Oda Akira is the kind of guy who people forget is even there. His unassuming nature pays off, though, when his entire class is swept away to a fantasy world, and he slips easily into his new role as a silent assassin. Between his suspiciously high starting stats and too many details that don’t fit, Akira is sure something is wrong. But digging into royal secrets is a dangerous game, and when Akira uncovers an evil scheme, he also makes a powerful enemy—the very king who brought him to this world! With the help of the elven spirit medium Amelia, can he find the power to set things right, and get his revenge?
I had a lot of fun watching this! I tried to read it a ways back but caught up too quickly, and the anime goes past what I’ve read. I do have the series now but I watched the anime first to get back into it.
The series is quite nice, very edge-lord but in a fun (and well-budgeted) way.
The opening I think illustrates it quite well.
And here is the first scene in the anime, which baits you into watching more (there is a moment of OOF OUCH LIMBS DON’T POINT THAT WAY fyi):
That said, I wish we got more time with Saran to really get the viewer itching as bad for revenge as our MC…
