A brief description of the manga Home Centre Sales Clerk’s Life in Another World ~with the titles – “DIY Master”, “Green Master” and “Pet Master”~:
Mako, a home centre sales clerk, fell asleep at the entrance of her house after her shift due to work fatigue. Only to wake up in a different world?! She was at a complete loss when the beastmen twins gave her shelter from the storm in their house in the village.
However, it was a very poor village with tattered houses and no crops. In order to help her lifesavers, Mako decides to revitalize the village using the cheat skills unique to the home improvement clerk, obtained in a different world!
I found from Mangadex that this story is completed at chapter 18.
There has been an official publication in English, but no further scanlation so far.
8 months no chapters and this is on the front page sites running out manga to advertise for ig lmao
10 chapters in and I have some mixed feelings so far. Story is mostly wholesome with a little conflict brewing, but its basically your run of the mill isekai power fantasy. Don’t go into this with anything in mind other than a fairly basic plot, with some cute things and all your isekai tropes. There is no nuance with the MC so far, she’s basically a saint/good Samaritan character who just wants to help people. If you just want to read something that’s easy to digest this is for you.
This story is an ok way to pass an hour. It’s not good to think while reading it, the plot is a colander, the villain is barely one dimensional, and the MC constantly spouts nonsense. The basics of a very good story are here, an editor could have really turned this into something great. I liked the MC’s original power, but then it was upgraded to ‘everything she makes is a potential superweapon’, and then almost immediately she has to fight an army and doesn’t even consider using the weapons she just made, it’s like the author never put any thought into this.
That said, it’s brief and not necessarily unpleasant. Not a recommend, but YMMV
