Manga Review: Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Vol. 1

A couple months ago I was thinking about starting to read a Light Novel, and one that was recommended was Mushoku Tensei. I didn't start any LN, but this week I decided to go for some manga. And then, for my pleasure, I found out that there's a manga version being published. Hooray!

A SECOND CHANCE IN A NEW WORLD!
An unemployed otaku has just reached the lowest point in his life. He wants nothing more than the ability to start over, but just as he thinks it may be possible...he gets hit by a truck and dies! Shockingly, he finds himself reborn into an infant’s body in a strange new world of swords and magic.
His identity now is Rudeus Greyrat, yet he still retains the memories of his previous life. Reborn into a new family, Rudeus makes use of his past experiences to forge ahead in this fantasy world as a true prodigy―gifted with maturity beyond his years and a natural born talent for magic. With swords instead of chopsticks, and spell books instead of the internet, can Rudeus redeem himself in this wondrous yet dangerous land?

Judging by its cover: The Harvest (The Heartland Trilogy #3) by Chuck Wendig

"You can't judge a book by its cover". This is one of the sayings that sure most readers end up doing without even realizing it. The reason for it is easy to imagine: the cover is usually the first thing we see (or know) about a book. We don't read the synopsis or summary without seeing the cover first, and even when someone recommends a book and you go search for more info you end up seeing the cover.

Regardless of the book being good or not, and that we base (or not) our reading interest by it, the point is that the cover is always something that can generate interest. And that's the case of a new book released this week: The Harvest

The Harvest (The Heartland Trilogy #3) by Chuck Wendig
Publisher: Skyscape
Release date: July 14th 2015
When Cael awakens from a Blightborn sleep, miles away from the world he remembers, he sets out across the Heartland to gather his friends for one last mission. As the mechanicals, a war flotilla, and a pack of feral Empyrean girls begin to close in on the Heartland, there isn’t much time to make their next move. But if they can uncover a secret weapon in time, Cael and his friends might just find themselves with the power to save the world — or destroy it — resting in their hands.

I loved the cover and, of course, I went to search for more information about this trilogy. It's a dystopic ( =/ ) steampunk ( :D ), that has sci-fi and fantasy elements ( =DD ). The premise is basically about a rebellion against a government that only allows corn to be planted, and that lives on sky flotillas while the workers try to survive on land. After the release of this last book on the trilogy, I'll search for reviews and decide if I'll read it. Looks very interesting!
