A Battle to Save the Kingdom of Windberg!

The Monsters Attack

Following Seiichi’s successful thwarting of the King’s assassination, The Fruit of Evolution’s fourth volume features the climax to the series’ first arc. The evil empire of Kaizell isn’t the only group gunning for Windberg’s destruction, as the Demon Lord’s army has finally decided to make their move.

As a monster horde descends on the capital, knights and adventurers alike join the fray to defend their homeland. Chief among the participants are Seiichi and his gang and all the characters they’ve met while calling Windberg their home. It turns out that being unabashed perverts makes up only part of their personality. As it turns out, all that stands between them and becoming S-rank adventurers is their strange proclivities. 

The battle itself makes for a great place to showcase all the strange skills shared by the people of Windberg – from Saria’s gorilla arms to the muscle strength of the guildmaster. Unfortunately for Seiichi, even in amongst these strange spectacles, he still manages to stand out, killing all the monsters in one foul swoop driving himself closer and closer to becoming the ultimate monstrosity.

Art, Food and Culture

Away from the ferocities of battle, the fourth volume of the series still has plenty of comedy and downtime. This volume’s linking theme is culture, and Seiichi’s group are determined to experience it to the fullest.

Lulune gets the heaviest focus, going on the longest date of the three. To nobody’s surprise, their date involves food, specifically an eating contest. Expect a large amount of word puns to be thrown around here.

Other comedic highlights include a theatre date where the performance is a cultural import from Earth and an art competition making Seiichi the star of the show.

Overall, The Fruit of Evolution’s fourth outing continues its signature zany comedic style, this time offering a small amount of redemption to the capital’s perverted adventurers as the series moves on to new pastures. With a reunion between Seiichi and his former classmates imminent, I expect a lot of chaos to come from the next couple of volumes!
