Now, it's obviously a parody/gag manga from the word go. The bottles-stuck-to-ass gag is pretty great. Every interaction with Melina is a joy. Godrick is goofy.

But it's also kind of a good Elden Ring manga? Aseo is such a dumbass it can't help but be a comedy, but it also rings true to the spirit of the game in a lot of ways and the characters don't feel like they need to stretch all that far to fit in to this manga's gags. It's mostly just that Aseo has half a brain cell and never knows where it went.
