In fact, Menou's object is to kill the summoned from another world, but at no time are they treated as villains per se. In fact, much of the time you realize that they too are a victim of that world's system.

This change of perspective is important because it shows how the author did not want to make a work to criticize the genre, but to try to give a new vision to this concept that has already been used until saying enough.

This also does not mean that the protagonist's actions are wrong or evil. In fact, that's exactly why I liked the anime.

The answer is not clear. There's no right or wrong. As much as there is injustice with those invoked, there is also justice on the part of Menou in protecting the world they live in.

The first episode manages to compress this idea very well, presenting a “protagonist” who was taken out of his world and sentenced to death because of it, while trying to explain to you why these invoked have become taboo.

As unfair as it sounds to kill the boy without giving it a chance, there is evidence that keeping that kind of person alive causes a lot of problems for the world as a whole and that's why Menou's actions are not unfounded.

This moral duality is something that gives the anime a nice identity and makes you interested in the construction of the world of the work, since things are not limited to just people being invoked by chance.

There are conspiracies behind it, political interests and other events related to the coming of these people from Japan that complement this dynamic of not having a line that divides the moral well in the protagonist's actions.

Another interesting thing about the isekai factor in the anime is the effects it had on the world of the work itself.

In addition to the various disasters that are mentioned by the protagonist, it is also nice to note at the beginning how there were also positive effects in the coming of the summoned ones, such as a “Japanetization” of the world.

These little things in the construction of the anime are interesting and show how the work tries to create something that goes beyond the standard clichés.

The only thing I would have liked to see a little more explanation for would be how the magic works.

I think this decoding/keywords scheme is really cool, but the anime doesn't delve into it and it's kind of superficial how it all works.

In addition to being charismatic, she does what it takes and knows how to make rational decisions when necessary, which keeps the story going well.

The fighting style he uses is one of my favorites, so most of the battles managed to keep me well entertained due to having those illusion moves and a little bit of strategy involved in the combat.

As for Akari… Well, 70% of the time she's kind of annoying with those “Menoou-chan!”, but the other 30% makes up for it by delivering a really intriguing protagonist.

In addition to drastically changing his personality and adding some layers of drama with his backstory, the way he makes it clear he's manipulating the story behind the camera gives the anime a pretty cool new perspective.

I think it was one of the anime's plot twists that I liked the most, because I wouldn't have imagined that she would be so involved with the events of the story and was pulling strings from behind to follow the script she created.

In fact, generally speaking, the entire cast managed to be quite competent on their own.

Even if they don't stray too far from certain clichés, they manage to deliver good dramas and present some interesting stories.

The supporting characters have their dilemmas and personal problems, like Momo, and the villains are not that complete stereotype of evil either, having some motivations and serving precisely to reaffirm the dangers that those invoked can bring to the protagonist's world.

Ashuna is a big woman of p— and needs no comment for the way she's always getting straight to the point and solving everything, literally, in the fight, besides that the villain of the end managed to give me a sense of real danger with her immortality.

In other words, even though there are no major developments on the part of the characters, everyone who appears on the scene has their share of development and relevance to the script, not getting that face of stage decoration.

As for the yuri romance factor that the work tries to sell, I would say it's ok.

Menou and Akari work in a certain way, but they didn't convince me much as a couple.

On the other hand, my shipp between Momo and Ashuna was maintained from start to finish.

The exchanges of barbs that the two have throughout the anime, in addition to being fun, give that feeling that something can come out of there.

If anything will really come out of all this, only the author can say, but from the experience of the anime, I would say that the focus here is not to have a novel itself or as a main factor in the development of the characters.

__In short, Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road is an anime that positively surprised me for bringing a relatively original idea and executing it satisfactorily.
The characters are fun and the pace at which the story progresses, along with certain plot twists, make you interested in what will happen to the characters.
Some things could be better used, of course, but the work manages to deliver what it promises and close everything that was shown as far as possible.__
