Title: The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious Manga Other Titles: Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru Author: Tsuchihi Light, Koyuki
Main Character: Seiya Ryuuguuin Gender: Male Cheat: Ideal Hero Candidate... but also he's mostly so over cautious as to train ridiculously Transport: Summon (Divine)
Summary: It is the duty of gods to ultimately protect the many different worlds in existence... and typical that they would come under threat by demon lords. Fledgling Goddess Rista has the unenviable assignment of saving an S-Class Danger world... but strikes it lucky when she finds a human with all the stats that say he could be truly great! What she's not expecting: for her chosen hero to be so cautious that she's not sure their great adventure will ever get started.
Pros: Jackass With a Heart of Gold, Good Humor Dynamic, Fun Trope Toying
"I'm out of MP." "Then use an Ether!" "But you can't buy Ether." "It's the final battle!" "I only have 85 of them-"
Jokes that are also true aside, this series so far has proven to be greatly hilarious as it validates hundreds of gamers everywhere for their item hoarding and level overpowering ways. The biggest help to the humor of the series is the dynamic between the duo of the series, the stars of the show.
On one hand, you have the overly cautious hero who demands one thousand vials of holy water and thinks even passing villagers could be potential monsters. On the other hand, you have the intense reactions of his goddess companion dealing with an absolute ass of a weirdo who always throws her off balance from what should be the "typical" hero's journey. The especially great thing is that, while the MC, our hero, is doing all the hilariously over-cautious things like nuking a slime from orbit, the goddess companion has such intense reactions that they're almost more hilarious than the MC himself. While the goddess has some sizable breasts, half the time I forgot about her design because the intense expressions of disbelief or anger or stubbornness caught all my attention.
Yet the MC is also more than meets the eye as well. His super cautious antics are hilarious, of course. They're the whole theme of the manga (plus the anime based off of it, and the light novel that inspired it). Yet now and then, we get deeper hints beyond his blunt caution and distrust of everything around him. His caution is shown to be sensible in some cases, the perfect fit for a world of such danger, and we get to see just how much he considers his place in things. After all, is his caution really so misplaced when his life is the one that could change the fate of this world?
So in both humorous ways and more serious ways, this manga plays with all sorts of the typical fantasy tropes where a hero would go off to defeat a demon lord for the fate of the world.
Cons: Short
This manga is currently beneath seven chapters so, without looking at the original light novel or the upcoming anime, I can't get a good read on it yet on how it might go or what twists might exist.
General Warnings: None too serious spring to mind
Slavery: Yes Fanservice: 3 - Boy do some ladies sure have sizable cleavage, most notably the goddess companion Harem: No
