Publisher Description
Shiori is an average Japanese office worker who was suddenly teleported to another world. Four years later, she’s managed to carve out a niche for herself—as a housekeeping mage.
Alec is an A-class adventurer, just returned from a long-term assignment. When his friend Zack, the local Guild Master, tempts him into going on a manticore hunt by promising to bring in a mage with special skills, what Alec finds is the last thing he could have expected.
On the outside, the two couldn’t be more different. Yet deep in their hearts, they each yearn for the same thing: a place to belong. In the face of old wounds, their dark pasts, and the everyday challenges any adventurer must overcome, will they find the courage to risk being hurt again?
Customer Reviews
Human characters and human emotions, and a healthy dash of trauma therapy
4 volumes in and coming back for a spoiler-free “series so far” review: I am in love with this series, and specifically with these characters. All of them, the main characters, the major and minor side characters, even the villains, all feel like real people. You empathize with their hurts because they are very human hurts, and you revile the villains because their villainy is also so very human. Does not hold back with the Emotional Damage, and the author does an extremely good job of portraying how their various traumas affect their lives and the relationships in them, but so far everything overall has had a positive cathartic bent, and I am legitimately on the edge of my seat to see how the story will play out.
