Six volumes is exactly the right length for this story — long enough to earn the romance, short enough that the central mystery never overstays its welcome.
Yuya's payback against the people who wronged him is the real draw here, and the manga knows it — the other-world training arc is just the setup for the satisfying part.
Seiya's paranoia stops being an obstacle to his strength and starts being the joke itself, and once you accept that's the whole show, it's a quick, entertaining read.
The fish-out-of-water joke never really escalates past 'demon lord worries about his part-time shift schedule' — and that's fine, because the joke was always going to be the whole show.
One of the gentlest, saddest, and most purely well-drawn fantasy manga running right now.
