Tsuguto Sumihara is way too nice...or rather, was too nice. He lost his life in a bus accident after being bullied into giving up his seat, and somehow was reincarnated into a mining camp! Not only that, the mine is at the base of an impossibly tall tower. It's there he meets the ram--horned Loulier, his first friend in this bizarre land. But when she's bullied, Tsuguto finds that maybe he wasn't reincarnated without powers after all...and that, if he's to have a future in this strange new land, Loulier's just the partner he needs.

Read the full take

Tsuguto Sumihara is way too nice, or rather, he was. He lost his life in a bus accident after being bullied into giving up his seat, and somehow he was reincarnated into a mini creature. The premise is a whimsical fantasy about kindness rewarded in unexpected ways, with a quirky twist on the reincarnation genre.The strength is the warmth. Tsuguto is a gentle lead, and his kindness shapes the story's tone. The offbeat set-up, including the shovel and the girl, gives the comedy a playful edge.The weaknesses are about structure. The plot is light, and the episodes can feel loose. Some jokes repeat across the run, and readers wanting a driving plot may find it slight.Recommended for readers who enjoy kind, quirky fantasies. Expect a cheerful, gentle read that is best enjoyed at its own pace.
