The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter, Volume 3: 06/11/24

The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter, Volume 3

The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter Volume 3 by Kazuki Irodori et al (2022) ultimately is the start of the journey to deal with the miasma. Kondou, though he has no resistance to magicules, is being forced to go along on the quest. Clearly someone wants him dead.

I wish the book was just the miasma quest. Unfortunately the first half of the book has Kondou being beat up and therefore needing lots and lots of extra treatments. I am at the point that I'd like to see some relational reasons for Kondou and Aresh getting together.

The miasma plot though makes up for the ridiculous situational stuff. Kondou as an outsider with lots of allergies spends his time en route to understand how the miasma works and possibly ways to control it that don't involve sacred magic.

Five stars
