  Rather typical of the shounen harem genre. Lloyd is a clueless guy with a heart of gold, and the ladies he comes into contact with him are extraordinarily pushy when it comes to him. This is mostly set up of the world and the major relationships. I'm not sure I'm interested enough to grab the second volume at this point.

  I’m such a sucker for manga series with long titles like this.
  
  This didn’t disappoint at all! It was funny because of the crazy misunderstandings that everyone goes through.
  
  The main character, Lloyd, comes from a town where all the OP heroes live. That being said, he has some major problems of what “normal” is. He thinks that dungeon monsters are just your normal every day monster. He was SUCH a cinnamon roll! He was also the source of a lot of misunderstandings and rumors.
  
  I love the art and story is super charming. Cannot wait until I can get my hands on the next volume!

  Easily as enjoyable as the original novel, maybe even a bit more so because some of the heavier-handed narration is left out.

  Eigentlich klang der Manga vielversprechend, Fantasy und Comedy, was will man mehr. Nachdem dann aber mal wieder völlig sinnlos, sich eines der Weiber bis auf die Unterwäsche ausziehen musste und dann gefühlt alle Mädels einen solchen "OMG BEMERK MICH ICH LIEBE DICH LLOYD" Yandere-Bullshit abgeben, fliegt der dann leider doch aus meiner Leseliste :)

  Yes, there is fan service and the joke on how he is over-powered, but doesn't realize it can get old, but I still laughed. The artwork is super cute and I'm interested in seeing where this goes.

  Lloyd has grown up in Kunlun believing he is less than average and not really soldier material, even though that is his dearest dream. He's decided to set out for the big city, with the blessing of Kunlun's magical overseer, to see if he can pass the exams to join the army. His benefactress has blackmailed the Witch of the East into hosting him, and through her eyes, readers quickly realize that Lloyd's ideas of his own skills may have been grossly skewed by the extreme place he grew up. But will the army examiners realize in time the jewel they have attempting to enter?
  
  I would have rated this 5 stars if it weren't for the female characters all making suggestive comments about Lloyd and/or being illustrated in such skimpy attire. I really wish they had cut that out. It didn't add anything to the story, and it really cuts down the audience this is appropriate for. The 4 stars are all for Lloyd and how much he thinks he's a loser only good at cooking and cleaning, when he has these astounding skills he takes for granted because he grew up in this village where fighting extreme monsters was daily life and amazing magical skills were considered average. He has no clue how astounding he is, and he leaves this trail of people with their jaws on the floor after he casually does this or that, and he remains completely oblivious to both his skills and the stir he causes. It is hilarious. I'd love to see a kids' adaptation of this that would cut out some of the more mature content.
  
  Notes on content: About 10-12 minor swears. Several female characters make comments about wanting to sleep with Lloyd or otherwise suggestive things. There's also a series of illustrations of a female character in skimpy, busty underwear. Fighting monsters is mentioned, and depicted in side bubbles signifying memories/imaginings. Only minimally bloody.

  While seemingly a basic and unoriginal Isekai title, "Kid from the Last Dungeon" shows that simplicity and not taking itself too seriously can do wonders for stories that follow similar patterns to hundreds of others.
  
  The manga itself is based on a light novel by Toshio Satou. To help, Hajime Fusemachi and Nao Watanuki are also recruited. The art is fine, but it's elevated by Watanuki's character designs. While the cast is filled with characters that have usual characteristics, each one is designed with small details in mind, that set them apart and give them a vibrant and fresh look. An example of these would be Lloyd's hair cut or Riho's metallic arm. Unfortunately, besides the characters, the world itself falls apart when it comes to originality. Granted, making a wholly original medieval fantasy setting is going to be a hard task, which is why the decision to not develop it as much is understandable.
  
  The plot is very simple and predictable. The characters are limited psychologically and they're mostly defined by one trait. However, it's such an enjoyable story to read. What it does amazingly, is that it has the ability to understand it's not the only fish in the pond. It doesn't take itself seriously and doesn't spend too much time on exposition. The plot is clear and flows like a breeze. It's filled with great humor as well. Not only do these things make for an easy read, but they also enhance the overall reading experience. It's basic, but it plays with its strengths very well.
  
  Overall, a very great introductory volume. If this series continues to capitalize on its strengths, it can become a standout title in its respective category. I am eager to see what else the authors are able to bring to the table with this one.

  This was an absolute delight to read! All of the characters are amusing and have their own (serious) personality quirks, the artwork/ art style is fun and expressive, and I LOVE the story! The idea of a town of former adventures existing and there being descendants of said adventures already puts this series ahead of others. And Lloyd is such a precious little cinnamon roll, I love him so much! #mustprotect.
  
  Something else that I appreciate is that aside from Lloyd, Satou isn't trying to make everybody look heroic or admirable, rather letting their ambitions shine and showing how awful/ dysfunctional they are. It's refreshing to see characters just be themselves rather than having them seem awful just they can be "redeemed" later.
  
  This was a lot of fun and I have high hopes for the rest of the series! Looking forward to more!

  I watched the first episode of the anime and then decided to pick up the manga as well . This is one of the times I have decided that I need to watch them concurrently, it's much easier to sit and wait for episodes when you also have a book to read that fleshes out things that the anime glazes over or straight up leaves out. I'm a huge fan of the humor and it was just a fun light hearted read.

  A good example of why scale matters in measurements.

  Leans very hard into its premise for the lolz which would be fine if there seemed to be any other source of laughs beyond how oblivious this kid is.
