In a world where people are constantly power-scaling some of their favorite characters to see who would win in a fight, the reality is that all of us would be incredibly scared if we came across a seemingly normal human being with an overwhelming amount of power. Imagine having so much power that you define logic and reason, where your very strength can generate miracles. That is the main source of comedy in the series The Godless World of Onee-Chan. It takes a little bit to get going, but what we're eventually left with is something that has a lot of comedic and narrative potential. Basically, what would happen if Saitama from One-Punch Man willingly killed himself to get isekai-ed to another world?

The setup is incredibly messy. The main driving force behind our titular Onee Chan character is that she is looking for her brother, whom she wants to marry, and goes to another world on the word of people who just want to see her dead. It's funny that everything works out the way it does, but I think that's the point. This woman's existence defies all logic, and seeing everybody else's reaction to that is where the comedy comes from. It helps a lot that the facial expressions and cuts to everyone's reactions are pretty spot on. The way the muscle and shading details are done also gives the book a rather unique feel when it comes to the characters, even though the more fantasy elements feel very generic.

It also helps that this book has breakneck pacing. I was able to breeze through this book probably faster than most others on this guide, and that's probably a contributing factor to why I wasn't bored. I like the way the characters interact with each other, and by the end of the first volume, I was surprised by the genuine sense of heart. Overall, a pleasant surprise and a solid comedic series that I could recommend.
