Kenja no Mago addpermalink

Copy paste... almost. Same same but different.Isekai, main gets engaged (Not yet married unfortunately), gets cozy with powerful figures, and starts living well off. Oh, and is OP.So if you liked Kenja no Mago, Hachi-nan tte, Sore wa Nai deshou! might be another you'll like. You'd be surprised how similar they are!All we need now is a second season for both of these
