The review suggests the manga's rushed pacing may leave readers wondering where the story can go next after front-loading so many key events.
Reporting from 1 sources: Siliconera (Anime).
Siliconera reviews the first volume of Merit and the Egyptian God, a shojo manga from Fuyu Tsuyama and Yukari Sakai published by Yen Press. The review notes the story moves extremely fast, packing major romantic milestones like the first kiss and multiple rescues into the first volume, leaving little room for character development.
The first volume of Merit and the Egyptian God, a shojo manga by Fuyu Tsuyama and Yukari Sakai, has been released by Yen Press. In a review, Siliconera notes the story wastes no time getting the heroine Merit into the realm of the gods after her death, where she meets a human-looking Anubis cursed by Thoth for neglecting his duties. By the end of the first volume, the leads have already connected, kissed, and Anubis has rescued Merit multiple times. The review calls the pacing rushed, with events that would normally span two volumes packed into one, and hopes the second volume slows down. Volume 2 is scheduled for September 22, 2026.
