Summary
From Yen Press: Meet Kobato Hanato, a sweet and rather simple young girl on a quest to have her single, dearest wish granted. But first, she must learn the ways of the world from Ioryogi-san, a gruff blue dog whose bark is just as bad as his bite! Under his “tutelage” (read: constant verbal abuse), Kobato puts her efforts into passing various trials of common sense so that she may obtain the key to getting her wish—a magic bottle which must be filled with the suffering of wounded hearts that Kobato herself has healed. But with Kobato’s common sense sorely lacking, she keeps flunking Ioryogi-san’s trials left and right! It looks like the road that lies ahead of Kobato will be a long one indeed!
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.
