There's nothing that stands out, and it's tropey but fun. A lot of Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Quest, and JRPG energy/references are dispersed throughout this. A good read for kids interested in manga without anything unsavory!
I'd like to see more character from Orin. Margo has some character motivation (why she must protect him; a family situation hinted at) and vices (money-hungry) that make her more dynamic and interesting. Outside of being the chosen one, there's not much to Orin, but I hope he gets more fleshed out in subsequent volumes. He's a good kid.
The middle-aged dad being added to the RPG party was a hoot and a favorite of mine.
I'd read volume two. This debut sets up the story and its main characters well. I see the main evil dude's daughter is a wildcard, which should be fun.
