The Failure at God School · review

★
Top reader Apr 2, 2025 · 2 min read
7 /10

Here we find the same author as the acclaimed The Apothecary Diaries, Natsu Hyuuga. However, The Failure at God School has a much more ‘young audience’ feel than The Apothecary Diaries. With 10 volumes already published in Japan, this promises to be a long series. There's a modernisation of Japanese folklore and traditions. However, I found that the concept of deities/apprentice kami was still a little too light for my taste (I hope it will be more than an excuse to have a superpower school ), to be seen in the sequel. It's a bit lacking in rites, ceremonies and traditions. As for the characters, Nagi is ayoung girl who can't find her powers. This is interesting, as she is nonetheless full of willpower and seeks to surpass herself in other ways.
Her brother is a sort of mascot. It's cute and funny, but at the same time it's touching because of the reason why he's a plush.
And we can't overlook the mysterious, handsome young man with long hair, the kami Tsukuyomi, who bears a striking resemblance to Jinshi's style in The Apothecary Diaries.

To conclude, the trials are reminiscent of a shōnen classic, adding a touch of action, and the mysteries scattered throughout make for enjoyable reading.
