In Orario, the only place in the world that hosts the entrance to the massive subterranean Dungeon, there's a certain tavern where the most desperate and vulnerable bring their troubles. There, the ex-adventurer Lyu Lion uses her terrifying strength to wrest what justice she can from the shadows of the Labyrinth City! But when a girl goes missing and all evidence points toward the powerful Grand Casino, she may need more than brute force to help...!
In case you couldn't tell already, this little series is a spin-off about Lyu! As such we get to see more of the Benevolent Mistress and the waitresses and owner as well as the general goings on there. Plus, obviously, we get to know more about Lyu and her past!
Honestly, while this is set in the world of the main Is It Wrong series, and has characters like Bell and Syr pop up, it felt kind of like a heist/spy movie as Lyu has to infiltrate a casino and locate Anna. Of course we end the volume before the rescue portion of the mission starts, but Lyu is such a badass and has some solid skills when it comes to the information gathering, and luckily for them...Bell has a lot of luck.
This initial volume is nicely paced and has a different feel to it than the other volumes and spin-offs in this series, and Lyu is going to prove to be a capable and interesting main character. I'm looking forward to seeing this series continue, as it doesn't as yet focus on the dungeons, and alludes to Lyu's past a lot. As much as I love the adventuring and the dungeons...this is a nice break from that!
