Must Read
The Babysitting Gig From Hell (Literally!)
Now back in the real world, Akatsuki isn't living the hero's life. Instead, he's enrolled in BABEL, a special institution designed to protect and integrate returning heroes from other worlds. Think of it as Hogwarts, but with more awkward sexual tension and power-copying shenanigans.
His main mission? To look after a mysterious, powerful girl named Miu Osawa. She also came from Alayzard, and is implied to be the Dark Lord's daughter.
Talk about a messy family reunion waiting to happen! Suddenly defeating the Dark Lord feels like the easy part.

He becomes a mentor and protector, guiding them through the challenges of adapting to a new world while dealing with the lingering trauma of their past.
Beyond the Battles: The Comedy Gold
The humor in Aesthetica is top-notch. The sheer absurdity of Akatsuki's power combined with his deadpan personality creates endless opportunities for comedic gold.
Imagine explaining to your teacher why you had to, uh, "borrow" your classmate's ice powers. Or trying to maintain a platonic relationship with someone whose abilities you acquired through… yeah.
The internal monologues of other characters witnessing Akatsuki's antics are pure genius. They range from utter confusion to bewildered acceptance.
