The driving force behind this story is comedy and erotica. It does well in both departments so far.
The story itself is comprised of a series of short events that occur for this small band of adventurers.

Characters
We have a priest(Roni) that seems to be rather well built and has a healthy sexual appetite.
A summoner(Amona) who is a demihuman that gets into a relationship right away with Roni
An elven archer whose name is currently unknown.
A ditzy warrior whose name is currently unknown.

Considering it's only the first chapter I would say it has promise to be an amusing journey with this group so I'd keep an eye ... on it.

6.7/10


Promising at first, the manga quickly devolved into a one-dimensional “parody” story with how much sex-related humor it introduced. Let’s be clear: The jokes are actually somewhat funny, however, they get rather tiring when there is zero changes in the humor nor plot.

Similar to a webcomic, the manga employs the strategy of “rely on a premise until the readers get tired of it, which is hopefully never.” The author has shown absolutely zero signs of introducing an actual plot and progression in the characters besides for the quick and occasional “I don’t actually love him, do I,” moment. With the lack of progression in ... the characters, the characters serve one purpose: to be a source of comedy whenever needed.

The manga is pretty stupid, but it’s somewhat an enjoyable stupid, if you get what I mean. There’s a lot of sexually-oriented humor, which is actually funny, but the lack of progression and diversity in the humor makes the manga peak in the first chapter, going downhill from there.
