A Salaryman Summoned as a Hero to Another World—
Mukouda, transported from modern Japan to another world, receives advice from Carelina's Guild Master to "at least meet the king once." Mukouda reluctantly heads to the capital of the Leonhardt Kingdom, hoping to request help with dismantling the colossal "Leviathan" he defeated. Yet, nothing goes as planned.
From being escorted directly to the royal castle by the King's Guard to mishandling his gifts for the king and dealing with his companions' disruptive behavior during the audience, Mukouda's journey is filled with complications. The Leviathan's dismantling becomes a massive operation requiring reinforcements from across the land. Amid unexpected reunions and new acquaintances, Mukouda's challenges with the Leviathan continue to escalate.
An over-the-top isekai adventure tale with over 1.3 billion views on "Shousetsuka ni Narou," Volume 16 shakes the royal capital!

Extracurricular Activities of Angels 11: Festival of Stars and Earth

Extracurricular Activities of Angels 11: Festival of Stars and Earth


The school festival, where Vantzher and Leticia starred after much hard work, successfully concluded, giving way to the extracurricular activity arts festival.

However, the days were anything but tranquil: Raija was bewildered by an upperclassman repeatedly demanding him to join a stage play for the "mystique" it would bring to the next performance; Lu's Kamihara (!) antics caused a stir, leading to the first overseas performance by Sarnan Dorgan, the Saint of Music from Truruk; and Vantzher’s volunteer efforts drew an unexpected flood of visitors.

Despite the endless stream of problems, life went on.
The trio of Li, Shella, and Lu found themselves appearing in various places, lending their strength, fighting for a bit of fun, and planning musical performances—all while staying busy.

What kind of "extraordinary" daily life awaits these three, plus a few others—Vantzher, Leticia, a troublemaking couple, and their son—enjoying the festival spirit, albeit with a few struggles along the way?
