Goodreads Synopsis:
Mika Kamiya was a
completely average girl on her way back home from Japan's biggest
amateur comics and book-selling event, Comic Market...until she got
whisked off to a parallel fantasy world! To get back home, Mika is going
to have to look for transportation magic at the magic tome-selling
event, Magic Market!
Review:
This is about a girl protagonist who has been transported to another
world. Mika is from modern day Tokyo, only she's been
transported to a DnD-type world, where everyone knows at least some
type of magic. In her efforts to find a way back home, and since she
was on her way to Comiket when she was transported, she starts up the
Magic Market and her very own printing press. It's quite innovative
for a girl on her own in a new world.
I didn't really get much of a feel for the actual characters. Mika is
okay, a little odd and rather normal. She is pretty smart, quick on
her feet, and optimistic. She has the witch Claire at her side all
the time, who seems to just follow along to humor what Mika is doing,
in a nice way. We meet a handful of other characters. Broadway, the
knight who guards Mika and seems to admire her, was sweet. There's a
tiny bit of fanservice, but mostly this was a safe, more pg volume.
I'm not a big high fantasy reader, and this was a little slow and
word-heavy, but it was kind of fun and very pretty. It's an
interesting mix of DnD, isekai, and comic convention that I
definitely don't mind.
