My thoughts for this manga can be summed up with one phrase: “I have absolutely no idea what’s going on, but I love it.”

Partly due to the inconsistent translation releases and partly due to a rather “jumpy” plot — multiple perspective switches and a lot of information/characters being introduced to be ed at once — it’s hard to what’s going on at times. However, even with a sense of loss, all things revert back to fun; this manga is simply fun — from the silly humor or characters in a rather dark environment.

With the gender-bent premise and the more serious tone of the story ... with war, death, etc., this manga should not work as good as it does, but it simply does. There’s enough comedy here and there to lighten the mood, but the story is kept afloat by small instances of seriousness.

Though this manga suffers greatly from a clear and focused plot, the characters and humor juxtaposed with a grim world makes this manga worth the read.

You would have guessed the basic premise from the title alone as this is the storyline of a reincarnation to a knight in a world where women are the law, where everything which was considered male oriented is being done by a women and males are treated as objects to satiate the lust. An isekai, not that the tag brings about any possible change in the story.

You would think what earth-shattering premise is this, but let me tell you this that the author takes this weird prologue into something to ... look forward to. Hilarious jokes with actually decent plotline with satiable amount of development. While I still think the main story is bit of a secondary focus for the manga, it is still pushing the plot forward in an agreeable way. The only negative I would say are the translations but that in and of itself is not a thing the original work should be condemned for.

Characters may not be that godly, but characters designs? Absolutely top tier. Every female looks like a possible waifu contender in her own way. The reason I said the characters are not godly, because they have not got the kind of development needed to call them a good character. They are still getting carried by their archetypes which is perfectly fine considering I am basing all of this from mere 8 chapters.

The overall quality of the art is very good. The only minor thing to point out is that sometimes certain things (here boobs) magically change their sizes jumping from to .

All in all, a comedy manga which actually uses its erotica genre in a comedic way.

TLDR; This is so bad it hurts. Apparently that's the first work from the author (and the artist), and it REALLY shows. I'm really disappointed since the artist did manage to do make a good first impression, with the impressive cover and couple first chapters, but I felt it wen't downhill not long after.

A female knight in an elegant shining armor, beautiful colors, illuminated by the bright blue sky. If the cover is that good, surely the manga will be as well, right? Wrong. At the time I'm writing this, there's only a couple of chapters released, at a extremely slow pace, but this would ... be fine if the quality was worth the wait. It's not.

The setting is about an isekai'd virgin Guts arriving at fantasy world where matriarchy is the norm, all nobles and knights are female and all the males are either servants or slaves (not sure if they mean a different thing in this setting), all really feminized. The only manly man is the protagonist, which so happens to be noble. This is supposed to mean he is ugly in this setting, but (not surprisingly) all the hot females he meets actually want to bang him (and most or all of them are virgins as well, so convenient). This setting of course is a gimmick, but it could be very interesting, if approached well.

With that said, there are a lot of problems with this title:
- What's this supposed to be about? Is it about a horny virgin Guts getting a harem of noble women? Is it about war, royal responsibilities and what not? The genre is all over the place. It's impossible to write a good story wanting to do everything at the same time, this is an example of someone trying to.
- Outside the cover and the first few chapters, the drawing becomes really rough, really fast. The cutesy lines become much rougher, almost abstract. Sure, this could be ed as an artistic choice, but it just feels sloppy to me.
- It's barely readable. The artist likes to use a different set of speech bubbles and most of the time the bubbles don't point to whoever is supposed to be talking. Because of that, frequently you can't be sure whether the one talking or thinking is the one shown in the or the one who is talking to the one you're looking at. For some reason he seems to dislike using a narrator to explain better what's happening as well.
- The s change perspective out of nowhere: On one , the fight just finished, the other they're already in pursuit of the remaining force who got separated, with no way to tell the scene is different. On one , we're looking from the protagonist point of view , the next, we see an arbalest aiming at someone. At who? From where? Is it enemy or ally? We can go back to previous s to figure out what exactly happened, but the fact that we need to go back shows how bad the structure is. It could easily be improved by adding a few more s for context between the transitions or even some speech bubbles for what the characters are thinking (or noticing, like this damn stealthy arbalest). I don't know how the artist is choosing what to do in an entire chapter, but it is like he is trying to keep the same speed the light novel has, and it doesn't translate well to the manga format.
- Finally, about the plot: Who is that supposed to appeal to? I'm used to reading both horny garbage and gore-filled action fantasy, in fact most trashy garbage are about defeating monsters in a fantasy setting. The problem with this one is that instead of Guts killing super powerful monstrosities, we get Guts killing cute female knights. Wtf? And I'm used to war settings full of gore, but that still does not sit well with me. Why would I want to see dozens of girls getting sliced like nothing? What's the point in recruiting a militia if the protagonist will just kill all of them by himself anyway (so the girls in his side all get to live)? Why was he even considering retreating if he's so OP?

In conclusion, I went in with a lot of expectations for good stuff, but left really disappointed. While the gimmick is interesting, it didn't do a good job in neither the horny garbage or the more serious "war and everything related" genres. I don't know what is happening with this title, why it is so slow, why the quality seem to have dropped, but as of now, I don't really recommend this to anyone.
