I Refuse to Be Your Enemy!'s first volume is one of those books that gets better as you go on. By the midway point of chapter two it's become genuinely good, but getting to that point can take a little willpower. It's an enjoyable take on the reborn-in-a-game variant of the isekai genre, however, and the world presented is certainly an interesting one that stands to develop well. All in all it's a good book, and it looks like it may only get better from here.

If you have access to them and don't mind reading, the novel series adds a lot to the anime. A lot of detail, including the basis for the magic is omitted from the anime. It makes the magic seem real, if only one had the talent for it.

Kageki Shoujo!! The Curtain Rises is a real treat: a drama that consistently resists the urge to indulge in histrionics, a shoujo-style manga that draws from tradition while remaining fresh and modern, a tale set in a harsh world without reveling in that harshness. I hope this release is successful, and that it may pave the way for the sequel to be released.
