This is a fantasy reincarnation not isekai comedy manga with a smidgen of mystery and even less romance in it Im surprised it even have a romance tag. So what actually happens in Sentou Maid? Essentially everyone who knew our eponymous Strongest Black Knight Albright who died 15 years or so ago are very and I mean very gay towards him who now as Maria just awkwardly observes how much his now her former comrades truly loved him in a variety of sense. We see their antics as they go crazy seeing visage of the late knight in this 15 y.o. combat maid making her fill as far as they are concerned his shoes by endlessly getting Maria to do whatever it was Albright did as ridiculous as that sounds this practically sets the tone for the story and comedy despite all the action mystery/underground crime thriller and even Marias PTSD the story doesnt stray much from being silly and for the most part something you cannot take seriously. And for the genderbender comedy fans surprisingly this manga is quite lacking in that department. Maria never really ponder or reflect upon her absurd situation and readily accepts that she is a girl now spending the little time she had with her new parents happily being raised like any other girl. Everyone may tease how manly she is and keeps treating her as one of the boys but she appropriately gets upset and annoyed whenever her girl power femininity so to speak is being questioned especially in the chest sector. The one character who is aware that Maria is Albright reincarnated for the longest time doesnt care about this change either despite its massive comedic and dramatic potential which is quite disappointing. The characters arent very deep and due to how many there are fighting for screen time they dont get many chance to be fleshed out either the only characters we really get to know is Maria and Lloyd who is the character most obsessed with Albright and for all intents and purposes is the male lead of this manga if you were to pick one unfortunately he is insane and at least for me personally quite unlikable so the only intrigue and tension you got out of him is wondering whatll happen once he realizes that Maria is indeed Albright. Okay so thats the story how about the plot then? The plot revolves around the mystery of Albrights death and the conspiracy surrounding it. This isnt executed badly but considering the kind of story were dealing with its serviceable. The conflict of the plot is about how Maria have a life of her own now as a servant of a shadow house whose residents she consider as precious family but she cant fully move on until she reconciliate her past as Albright and decides although forced to at first to get involved in the investigation unfortunately its not as compelling as it could and should be because the story is still all about the funnies her friends commits and the plot gets sidelined all the time to facilitates the hit and miss comedic moments. Contrary to how much this manga prioritizes its comedy and slice of life aspects it isnt suited for the usual turn your brain off style of reading because once in a while it will call back to plot relevant point that you had to pay attention to lest youll be left confused about what is going on. I shall leave it to you to decide whether thats a plus or a detriment. It may seem like Ive been really harsh on this manga but nevertheless there is enjoyment to be had underneath all the rough edges try reading a few chapters and continue if you like Maria enough and is at least somewhat interested in the mystery plot or even if you like the comedy feel free to drop if none of these applies to you.
