While you could say you get much more of her backstory than you do for the other girls in the cast, that's an awfully low bar, since you get almost nothing about them. She's pretty, popular, and athletic, but she's been emotionally scarred by the loss of a beloved senpai. The one who seems the most competent is named Lu Shindou. ![]() (They are, quite justifiably, not at all pleased about that.) (The show has a wickedly dark sense of humor at times, which inspired my choice for one of the Recs.) But through a combination of cleverness AND sheer desperation, he not only gets by, but gets a more varied set of character roles (and tools) than the girls do. The first couple of roles it assigns him leave him hilariously ill-equipped to even deal with such minor-league monsters as goblins. Yuusuke has a pretty terrible time of it the "game" keeps throwing him curveballs. Yuusuke's reaction to this is priceless.) (Later in the show, the Gamemaster appears in perhaps a more agreeable guise. You have to get them from "The Gamemaster", a strange figure who's missing the top of his head, and who always cuts short the last word in his sentences. A misanthrope who hates people but loves gaming, Yuusuke is pretty happy with the idea at first, but he finds the game more challenging than expected- and the consequences for failure (or perhaps even for success) may be very grim indeed.Īfter Isekai crap shows like In Another World With My Smartphone, here we have a show with all the trappings of such an Isekai show (including a bit of harem-ness), but with a male protagonist who, rather than being a perverted slacker like Smartphone's, is instead an anti-social, but analytical, sort who's trying his best to stay ahead in a "game" in which some of the most important rules- and, indeed, its very nature- are only available piecemeal, as "rewards" for successfully completing quests. Yuusuke Yotsuya is dragged into what seems to be a game world by two female classmates.
