I left home with only a backpack and half a steamed bun.
But the people I picked up along the way were one stranger than the next:
a runaway bride from a wealthy family, a three-thousand-year-old girl, a walking loudspeaker, a chef who looks like a gangster…
Six people travel from a small village to the ends of the world.
Then they discover that there are maps beyond the map.
Also:
[Not an overpowered hero story. No abusing the protagonist. No harem.] The protagonist won’t be beaten half to death before suddenly unleashing hidden power, and he won’t collect every woman he meets.
This isn’t a story about one person crushing everything in sight. The heart of this book is six people stumbling along together and having one another’s backs.
It’s not all grim suffering, and it won’t deliberately toy with your emotions. There’s very little angst.
There’s plenty of everyday life: teamwork, bickering, cooking, getting lost, enjoying the scenery together, and saving the world along the way.
Friends are friends. More than friends, less than lovers… anyway, there are more important things to do.
