I've always been a fan of the Isekai genre. From classic Shounen action/adventure to blood soaked Dark Fantasy to gooey Shoujo adorableness to generic harem comedies that seem more like a checklist of tropes than a proper narrative, I love them all. This Mage Desires Mediocrity hits a lovely sweet spot between Shounen action and harem comedy with a Shoujo slant. This is a feel good manga, it's a rare instance of a female fantasy wish fulfillment manga. Mizuki does what she wants and she always wins and she gets all the guys and everyone is her friend unless they're a bad guy. It's not complex. There's no moral dilemmas to deal with. It's simple and easy and it puts a smile on my face.
