I read the first chapters of the manga here and then went looking for the novel. The novel is one of the best out there. It falls into the reincarnation to younger self category but it goes way beyond that. The romance is stunning, the sex scenes are vivid (but good), the drama is appropriate and it doesn't torture the reader with too much suspense. I look forward to the manga, but it has a lot to live up to.
So obviously, this got an anime. The show is like chapter for chapter with the source material and has that fantastic starting from the bottom vibe. I will admit, the novel loses sight of that in the middle. There are chapters where you think that author totally forgot where the plot was going for a hot second. HOWEVER, Despite a few iffy story arcs, there are so many that will knock your socks off. Especially the newest side stories, they may be my favorite arcs yet!!
The manga here is no more than a tease! The novel goes into so much more detail and the plot is amazing.
AND IT GOT PICKED UP AGAIN SO THERE WILL BE MOOOORE
The novel doesn't update often, but when it does the world is a good place. The manga isn't that far behind, and both are worth reading.
This novel is in the middle of a retranslation. I think the author decided to edit the series as a whole and rerelease it so it has 160+ new chapters that have been released with more on the way, plus you can read the original if you want I guess.
Sooo good
For this one too, the manga is only a few steps ahead but it does go into a little more detail about everything.
Get yourself some food before reading this, seriously. The novel is way beyond the manga and it only show how much better this story can get. So many more adventures to read about!
