Today it's time to have a look at the closing book of the JK Haru series, an isekai series which, even though it is her work in the other world, isn't that ecchi at all.
Which is a good thing, because gratuite nudity has been exchanged for a good story!
The book contains mostly the "sequel story" after the events of volume 6, seeing how Kyori and Haru go on with their life. Lupe is prime candidate to become the new madam of the brothel, while Sumo has intensified his skills in baking. Meanwhile, Haru can't stop thinking about the grey-haired guy, as Kyori notices a change in Haru, in which she often spaces out in thought during conversations.
Haru tells Kyori and Lupe that she will return to venture into the forest, refusing to take Kyori along who wants to become a genuine adventurer. Kyori has taken an intrest in Killak, a low ranked B-level adventurer, and after some dates she beds him, but this goes sour as she isn't a virgin anymore. Lupe comforts her, seeing as she is one of the few friends Kyori has.
During her weekly prayer session in church, she is approached by three other sisters who never where that nice to her. They hand her a message from Killak, and she decides to join them in an excursion into the forest, in the hopes of catching up to Haru out there. But it is all a set-up, and after the others got half drunk, they want to rape Kyori, exposing her for the slut she really is. But Chiba stumbles onto the scene, and while mistaken at first, quickly engages the adventurers. First ridiculed for being a lower level, they quickly learn about his cheat skill as he overcomes them without any problems, freeing Kyori who kicks her fellow sisters across the face, and have them excommunicated from the order afterwards.
Two weeks later, Haru has returned from her expedition, as Kyori tells her Lupe is training Chiba. Kyori confesses she wants to be more like Haru, as Haru recounts her adventure and how she froze up in front of the Demon Lord's castle, breaking down crying.
Lupe and Haru think Kyori is warming up towards Sumo, while Haru confronts her inner self, realising she still needs to "grow" despite her inherint power to confront the Demon Lord, as God passes by to make use of Haru's services again. He tells her Shequraso has already picked a mother to be reincarnated from, and Haru tells him he needs to watch over her and her mother. The laughter of God however seems to indicate it will be here...
And so the story concludes, as Haru watches a falling star, wishing for everyone both in this world and her old world to find peace and live a free life...
As a bonus material, there is a short story set somewhere earlier in the series where Haru learns about the history of the world, as well as an interview with the creators of the series.
So the series ends, and it was a damn good one of a girl isekai'd into a world where women are oppressed, yet manages to work her way upwards through pain, loss, and the finding of friendship, highly recommended reading!
