One of the fanservicey Seinen fantasy manga has come to an end! I followed this manga not really for the fanservice but for the absurd humor instead. Apparently this manga have finished its run last year but only has the complete fan translation recently.
Peter Grill and the Philosopher’s Time centers on Peter Grill, an adventurer renowned as the strongest man alive. Despite his unmatched combat prowess and being engaged to the love of his life—the pride of his guild—Peter’s life is far from peaceful. His strength has made him the target of countless beautiful women from various races, including demi-humans, all seeking to bear strong offspring. This leads to a series of misadventures that constantly test Peter’s vow of fidelity to his fiancée. Though he desperately tries to remain loyal, he continually finds himself ensnared in compromising situations with alluring women—ogres, elves, beastfolk, and more. What might seem like a blessing to other men is, for Peter Grill, a never-ending curse.
Throughout its run, Peter Grill and the Philosopher’s Time delivers a hilarious seinen fantasy that borders on smutty, yet never crosses into explicit territory like many modern R-18 fantasy or isekai manga. It’s almost as if a blonde-haired Achilles from Fate/Grand Order were thrown into a fantasy world and effortlessly ended up with a top-tier harem. While the ending feels rushed—likely due to the series being cut short after overstaying its welcome—Peter Grill never fails to make viewers laugh with its absurd and self-aware brand of fantasy comedy. It’s highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique and cheeky take on the seinen fantasy genre.
