First Impression: Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells

As a little kid, Toka Mimori would be kicked around by an abusive adult who laughed and laughed like the Joker. Meanwhile, his mother just looked at the TV, her back to them. Time has passed, but Mimori’s world still plays by the same rules: in the present, his classmate Oyamada (who looks a bit like the Joker himself) has taken away the novel the bookish class rep was reading, and is goofing off in the school bus. The teacher is looking elsewhere, and Mimori’s classmates are silent—perhaps a whispered comment or grunt here and there, but nothing more. Despite himself, and despite fully knowing that his chances aren’t good, Mimori gets up and intervenes. He gets lucky this time: Kirihara, the class king, is tired of all the fuss: from the last row, surrounded by the cool kids, he declares that enough is enough; Mimori doesn’t interest him at all. But with a title this long, reader, you won’t be shocked to know that they all suddenly find themselves in the presence of the self-proclaimed, half-dressed goddess Vicius and some robed monks in a fantasy world. You know how it goes: demon king, desperate times, summoned heroes, videogame stats. But when Mimori happens to be an E-rank hero, the lowest of the low, he discovers that his classmates, his teacher, and the goddess herself are all more despicable than he ever knew.

Series Review: Failure Frame

The full series name is Failure Frame: I Became The Strongest And Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells.

I'm gonna admit up front that I put off touching this series because the title alone was such a turnoff. Happily, it turns out the title has almost nothing to do with the actual story. This is a good series, people, and worth giving time to.

Let's get into it.

First, you may legitimately ask, if the title's deceptive why is it there and what is this REALLY about?

The title is there to give you a beginning. Because yes, this is how it starts; Our Hero is isekai'd with his whole class to another world, and Our Hero is quickly separated from all the others because he's "too weak", having only a few debuff/DOT spells to his name (which in this world almost never work, and when they do, don't work long). But lo! Of course, Our Hero's version is nothing like that, and So Our Journey Begins. Our Hero will take revenge on everyone that cast him aside!

...So that's what you'll see in probably most reviews. It's true, that's basically the first few episodes. Touka (our Hero) is isekai'd, cast aside, left to die, and is justifiably pissed off about it and swears revenge. And women fall for him through the storyline, including The Most Beautiful Woman In The World.

But as with any story, it's not the pieces but how they're put together that really counts. Let me tell you about those.

Firstly...this story is ABOUT abuse. It's about what abuse does to you, what it makes of you (and doesn't make of you). It's about toxic people and how even the best kindest people can be twisted by them. It's about how people get broken, and how some get better and some get worse. If you got into Bungo Stray Dogs because Atsushi or Akutagawa's backstories tugged at your heart, this is very much a story for you.

Touka is a survivor of hellish abuse. His parents didn't want him and did their best to kill him, until neighbors saw what was happening and Touka was placed in the care of his aunt and uncle. From them he learned kindness, and trust, and caring...but he is damaged, as anyone would be. In Touka's case, he's internalized that he is a 'bad person', a cruel person. His parents were both cruel and he is their son, and when they beat him and hurt him he wished them dead. He's very good at spotting abusive/toxic people and he thinks he's like them. This is a constant through the story; Touka 'performs' kindness, or at least thinks he does. He 'performs' being a good person. The story's told from his pov in the light novel, so you can see a lot of his rationalizations about how self-serving his 'goodness' is.

You'll also see a lot of characters tell him he is, in fact, kind. There's a good reason for that, too, that isn't entirely to do with Touka himself.

See, this isekai world is, to put it mildly, FUCKED UP. Top to bottom, it is ROYALLY fucked up.

The Goddess of this isekai - the one that pulls people in, trains the heroes, dictates policy, grants favor, etc? She is the very epitome of a toxic, abusive personality. She's hateful and manipulative and yes, a goddess. Nobody can touch her. Nobody outpowers her. The entirety of this isekai world is stuck between this abusive goddess and "the root of all evil", the demon king that Touka's class was sucked into this to deal with.

Now, most of Touka's class are...not great people. They're mostly not utterly awful, at the start, but they're mostly not great people. (There's like...one or two exceptions. But only one or two.) They're flavors of neglected, of cracked, of hurting. But they get isekai'd straight into this hellworld, where their only real guide is this toxic goddess...Touka is disposed of early on as an example to the others, really. The goddess chooses him (as the apparently weakest summon) to basically make it clear to the rest of the class that this can and will happen to them, too, if they don't pull their weight. That's the kind of world this is.

In a world like that, where power to get away with what you want to do is ALL that matters...there's a lot of very horrible, very powerful people.

The STORY is about how the isekai'd class responds to that world.

Yes, the whole class. Not just Touka. Character development for everybody!

Of course, Touka is Our Hero, so we get a lot of his pov. And how he proceeds, what he sees. Yes, he does wind up with the Most Beautiful Girl In The World (tm) - but man, I love how the story dealt with this.

I mean. Think about it. You're in a hellworld where the local deity rewards the idea of the powerful taking what they want. And you're a beautiful, kind woman.

Life expectancy should be around 0.5 seconds, y'know?

Seras Ashrain is the female lead here. She is so beautiful that anything belonging to her has significant black market value. WARS have been started over her, and over who gets to 'possess' her. She's a prize in the eyes of many. A trophy.

