gonna LOVE this one. It's got everything, even the main character has SEI in his name lol

And well, I'm not sure about the Mary Sue MC, but it doesn't seem like it.

I currently don't have much of an opinion on Aresh, he seems fine though, so fingers crossed

[Jen]

I like how this doesn’t follow the “Saintess”, but the poor person sucked into the other world with her. And while he does not have magical or divine powers, he has the powers of mathematics and working hard! The one scene between the H and H is muted and had a reason other then love, but it made sense of a sort.

4, cute quick read, stars.

[ryan wilkey]

Aresh-san, I too have overdosed on nutritional tonic and need saving!!

(My new fav!)

[L Ann]

Another isekai bl? Yes, ma'am, I'll take it! Thank you very much!! 🙏😆

I had a lot of fun with this, enjoying it a lot more than I initially thought I would. Kondou is neurotically adorable and pairs very well with Aresh's cold demeanor. This volume focuses on introducing all of the characters and setting up the romance. Unlike the only other isekai bl I've read, The Titan's Bride ..🥵!!, there aren't any explicit scenes, but that doesn't mean we don't know what's happening. 😏

The way the author chooses to bring Kondou and Aresh together toward the end is kind of crazy but I liked it. The story moved quickly but didn't feel rushed. I'm excited to jump into volume 2 because I already know that I'm going to love their relationship dynamic. 4.25 stars

[hope]

wow i loved this 😍 i adore the plot and couple so much already

[Chantaal]

I went into this completely blind and honestly can’t remember what put it in my radar…thank you, universe. Isekai with a good helping of Magic Made Me Do It (sort of) kicking off a gay romance? I’m here for it.

[Imanewreader ✨]

bl isekai, let's go !!
they announced an anime in the works ? sign me in !

this was good. i love me a nice isekai with a workaholic who asked to work in the new world he ended up being thrown into..

[Brigi]

Very behind on my reading, so decided to pick up one of the many manga I've had for years and haven't read. Interesting premise with lots of potential! The reason why the main characters become intimate is hilarious XD

[Dani(elle)]

Gayer! Gayer! Gayer!

[rory (jess' version)]

as of now, there's not much chemistry between kondou and aresh. the setting and plot of the story are cliché, and the encounter between both mls is weird, but i find it intriguing. i guess i'll have to see more of how the story will unfold in the following chapters.

[Ashley]

Into it.

[LG (A Library Girl's Familiar Diversions)]

Kondou Seiichirou is an overworked accountant who's heading home one evening when he hears a girl crying out for help. He rushes to her, only to get pulled along with her into a new world where she's expected and wanted and he's...an unexpected extra. The girl, Shiraishi Yua, is named the next Holy Maiden, a girl destined to save the kingdom from a deadly miasma. Kondou is asked what he'd like to do, and he requests an accounting job.

It doesn't take long for Kondou to start digging in places he isn't wanted, attracting some powerful enemies. He notices something fishy going on in the kingdom's accounting books and makes it his personal mission to clean things up and ensure that the country is financially stable enough to weather the hardships he's sure the miasma will soon cause. In the process, he overworks himself to the same degree he was overworked back in his own world, and tries to make up for it with "nutritional tonics." Thankfully, at least one of the people keeping a close eye on him is willing to help him out when he suddenly ends up in trouble.

This reminded me intensely of The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent. Isekai fantasy romance in which two people are accidentally transported into a new world instead of just one. One of those people is a Holy Maiden who's supposed to help dispel a miasma. Instead of being labeled another potential true "Holy Maiden," Kondou, unlike Sei, was just dismissed entirely as being unimportant. However, Kondou, like Sei, requested to be put to work and immediately began overworking himself just as much as he'd done in the real world.

Some differences: Of course, the m/m romance aspect. Plus, Kondou's love interest, Aresh, isn't so much sparklingly perfect as he is intensely serious. Aresh spends pretty much this entire volume glaring at Kondou from the sidelines. Also, there's no sign that Kondou has any magical abilities - he drinks healing potions rather than makes them.

So far, Yua, the Holy Maiden, hasn't gotten much page-time, but it's being strongly hinted at that she's being used and the situation (deadly miasma that only she can clear) may not be exactly what she's been told. Like Aira, she's young, naive, and seems to accept everything she's being told.

As far as the romance goes, that's still in the early stages and not exactly what I'd call romance yet. Basically, Kondou overuses nutritional tonics in an attempt to work past his normal limits and ends up overdosing. Aresh heals him with magic which then causes new problems, as Kondou's non-magical self proves incapable of properly processing all that magic. Infants in this world sometimes have this problem, which their mothers cure by cuddling and holding them in order to gradually build up their tolerance to magic. Kondou's an adult though, and this particular case is more serious than what infants experience, so Aresh has to rely on emergency treatment. Namely, sex. The sex isn't explicit, but it definitely happens...and Kondou's biggest reaction, upon waking up, is horror that he's late for work. Does he remember the sex? I'm not sure.

Anyway, I'm interested to see where this goes and will be reading the next volume.

Extras:

A bonus chapter from the POV of the boy from whom Kondou commissioned an abacus. Also, one full-color illustration and a couple afterwords, one from the artist and one from the original light novel author.

