Damn, didn't expect it to get so dark in the first chapter already.
But I love it.
Also, finally an isekai where the protagonist isn't overpowered. She doesn't even have powers, as she refused it when the goddess of this world offered it to her. An anti-hero reincarnated into a fantasy/DnD world, who made it her job to protect the weak, together with a giant, who's been an outsider in her clan.
Love the disability rep. Hinako, the protagonist, has only one arm, but it's not much of a disability for her. Alice, the giant, could have dwarfism. But while they're seen as weak in their "clans", they're much more powerful than you think and together they form an unstoppable team.
A lot of background characters also have disabilities (amputations mostly), but it's not highlighted as special. It's simply there. A more realistic portrayal of the real world than slice of life Mangas that play in our world.
The art is amazing. I especially love the way shadows or dark powers/magic are drawn. Horror but aesthetically. Psycho/Yandere vibes.
The bonus chapter at the end surely twisted things around a bit... I wonder where the author will take it.
Gotta love the trope lovers to enemies though. Will they become lovers again or revenge each other, again and again? Only way to find out.