She's also a very sweet young lady, kind and true, and before you go bwuh - think about every twerp of a boy you've ever seen when he's confronted with a beautiful girl. They stutter. They're shy. They Just Want To Talk. Seras Ashrain is a walking catalyst, but spends a lot of the story unaware of it because things happen AROUND her and BECAUSE of her, but almost no one tells her anything to her face. They just want to be liked by her, and be her friend. Except for the ones so powerful that they feel they can skip all that and go right to the rape, but even then she doesn't really see why they're after her.

Touka gets through all this because he's so damaged by events that he flat out does not have time for this bullshit. He takes her in because she's a superb combatant and he needs the fighting skill. And because Seras is a magnet for powerful assholes, he also gets a lot of training in his skills by helping her protect herself.

She falls in love with him because he doesn't try to get in her pants, letting her try to get into his instead. Yes, that's how low the bar is for 'goodness' in this isekai. He's not a rapist, he's not an abuser. Therefore he's a Good Guy.

It's probably important to remember that context. The story doesn't shy away from the fact that Touka can be really ruthless, manipulative, and cold. His survival is on the line and he never, ever forgets that. He can and WILL use everyone around him in service to the greater goal of a) Not dying, b) revenge on the goddess that put him in this spot, and c) getting home. But there's lines he won't cross, and having those lines (at all) is what makes him the better option for a lot of the cast.

I think the best example of this I can give is this: at one point in the story, Touka is seeking a specific witch. They've never met, the witch is in hiding for good reasons, and he knows she's a dark elf. Along this route, he finds out there is a possible guide to the witch, who is connected to a dark elf child, currently enslaved. Pragmatically, sight unseen, he decides to kidnap/free the dark elf child because this will make the witch look more favorably on him after tracking her down. That said, when he MEETS the child, he realizes she's being physically and mentally abused by her owner. (The owner is doing this because the local lord has taken a shine to the slave and wants her broken before teaching her to be a sex slave, but while the owner's doing this under orders it's pretty clear they don't MIND doing this either.) The guide is a good person and doesn't want Extra Trouble. Touka has his own views on the matter. Firstly he is Very Gentle with the slave girl, and very careful of her trauma. Once the slave is removed from the abuser, and safe off with the guide, he kills the owner slowly. (I should point out that owing to the nature of Touka's magic, he doesn't have much choice about that. Some, but not much.) The slaveowner of course uses the time to plead for their life, including "if you kill me you'll go to hell with me, but if you spare me you'll go to heaven".

Touka just laughs. Because of course he's going to hell. There was never any doubt in his mind about that. The slave owner cannot be trusted, therefore cannot be spared. He kills her and tries to make it look like a robbery.

Like I said. This is about abuse, toxicity, and the ways people do or do not survive that. Because not everyone does. Several members of Touka's class don't make it to the final chapters. A few others turn bad, twisted by the way the world around them works. Quite a few wind up pretty damaged.

I started with the anime, and was intrigued enough to go to the light novel. I'd absolutely recommend the series. The anime, being released over time in smaller chunks, might take more patience.

summer anime recs

whats up it's ya girl the isekai scholar. here's what's coming up this summer in the anime sphere

probably good

isekai shikkaku / no longer allowed in another world: the manga is legitimately fun. a depressed writer commits suicide with his lover and wakes up in another world with one goal: to find a perfect place to die. the studio behind isekai ojisan, AtelierPontdarc, is doing this one; i didn't like isekai ojisan but that might be a selling point to those who did!

suicide squad isekai: it's the suicide squad from DC and they're in an isekai. not much to say about this one. lots of heavy hitters on the design side of this one, with Wit Studio (spy x family, vivy) as well as writers Eiji Umihara (vivy) and Tappei Nagatsuki (original creator of re:zero, vivy) attached to it. i'll probably watch it even though i disagree with the choice to have mori calliope do the ending theme

also probably good (not isekai): oshi no ko season 2 (doga kobo), tower of god season 2 (the answer studio), atri: my dear moments (TROYCA), dungeon no naka no hito (OLM), tensui no sakuna-hime (P.A. Works)

probably skip

hazurewaku no "joutai ijou skill" de saikyou ni natta ore ga subete wo juurin suru made / failure frame: i became the strongest and annihilated everything with low-level spells: yeah the manga for this one is just kinda boring. it's the kind of isekai that's the template for a lot of modern isekai; guy gets summoned to another world with his class and gets skills but ohhh noooo he's got the bad skills so he's kicked out!! but his skills are the strongest actually! if you like that sort of thing you'll probably like this one. it's better than arifureta at least. studio seven arcs (tonikaku kawaii, mahou shoujo lyrical nanoha) is doing this one.

maougun saikyou no majutsushi wa ningen datta / the strongest magician in the demon lord's army was a human: another one that's essentially explained by its title. i wouldn't consider this one bad based on the manga per se, but i don't think i'm inclined to watch the anime based on it since i thought the manga was fine, i guess. in fact, i'd probably recommend against it given how Studio A-CAT fucked up the kenja no deshi wo nanoru kenja adaptation. yeah i'm still mad about that!

surprisingly slim pickings on the isekai front despite it being summer! lots more happening next season with that for sure. thank you for reading. read destiny unchain online!