Funny and cute. The art is also very beautiful. This first volume is off to a good start, let's see how this goes.

[Bine]

Ein langsamer Start, durchaus trocken am Anfang... Aber wunderschöner Zeichenstil und der Love Interest hat sehr großes Potential! Die Erklärung, warum die beiden miteinander schlafen müssen, war so trashig an den Haaren herbeigezogen, dass es schon wieder gut war xD

[Cas ✨]

This is surprisingly really freaking cute and I can’t wait for the anime to finish because I adore these characters! I love the “gotta f*ck or you’ll die from magic” trope, but even more so I LOVE the younger man falling (unexpectedly and obliviously) for the older, worn out looking office worker trope (an 8 year age gap is chefs kiss here), especially when the younger man is a rich, savant magical knight that isn’t used to caring or thinking about much at all and suddenly he has the urge to take care of this infuriatingly stubborn but neglectful of his own health man. Soooo good

[Kate♡]

4/5stars

This story is SO fun. The only thing I'm annoyed about is the mc is KINDA the worst type of person ever like alksjdlaskjda he's dropped into this magical fantasy world and was told heres a house and money you don't need to worry about anything and he went yk what this world needs? Capitalism T-T besides him being like that, everything else is so fun

[XOX]

An accountant following a young woman when she got kidnapped into another’s world. The young woman has magic in her and became the holy priestess. He has no power and is suffering as the food and water contains magical elements that is toxic to human.

He brings the work culture with him and do a lot of overtime voluntary. He also do the budgeting for the adventure and set up approvals procedure for military projects.

It is ideal for anyone who is in finance or auditing field. It is also a gay romance. When he cannot eat well, there is a high ranking officer who like him and personally heal him with magic.

[Clar]

VALORACIÓN: 5 estrellas

Tenía muchísimas ganas de leer esta obra. Superó mis expectativas completamente. No deja de lado la trama principal (una persona que es llevada a otro mundo por accidente) para centrarse en la trama romántica.

Se explora el mundo, se da importancia y desarrollo a los personajes secundarios... Y el dibujo es precioso. Enamorada me hallo del prota. Dadle una oportunidad a esta obra ❤️💖❤️

[Rebecca]

This was such a strong first volume with a unique premise and two completely loveable leads. One is a workaholic and possibly too smart and hardworking for his own good. The other is a grumpy knight, and I just adore grumpy love interests. Their paths cross in some amusing, tender, and ultimately sexy ways, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

[Izzy]

The premise of this one isn't something I reach for, but hearing how much my friends have enjoyed it I had to pick it up.

It was really entertaining watching an accountant find his place in this new kingdom, push himself a little too hard and then find a potential love interest.

I'm really excited to pick up volume 2 of this one.

[Shannon]

I have found myself invested in the financial records of a fantasy kingdom.

[Knigoqdec]

Да, анимето започна.
Да, видях това томче в скорошната промоция на една от нашите книжарници и се почувствах леко призвана да го "спася". Защото ако не аз за такива заглавия, то кой хахахах :D
Отделно намирам арта за много сладурски и отговарящ на естетическия ми вкус. Също така героите са ми симпатични, когато изключим някои абсолютно нелепи и дебилски ситуации ала "за жанра", в които се вкарват, както и ужасяващо разнебитения откъм емции Кондо през повечето време.
Всъщност тук се изненадах да го видя една щипчица по-емоционален, отколкото вече свикнах да го виждам. Може би защото имахме мини достъп до чувствата му в някои от сцените, които малко попариха създателите на анимираната версия, поне според мен. Имам надежди, че реално е по-емоционален и нататък, защото иначе аниме версията върви с него като с твърде затворен, закоравял "корпоративен роб", както му е заглавието там, а чак пък такива нива... еее, ся, прекаляваме :D Иначе Ареш и на двете места е чудесно момче и според мен от цялата тази история около него може да се получи много сладка комедия, но засега го карат "сериозната", криво-ляво. Бих си направила упражнението да проследя мангата и нататък, макар че анимето като цяло улавя всичко необходимо, само още мъъъничко доза чувства от Кондо, моля.

[Fraaa]

Where is the chemistry? NONE.
I love the art, so freaking beautiful, but the story? Nah.

The characters? So so. Not gonna lie, I hate the Holy Maiden and her 'clueless, naive, and too kind'-self. She had no logic in her brain at all.

But I like Sei, and his logical reasoning.

Now, the plotline. So far, nothing really special and interesting. I rolled my eyes when they had to have sex, to cure him. I felt it was just the Author looking for reason to add sex scene in the beginning. To sell the story, however for me personally, I prefer if the author build the character's chemistry first.

After all, not like what I was expected, but it was decent.

[Danny_reads]

2.5⭐

This was kinda 'meh'. I'd don't feel like it did anything particularly special - just a middle of the road Isekai.

Usually, I like my Isekais with overpowered main characters, but I was interested to see what this manga would do with a tag-along character as its MC. Nothing interesting really happened in the 1st book, except maybe one instance with the love interest.

I am interested to see how the relationship will develop, but nothing else is really grabbing my attention. I'll probably read 1 more volume to decide if I want to continue with the series.

Ça faisait longtemps que j’avais pas autant apprécié un isekai!!!!!!
