Always appreciate when when a news story leads me to an interesting LN, also glad that female lead stories are getting more and more popular.

This is a pleasant surprise. I found the first three volumes fairly relaxing reads. Also enjoyed how the author resolved the conflict between Sei and Aira.

I’m not familiar with the source material but I’m glad to see between this and Bookworm and Bakarina that we’re getting more female led isekai shows lately.

Spreadsheet updated. If I recall correctly, this isn't the only popular Narou story to have the premise of "The fantasy world has summoned a hero! ...And also me. I was just dragged along as an extra, so I can do whatever I want here."

Actually, it's not a reverse harem. There's a clear singular love interest and no real rivals.

I'm happy this is getting an anime as i love this novel. It plays the standard shoujo tropes in a refreshing and simplistic way contrary to the usual cliches. It helps that the protagonist is a working adult who, while prone to a little fangirl'ing about ikemen, is well grounded and definitely not a damsel type.

It's a novel i would even recommend to other guys, despite the standard shoujo style at first glance. It's similar in vein to The Tales of Marielle Clarac series, taking the standard tropes and playing with them in a way to can appeal to all.
