Summary
Hanai is a junior higher and the best at table tennis. She's never lost, and she's won many tournaments, but after some freshman she's never heard of beats her like it was nothing, she starts losing every game after that and she can't get rid of that feeling of defeat. Now it's her first day of high school and she's decided to quit table tennis and live an ordinary high school life, but on the first day, she runs into the very girl that first defeated her. It turns out that she's also quit table tennis, but this girl always has a cold expression on her face and Hanai can't help but feel that this girl is always looking down on her and trying to mess up her perfect high school life. One day the girl falls asleep in class, and Hanai reaches over to wake her up. As she does so, the girl, still half asleep, looks up at her with a smile and almost kisses her. The girl later tells Hanai that she was having a dream about her, but Hanai coldly brushes it off thinking she's just messing with her and walks away - as the girl behind her looks down while blushing...
So, having binged this manga... It had a good start where a technical one-trick-pony was able to be amazing by applying knowledge, effort and imagination to turn a basic magic technique into the most versatile and powerful magical force conceivable. It even came to the point that within his barriers he was a god who could create a pocket of literal Heaven... Now, it just feels derivative and generic.
The MC's chaste wife seems to have changed for the worst; while hinted at being a special existence by her biological father, she is now some kind of reincarnated Angel? No explanation given as to the change... and now the Elder Super-Vamp Queen he turned into his familiar has become just an upstart youngster of her race. She was supposed to be the most knowledgeable and powerful of her kind which is why he encountered her first as she was the first to break her seal due to her formidable power and familiarity with the magic used on her and her kind... The long this series goes, the worst it gets... I mean; did the author just completely drop the plot about his previous country going to shit without him and how they desperately want him back? Ah well.
