🍷 [Manga Sommelier Hitsujigaoka] "Ranking of Kings," "Delicious in Dungeon," "The Promised Neverland." An appraisal of souls overcoming the trials of kindness.

Welcome. I am Hitsujigaoka, your manga sommelier.

When the curtain of night falls, everyone seeks a story to read next within their heart. I am here in this appraisal room to unravel that hesitation for you.

Now, tonight's guest is Naoyuki-sama.

Let me show you the quiet path leading to the "essence of your preferences" discerned from the "three titles" you love from the bottom of your heart, and the "destined one" that has been chosen.

🍷 Tonight's guest's "preferences"

Naoyuki: Good evening, are you open today?
I've come again. Today, I'm in the mood to talk about thefantasy genre works I love.

Hitsujigaoka: I have been waiting for you, Naoyuki-sama. Now, would you quietly tell me thethree works you love from the bottom of your heart?

Naoyuki: Yes.

• "Ranking of Kings"

• "Delicious in Dungeon"

• "The Promised Neverland"
  , please.

Hitsujigaoka: Oh, I see. I have certainly received them.

"Ranking of Kings," "Delicious in Dungeon," "The Promised Neverland"—what delicate, warm, and "trial"-filled three titles you have chosen. There is an exquisite "flavor" of kindness and survival flowing through them.

🥃 Sommelier Hitsujigaoka's Tasting Notes

Understood. I, Hitsujigaoka, shall appraise the quiet yet life-warmth-bearing scent rising from these three books.

The scent rising from these three "titles" is truly—

"Survival lurking within kindness," "Growth of those who carry weakness," and "Wisdom and bonds that transcend the unreasonableness of other worlds."

Every one of these works depicts a "story of life" with an exquisite blend of cruelty and kindness. Naoyuki-sama, you deeply crave stories that attempt to grasp hope through wisdom and a pure heart, even in a difficult world, don't you?

Responding to that delicate yet powerful flavor, here are the three selections I have confidently chosen for you this evening.

🍷 First Glass: "Made in Abyss" (Author: Akihito Tsukushi)

Tagline: The deeper you dive into the bottomless darkness, the more precious the light becomes.

Hitsujigaoka's Perspective: Like "The Promised Neverland," the contrast between adventure into the unknown and a cruel reality is its charm. You can also feel the "trial of purity" found in "Ranking of Kings." An overwhelming abyss lurks behind the cute art style. What is depicted at the end of the adventure is a story of the fragility and rebirth of life.

*Volume 1 is available to read for free in the Kindle version.

🍷 Second Glass: "Golden Kamuy" (Author: Satoru Noda)

Tagline: An epic of the northern land swirling with blood, laughter, and gourmet food.

Hitsujigaoka's Perspective: A work that seems to fuse the "depicting life through food" element of "Delicious in Dungeon" with the "wisdom and survival" of "Neverland." It is a grand adventure tale where food, culture, and battle are unified. At times cruel, at times humorous, it depicts the intense way of life of each individual character.

*Volume 1 is available to read for free until 2025/11/4 23:59.

🍷 Third Glass: "Witch Hat Atelier" (Author: Kamome Shirahama)

Tagline: Magic is born between hope and despair.

Hitsujigaoka's Perspective: Perfect for those who want to savor the "weight of reality lurking within kindness and fantasy" like in "Ranking of Kings" or "Delicious in Dungeon." A magical world depicted with brushstrokes like a detailed painting. Behind the growth story of an innocent girl, the ethics and taboos of the world quietly lurk.

*Volume 1 is available to read for free until 2025/10/23 23:59.

🧭 The Path to Your "Book of Destiny"

Hitsujigaoka: Now, Naoyuki-sama. From these three, could you choose the 'one book of destiny' that captures your heart most this evening?

Naoyuki: ...Well, that's a tough choice, but this time I'll go with 'Witch Hat Atelier', as the art is truly beautiful. I'm in the mood to immerse myself in a world of magic.

Hitsujigaoka: Certainly. 'Witch Hat Atelier,' it is.

You chose this work because you strongly desire a heart that believes in the magic called kindness beyond cruel absurdity.

Following the story of the innocent Bojji who moves forward despite his weakness as depicted in 'Ranking of Kings,' I believe you will find the most comforting connection in how a girl named Coco encounters the severity and beauty of magic, and steps one by one toward the truth of the world.

The 'wisdom and bonds that transcend the absurdity of another world' you seek will be depicted in this work through precise and beautiful magical brushstrokes as a quiet yet unwavering hope.

I sincerely hope that this book will fill your quiet night with deep emotion.
