7 high school prodigies with varying abilities are transported into a magical land they have no idea how to navigate. Luckily their skills didn't abandon them in this new land and they will have to use their skills to survive and save those around them. A cute story, with some rather large chested women thrown into the mix, and a group of friends with extraordinary talents makes for a fun and interesting read.

I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. The artist can't draw women's upper bodies to save his life, but the story is a surprisingly trope-free (thus far) isekai adventure with at least one likable protagonist.

[Linda · Rating 3 out of 5]

The plot seems ready made for an anime series, but what saves this series from being just another retread of isekai anime tropes is that the writer actually tries to deal with big ideas: democracy vs monarchy, human rights vs states' rights, economic advantages of slavery vs human cost, the responsibility of introducing new technology to a less developed civilization, are just some of the themes explored. Each of the 7 students brought to this fantasy world have a power that could change this new world profoundly and listening to them debate and solve their moral dilemmas along with winning the battles is what sets this series apart and makes it so much fun.

Decent work

A little all-over-the-place at times, but overall an enjoyable and fun story. I think I'll give volume 2 a try and see how it develops.

I don't think the stakes will really feel with our Mary Sue cast. I'll pass.

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quirky and quick read, but easily forgettable. Won't be picking up the next volume.

[Victoria Kitty · Rating 3 out of 5]

It has a good plot and interesting characters. But I don't know how I feel about the pace yet.

I love the artwork and the story is pretty good.
