tldr, read it, it's good

Criminally underrated, the excitement this manga provides is soooo much higher than the average stuff coming out recently. It makes me want to cry that this isn't going to be a long running series, I would happily pay for even just another volume. The thing that really makes this manga stand out is the characters unlikeable, likeable, they're all incredibly interesting. I'm a sucker for any manga that focuses on the villain more than the hero, but the more neutral already lost demon lord in this one brings so much to the story. The relationship the protagonist has with his parents ... and how lonely he is truly is remarkable. I'm so sad bro...

If you are looking at this review I just want to say this is not a complete story. I don't know the specifics but it was axed at chapter 18. The story ends before it can actually solidify itself. However the setup for the main story are still worth reading. So if you can bear reading an unfinished piece of work it's worth a shot. The best chapter is 10 so I recommend at least read to that chapter, as its pretty unique and a decent twist.

Overall its quite unfortunate that this got axed as it had a good premise and a nice twist. It ... is adapted from a web novel, so if u are really interested you can check that out, although I can't comment on how good that is as I haven't read it myself.

Oha- to my own surprise, I have now read through a manga for the first time. Although that was not really difficult, where he has only 19 chapters ...

Before I say much here, you must know that the manga is finished. Not because the story is finished - I rather have the impression that just the introduction is through - but simply because it was not continued after this introduction.
Admittedly, there is still a finale that concludes a story - but it initiates a much larger story at the same time and accordingly it's just an open ending. I don't like that. Even though the ... light novel the manga is based on seems to go on, but I don't want to rate the work in relation to another.

In fact, I think that's a downright bummer, because while the story may initially sound like the generic "weakest shows in the world he's strong" story, it quickly becomes clear here that it's deeper and more complicated. This seems to be about true friendship, love, and ideals - nothing much more unusual than "weakest shows in the world he's strong", but could have been better and more exceptional.

Accordingly, I can't recommend this manga, even though I quite liked it overall.
