I May Be A Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss To Clock Out On Time...

I took the opportunity to watch I May Be A Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss To Clock Out On Time...
Alina thought she had found the perfect job as a guild receptionist. It's stable, safe, and has a super cute uniform. But this dream gig turns into an overtime nightmare whenever adventurers get stuck clearing a dungeon. Tired of the long nights, Alina starts taking down the bosses herself! She even earns the name Executioner for her impressive skills. Can she keep her identity a secret?
Alina, a receptionist, is a workaholic, but, she really enjoys the satisfaction of clocking out on time at the end of a long day. But, as fate would have it, sometimes the heroes aren't hero enough to do the job in a timely fashion, resulting in more paperwork and *gasp* overtime. To move things along and return to her ideal overtime-free life, Alina decides to take matters into her own hands disguised as the Executioner. Alina's life becomes complicated when, a disgruntled adventurer causes havoc in the town resulting in the destruction of Alina's home -- her sanctuary. Needless to say, Alina is furious and decides to take out the troublemaking adventurer and the monster he rode in on disguised as the Executioner.

Unfortunately, although she made a clean getaway, her boss, the guild master, has the ability to stop time and look at events in the recent past and he uses this ability to get a good look at the Executioner. After a tense meeting with the guild master, Alina comes away with a deal. In exchange for helping the guild master establish a new dungeon which could exponentially increase Alina's workload, Alina gets a commitment from the guild master of more manpower to manage the increased workload. The situation escales as the new dungeon is found to be irregular in many paperwork inducing respects.

As if that weren't bad enough, rumors are circulating about a scheme to increase one's innate power and a number of adventurers have died resulting in - you guessed it - more paperwork for Alina. As the series progresses, Alina finds herself dealing with more field work than she would prefer and more overtime than she ever thought possible. There's a bit of a twist near the end as the person pulling the strings in the background is revealed. We have a modest amount of red ink as adventurers do die, but, no naughty bits to speak of. I enjoyed I May Be A Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss To Clock Out On Time and gave it a 4 out of 5. The cover art is fake as at the time of this writing there is no U.S. physical release.
