The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash
31 March 2024
This isekai series is centred on Femicia, a young girl who lives in a world where people's worth is judged on the star rating of their magical skills. Unfortunately for her it emerges that she has a single skill and that is zero stars. This is considered so inauspicious that she is run out of town. She soon uses has single skill, the ability to tame creatures, to tame a weak slime. She names it Sora. When people meet her they mistake her for a young boy, she doesn't correct them and tells them her name is Ivy. Over the course of the series she makes friends and proves surprisingly useful in a local conflict.

Another season, yet another isekai show! This one is rather gentle and a lot of fun. Usually our protagonist will be ridiculously overpowered so it makes a refreshing change to have a lead who isn't obviously powerful. Femicia/Ivy is a delightful lead and Sora is a lot of fun. There are some nicely tense moments even though nobody is likely to think Ivy will be harmed. Secondary characters, both friends and antagonists are good. The character designs are good and animation is of a good quality. It might not be a must see but I'd certainly recommend it to fans of the genre.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
