Handyman Saitou in Another World Manga Volume 6 Highlights Relationships

While Handyman Saitou in Another World often comes across as a slice-of-life isekai story, it also ends up being a serious explorations of characters and their relationships. Never is this so obvious as in volume 6. Because of the nature of the story, we get to see not only how much Saitou means to everyone in his party, but also the nuances of more personal one-on-one pairings. Editor’s Note: There will be spoilers for volume 6 of the Handyman Saitou in Another World manga below. Volume 6 of Handyman Saitou in Another World volume 6 picks up right where the last volume of the manga left off. Raelza ended up separated from Saitou, Morlock, and Lafanpan went into the dungeon investigating the Golden Dullahan. When that happened, Raelza ended up with the Septicolor Knights leader, the Holy Knight Cadrea. That group is also searching for the unexpectedly strong foe that’s venturing into higher levels of the labyrinth where it hadn’t before. Image via Yen Press Right away, this already provides an opportunity for some insights. Recent installments pointed out the feelings that developed between Saitou and Raelza, as well as the general affection between everyone in the party. So rather than abandon her, the group is trying to reach the level where she dropped. There’s also a sense of respect and immediate camraderie between Raelza and Cadrea, since the two are both strong warriors who loved people they traveled with. It’s especially fascinating when we get these glimpses at Saitou’s inner thoughts concerning Raelza. We know he loves her. We’ve also seen over all the volumes how handy he’s proven as a party member, thanks to his versatility. So even if he isn’t physically strong, he’s more than proven his value and worth in a multitude of other ways. But with this separation and possible danger posed by the Golden Dullahan, we’re seeing his anxieties on full display. Given the nature of the foe and the ensuing events, it also makes it easy to see exactly why he might succumb to an attractive offer that would make him exactly who he thinks Raelza might need him to be, even though we have substantial proof over hundreds of pages that he’s already that person. Likewise, seeing Raelza’s reactions to Saitou when he’s at his worst and in danger are so heartening. Sad, considering what the two are going through, of course. But we’re seeing her respond in kind and do things that put her own safety at risk to show exactly how important he is. She’ll even turn on someone who previously she admired and respected if it means he’ll be safe. This goes for everyone. While the focus of this installment is Saitou and Raelza, as well as the comparison in some ways of their romance between Cadrea and her lost love, we also get prime examples of how much Morlock and Lafanpan care about Raelza and Saitou. There’s the fact that neither is willing to abandon either character in the dungeon in Handyman Saitou in Another World volume 6. We also see them going out of their way to keep Saitou safe. This means also putting their own lives at risk, just like Raelza, with Lafanpan’s assertion being even more potentially tragic and chilling. Of course, I’m not going to spoil the outcome of this excursion into the dungeon, but volume 6 of the Handyman Saitou in Another World manga once again does a fantastic job of developing characters and showcasing relationships. We get an even better look at how the main couple Saitou and Raelza feel about each other. There’s more background showing how everyone in the party feels about one another. It’s just satisfying to see even more interactions involving the group. Volume 6 of Handyman Saitou in Another World is available now, and Yen Press will release volume 7 on June 24, 2025. The anime is on Crunchyroll. The post Handyman Saitou in Another World Manga Volume 6 Highlights Relationships appeared first on Siliconera.
