      Why take a risk on “Murder mystery”, when, “I got isekai’d with a bad ability but it turns out its OP AF and also I got a harem because idk lol” is guaranteed to at least make back what was put into it?

      Anime studios aren’t so different then Hollywood ones. They’re risk averse. I don’t like that shows Tatami Galaxy or Ping Pong aren’t more regular occurences, but I get it.

          Common points and formulaic are different beasts. Fist of the North Star, Demon Slayer, Kinnikuman, and Naruto are all shounen but nobody is getting them confused.

    Ah, Prince Duke. I had to do a triple take when I first read it. The first if had my reading glasses on; the second if I read it correctly; the third was me facepalming.

    Regardless of the names, as a connoisseur of otome isekai I am pretty much excited about this.
