Bateribaisu – Ningen Denchi to Suna no Kyozou

A manga about a world were humans can use weapons powered by their own electric power. Rebel forces fight against nobles who imprison them and treat them as human cattle.

We’ve discussed this on a recent episode.

This is a decent sci-fi series. The art work is handled by K Akagishi who also does Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi, which I love. Akagishi’s characters have a very angular look to them that reminds me of Yowamushi Pedal‘s Wataru Watanabe. There’s some great looking action set pieces that make great use of his kinetic art style. I really liked all overall designs that help sell this kinda mediocre story about 2 rebels who are actually spies for the nobles. When the spies are outed they are also cast out from nobility and left for dead but one of them is able to power a colossal robot and fight back.

I’m interested in reading more because I just enjoy K Akagishi‘s work so much.

Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi

Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi

A manga about a man who is accidentally summoned into a fantasy realm. He decides to use his special skills of a dimensional shopping to access food items from his home world to make a living cooking. Unfortunately that cooking attracts the legendary beast Fenrir who demands they form a pact that will involving getting 3 meals a day from the man.

This might be an isekai story but it focuses on food so I checked it out and I’m really glad that I did! I really like the mix of modern food in fantasy worlds. It’s also down well in Isekai Izakaya: Japanese Food From Another World.

There’s a lot of typical isekai troupes here, such as the man’s net supermarket ability allowing him to purchase salt and pepper cheaply and then selling that at a high price in this fantasy world. Also, like a lot of isekai stories the main character has to be very cautious about revealing his powers in fear of them being taken advantage. However they subvert many of those overpowered skills by sharing that advantage with his Fenrir partner. Instead of having a single overpowered protagonist, the fighting is handled by the beast and the human focuses on making delicious meals. That dynamic between these two were really enjoyable and I like their relationship a lot.

I look forward to keep checking this series out.
