Yotsuya is a lone wolf and has always lived his life according to his wants, but how will that work out now that he's supposed to be a hero?! Get ready for a one-of-a-kind fantasy story that will challenge everything you thought you knew about fantasy!

Yamakawa and Nao launched the manga in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shonen Magazine in June 2016, and Kodansha published the manga's tenth compiled book volume on September 9. Kodansha Comics published the manga's ninth volume on July 14.
