Kenja No Mago is for two types of people. Rabid fans of the isekai genre, or people who haven't been introduced to the isekai genre. Why? Because Kenja No Mago is the definition of mediocre. It's both what isekai fans want, and what new readers to isekai should, on average, expect.
The story is utterly average. Self insert protagonist is reborn into another world and ridiculously overpowered. Which isn't a bad thing, it's just unoriginal. The protagonist is liked by everyone and talented since birth, has a lovely love interest, good friends, and evil enemy. There is literally not one ounce of originality in the

Kenja no Mago? I thought it was really interesting at first, reading the synopsis, unfortunately nothing "new" or original, nonetheless enjoyable.
Let's jump straight into the review and find out why. Story (6) As the synopsis say: Shin our main protagonist had a boring life, that's until an accident happened and he died. Reborn in an alterative universe, as a child he was casually saved from a hero. That hero will teach him magic and his other friends will teach him the art of the sword, meanwhile he has the knowledge of his past life and has an incredible magic power. You guessed right, he's OP af. He was ...

Welcome to the second decade of 21st century where every other series somehow has an MC who gets teleported to another world where is he/she is either reborn or swap bodies. The land where he/she is now is full of magic. There is mana, there are elves, dwarves, shamans, lizardmen, goblins, spirits, faeries, insert-any-Tolkein-fiction-character or trope etc. Our MC somehow retains memories of his/her past life but doesn't really cares because he/she was either a loser/hikikomori or a wage slave and is now really excited with the prospect to explore this brave new world. He/she is open to challenges that this new world awaits but

In short: it's WORTH A READ. Admittedly it has a simple, unoriginal plot, but the characters and their interactions make it enjoyable to read.
There isn't much to expect story wise: Our MC is reincarnated and adopted by a renowned magician. Our MC grows to become insanely powerful, but he has no common sense. The art can really make you feel what the characters are feeling, and it conveys the power of casted spells very well. Most of the characters have distinct personalities that make the story that much more enjoyable to read. The banter between them is funny because it cuts tension and brightens the mood, which prevents ...

There isn't much to say about Kenja no Mago, so I'll get straight to the point: if you're tired of the reincarnated OP MC stories, ignore this Manga.
The story, the lore, the setting and the characters are all by-the-numbers cutouts and, in terms of originality or uniqueness, the Manga doesn't have anything going for it. Comedy is slightly off, although I did chuckle a few times (mainly due to the exaggerated faces), but other than that it isn't that funny. Art is quite good and detailed for the most part, and action scenes are portrayed as well as in any other action manga. ...

The recipe is easy and efficient, just put a ridiculously over powered character in a fantasy world with monsters. Well that sound déjà vu. But this one is clever enought to make it well. By that, I mean the universe is kinda mature. The MC can't use his powers all the time to not break the balance between the countries, he may be invincible but he has weaknesses. This is not just a "school boy", he evoles during the story, will eventually have a wife, found a family. The bad points I would put on the series is that beside the MC, his best friend

For some reason, i dont dislike the isekai genre even after all those years of overuse. Thus I gave kenja no mago it's chance to shine on my manga list and... Well you see the ranking I gave it.
Let's not lose our time, reading the summary is enough to convince oneself that this manga is generic. Once again we've got the loner loser boy. Then he saves someone from an accident and then dies (well I guess it's what happened cuz everything was so fast and poorly explained...) Like Mushoku and The beginning after the end (two excellent mangas/manhuas I highly recommend plus they're both highly ... |
