In this charming tale, a woman gets transported to a fantasy world and pursues her own quest: opening a book cafe!
Tsukina is a single, thirty-something office worker whose favorite thing is curling up with a good book. When a god tells her that she must go to another world to become its magical savior, Tsukina isn’t interested. She has zero desire to go on some grand hero’s journey. So when she arrives in this strange new land, she decides to use her magical powers to create a cozy little book café instead. Her first customer is a handsome soldier who loves reading almost as much as she does. But when a fellow “savior” starts causing trouble, Tsukina might have to play the hero after all!

Right off the bat when I read the summary I knew I needed to read this manga…and it did not disappoint. I’m already in love, and invested, with this story and cannot wait for more volumes to drop!
We meet Tsukina a thirty-three-year-old bookworm who’s just living her life. Out of nowhere a blob, claiming to be a god, says “hey you’re a savior and I’m sending you to another world” to which she’s like “Um, maybe if you’d approached me in my early 20s but not now, I’m comfortable with my life and that seems like a young person adventure,” which completely shocks said god. She’s assured she’ll be going regardless but since he recruits a lot she probably won’t be the only savior in the realm so she could just kick back if she wanted to.
Realizing she’s going whether she wants to or not she negotiates herself a great deal which lands her in a well-protected kingdom overseeing her dream…owning a book cafe. Never have I related so fast to a manga. I mean imagine finding out you have to go but you’ll be given magic and you can just do your own thing since multiple saviors have been selected. Sounds like a dream!
Sadly only volume one has been translated and released here in the states but luckily we only have a couple months to wait for volume two! I cannot wait to see Tsukina’s journey unfold!

That makes perfect sense, especially since they’re on the shorter length when it comes to manga ^^

Thanks. 😋
It kind of sucks that they’re shorter, though, at least when the volumes are longer it doesn’t feel like you go through them so quickly.

I feel like most of the manga/manhwa I’ve been finding and loving are all 230 pages or less 😭I need to find similar stories that are a little chonky lol

Check out ‘Skip Beat!’ if you get a chance.. it’s surprisingly hilarious and a bit longer.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. However just imagine if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could definitely be one of the greatest in its field. Superb blog!
