The adventures of Sword Dad are great.

Ah, one of my absolute favorite of the modern isekai crop, mainly due to adorable murderhobo catgirl Fran being the true protagonist of the story despite Teacher being the viewpoint character.

This one is actually good and not your shitty harem tripe. Hope it can get an anime someday.

This actually started being serialised on the web before the vending machine one that I know if, although the first novels for both came out the same day.

As an aside, all three of Tanaka's Syosetu novels have been picked up by publishers and, last I checked, two also had manga adaptations.

Fran is multiple degrees of walking cliché


The part in the synopsis about her being an enslaved catgirl kinda gave that away already.

I can't see myself reading this, but it does make Shield Hero feel like a missed opportunity. (Or more of one, I guess.) Might have been more interesting if sword-man didn't have telekinesis (but still had telepathy or some way to communicate); being able to move and kill bad guys on his own somewhat defeats the purpose of "I was reincarnated as an inanimate object."

A fair review; i actually found that part in the beginning, where the sword is just wandering around and leveling up, to be excruciatingly boring. I'll probably buy the next few volumes to see where it goes, and hopefully the writing and pacing improves.

The manga for this is licensed as well, and i encourage anyone interested in this story, or anyone who's read this volume, to check it out when it's released. from what I've read, I actually enjoy the manga of this story. The pacing is improved, and the action is excellent.
