Preliminary (45/? chp)
This manga focuses on the protagonist Lily a Japanese girl who is reincarnated in a fantasy kingdom, where she becomes the royal maid, adept at information gathering, problem solving, and caring for others. The story starts when she is recruited to be the mother of the royal magician's new powerful ward.
This is an ongoing manga, so my opinion might change. Also, I am a big fan of isekai, so that definitely skews my point of view. That said, I am finding this very enjoyable to read so far. The art is average, and maybe a little old fashioned even, but nothing horrible. The story isn't airtight, there are some plot holes and a lot of suspension of disbelief, but considering the genre and the fact that it is incomplete, I think that's fine. I do enjoy the world building, the system of magic, and the characters. The magic system is an elemental system, with spirits possessing elemental powers and sharing them with magicians in the form of magical contracts. The character aren't super complex, but they are likeable and fun to root for. The little girl, Jill, is very cute. Lily could use a little more depth, being the almost too perfect type of protagonist, but that is fun to indulge in sometimes, and could improve in the future.
Personally, I like the kind of 'love will save the day' plot, especially when other kinds of love besides romantic are acknowledged, in this case, there is a big focus on familial love, even if the characters aren't blood related. One thing I don't love is the protagonist's relationship with her past love interest, although that might be a translation issue, I can't tell.
