The Death Mage Vol. 1-3




A tragedy wipes out Hiroto Amamiya’s whole class. A god suddenly appears and says he will give all of them special protection and skills before reincarnating them in a new world. But when the god makes a mistake, Hiroto goes into his new life without anything at all.

Harem Scale

H: Vandalieu listens to his mommy

A: He doesn’t think of them as women yet

R: Literal baby

E: Tits out, orgasming armor, etc

M: Somehow I’ve been reading this for years without caring

Harem:

Darcia (literal mom); Rita and Saria (living armor); Zadiris (elder loli)

Followers:

Sam (living carriage); menagerie of skeletons

I never thought the day would come when Yondome wa Iyana Shi Zokusei Majutsushi would be translated into English, so I’ve spent a good long while just following scanlations. Now I start again at the beginning and find the translation… less than spectacular, but whatever. I can’t get used to Vandalieu being called Vandal.

Anyway, if you want to watch an emo baby beat the tar out of people, this is it. He gets a harem and his deepest wish is to be happy for once in his damn life. He’s on number 3 and cursed to hell because some lowercase g god was a total moron. It’s a decent enough read, but you have to have a tolerance for the edgy type of masculine manga. Rapey bits. You know the type.

I do not think Remy would enjoy this.

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
