Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon: Kossori Kitaete Sekai Saikyou

Started reading this manga because of the anime adaptation news and decent comments of people who've already read the thing.

For me, this manga was a disappointment. Maybe if I was 13-16 yo, I'd like it more, and let me explain why.

1) It's heavily ecchi-oriented. It's made of harem clichés. So if you're into just that part, maybe you'll love reading this one. It might not seem like it first, but the MC is your standard "why all these girls want to duck me, I'm just gonna do my thing" harem sissy boy. Different fetishes are wedged here and there clumsily, you might as well just go watch hentai straight away.

2) The plot is naught, nil, zilch, nada. It's forced, naïve, predictable, uninteresting, dull, and so on. If you like a good story, just give this manga a pass.

The only thing that's good is art. I might as well just scroll through all chapters just for the aesthetics.

To make things short: It's not outstanding, but enjoyable "Gameworld"-Fantasy.

I don't really know the exact name for worlds which have a "game" system, so in lack of a better world, I'll call it that.

Our protagonist is your average goody twoshoes boyscout who is going for the harem speedrun. He starts out with a power called "great sage" that's like a guidebook for his world.

"Hey, great sage, how do I get gud?" - "Go to the hidden dungeon only you can enter" <- Namedrop


It initially comes with a downside tho: It gives him great headaches. But not to worry, the main girl has just found a solution for that: Kissing. If he makes out with her, the pain will go away.

Story starts, Our MC Noir Stargazer (cool name btw) goes into that Dungeon that feels like a randomizer Dungeon from your average dungeon crawler and finds a chained woman that gives him OP powers for free. The downside? It's cast from Hitpoints.

But do not worry! He can regain the Hitpoints by doing Hedonistic stuff like eating yummy food, spending a lot of money and... sexy things. And you can guess what the main source of his Lifereg will be.



The story is pretty generic, a goal exists, goal will be reached, next goal comes... a lot of fanservice that increases in saucyness over time and is plot relevant. So far there weren't many huge twists, but it's stil an enjoyable read.


Since this is getting an Anime now you can see the fanservice with Sound effects as well, so if you enjoy the manga, I'd recommend to watch the Anime as well. The first episode looks quite promising!

Hoping reading this review helps you decide if you want to pick this one up into your list. Stumbling upon this manga and finding if its worthy of your time, you'll be the judge of that.


The one strong point of this manga is its Art style. Heavily emphasize on the Ecchi scene, so we the reader want to continue to indulge our self more on the alluring Art style and the character designs is somewhat good at the later chapters because of the Great Sage Unique Skill and the LP (Life Points) system. Its because of the Ecchi scene. At first the Art style feels off, it doesn't feel right like the other manga you read but it gradually improve the later chapters. The fighting scene is somewhat decent and mixed with a little bit of Ecchi to spice things up, that's how it is, expect more to a manga that has Ecchi genre. The background scenery can be simple, like I said it will gradually improve in the later chapters. I see now why this is having an Anime adaptation. Sigh...

The plot of this manga is one of the weakest point. Reading through the chapters you probably realize and lose the interest of the whole plot of the manga. As a reader of the manga, is a no go. The reason why because of the over the top Ecchi nonsense and the less main plot development, except to the people who like this kind of stuff and doesn't bother with the plot. Main plot development is crucial to attract more readers and enjoy the current volumes. It doesn't matter how much Ecchi scene you cram on one chapter if the reader loses the reason to continue to read and don't expect proper Romance because of the Harem genre just to inform you ahead. The supporting character plot development can be none noticeable after introducing them for the first time. I really like the Idea of the LP (Life Points) system of the male protagonist. The three special unique skills given by the famous adventurer. The how and when to replenish the LP meter is a little bit interesting. To replenish as usual the best way to replenish a whole ton of LP is doing Lustful activities, the other two are Appetite and Material desire. That's the only thing that interest me at first and gradually lose my interest because of the none interesting Male Harem Protagonist Syndrome. I do like some of them but not this one. Can't even pork one girl, what a chicken. You'll know the reason why I said that if you decided to read the manga.

Do I want to continue to read this manga? Nope. Pointless. Nothing is garbing my attention to read more. I'll just put this On-Hold for now and I do recommend this for newer people that pique thy interest, just don't expect to much.

Do not run away, running away is for cowards. This is the world for the brave, the world where there are lots of dungeons. The world, where there are many undiscovered paths to untouched treasures. At least, that is what people say. The story focuses upon a boy, who one day discovers a woman in the dungeon. Chained and unable to move, she claims to be one of the best adventures. She tells the boy a story that one day, she was clearing the dungeon and met a demon. Although, it only took her seconds to defeat the demon, it also activated the trap. And because of that, she has been chained for 200 years already. The boy explains the chained heroine that he wishes to become stronger in order to become a hero known to everyone and to be of help to his family. That is why, the chained heroine agrees to share her power with the boy and grants him very powerful skills. Every time he uses one of these skills, his life force will be consumed. Once it reaches 0, he dies. To refill the life force: lust, desires and just tasteful food will do.

I have very mixed feelings on this one. Maybe this is because of the fact that this series is a borderline ecchi, maybe because of the fact that you do not know what to expect out of it. What I mean is that this manga tries to touch upon some serious topics: a boy, whose family belongs to the lowest nobles, does not want to be a burden to his family and so he tries to become a strong hero that will have the power to help friends and make his family proud of him and then you see some rather questionable episodes that make you doubt the whole manga. Like, you cannot take seriously a manga, where a male protagonist asks women to sit on his face to restore his ‘life force’, which is the resource needed for him to cast magic.

Do not get me wrong, though. I do not have anything against ecchi. But there should be limit. Okay, Noru needs ‘life force’ to be able to cast magic and it is stated in the manga that tasty food and just whenever he accomplishes something in his life, help him restore his power. However, most of the time he restores his magic with the help of these borderline ecchi moments, which makes it somewhat boring. I am not trying to say that this manga is awful, though. It also has good things about it: boy is not that usual crybaby, his family does not have status and he does not want to be a burden to them and he wants to succeed in life without the help of his family. Because of him being a hard worker, he meets the strongest hero there is, who agrees to train him and many, many more.

All in all, this manga will have an anime adaptation and the best comparison I have for this manga is Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?. So, if you enjoyed Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, I guess you will enjoy this manga, as well!
