There are many famous sayings about being careful of how you treat others, karma, and justice.
—However, there are no quotes that I can find that warn you of being nice to someone, lest they marry your mother and have sex with her repeatedly.
This is the story of
Betrayed by the Hero, I Formed a MILF Party with His Mom!
Our protagonist, Ceres, is kicked out of the hero's party by the arrogant hero, and his childhood friend, Zect, who wants to treat the hero's party like his own personal harem (and he sees Ceres as being in the way of this fantasy). Zect sneers and taunts him as the party kicks him out, triumphantly believing that he's cucking Ceres by taking all the girls for himself.
Ceres however leaves the party without a fuss, and with a smile on his face.
Because what Zect doesn't know is that Ceres never had any interest in the girls in the Hero's party: Ceres is actually a 42 year old Japanese salaryman who was isekai'd into this fantasy world, and always viewed his fellow party members in a strictly paternal way. What's more, Ceres is only attracted to older women.
And Ceres' first love?
Zect's mother, Shizuko.
In this world, the life expectancy is only 50 years, so women over the age of 25 are considered over the hill. So when Ceres coincidentally finds Shizuko for sale in a slave auction, he buys her for a single gold coin, and immediately begins lavishing her with love and attention.
Thus begins Ceres and Shizuko's journey together. But what will happen next? And what will happen when Zect finds out that Ceres is banging his mom?
Betrayed by the Hero, I formed a MILF Party with His Mom
is exactly what it says on the label. If its title alone brings a silly little smile to your face, then this book could be for you. If you're looking for something deeper, something more, keep moving. This is a light-hearted revenge fantasy ecchi with no real grit or angst, and a few pointless action scenes thrown in for filler/to smugly establish that Ceres/Shizuko are better than Zect and the rest of the Hero's Party.
Depending on your definition of MILF, you may be disappointed by what's on offer in MILF Party: MILFs in this world are any women over the age of 25 (Shizuko is in her early 30s), so if you're used to the typical youthful anime MILF, you'll be satisfied, but if you're looking for a more mature specimen, you'll have to keep looking.
Ceres' and Shizuko's relationship is cute and mildly heartwarming, albeit not particularly deep in this volume. Ceres' pursuit of Shizuko is not out of revenge in the slightest, so the revenge-plot is entirely accidental, but for the reader there is definitely an aspect of excitement knowing that at some point Zect will find out, and in the meantime we get to watch the Hero's Party suffer slowly without Ceres' aid.
The art and writing are both passable but neither is anything particularly noteworthy.
★★★☆☆ 3/5. A straightforward ecchi/isekai (and in later volumes, harem) that will lightly satiate your desire to see a jerk's mom get (lovingly) fucked by a guy the jerk tried to screw over.
