The whole thing starts off as a fish out of water story built around a huge misunderstanding. The premise is dropped pretty quickly to turn it into a rescue mission, and giving us an excuse to explore the underground instead. This arc is basically 80% of the manga. My real complaint is the confusing ending that leaves everyone in the group split up and just wandering around aimlessly. The stalker plot thread is "solved" by having him be acknowledged, and then he just... disappears. Like, he's deliberately abandoned underground and it's just assumed he'd find a way back. The friend MC has that mayor may not have romantic feelings for him literally wanders the planet with the other residents of the underground, and MC himself shows up again in the last three pages in a sort of "Yup, this was a fakeout", after a confusing ass pull regarding the king.

An otherwise fun, explosive manga just ends in a confused whimper. I notice some manga have this weird tendency to split up all the characters we love, and the trend continues here. I do not approve.
