I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected! 

So this story’s is about a workaholic salaryman named Kondou who gets transported to a parallel world by mistake. The people in that other world offer to compensate him for his troubles (he’s set for life now), but instead of just settling down into this new easy lifestyle, he asks to be given a job… I thought the premise was silly enough to keep me entertained, and it didn’t disappoint. I especially liked learning about this parallel world through Kondou as he compares it with his world. He takes his job as an accountant very seriously, and that in of itself was comical, given his circumstances. 

The BL aspect is very light on this one, so if you’re mainly interested in that, there’s not much of it in this first volume. But even if it was just a little bit, it was really cute and worth the wait. Can’f wait to see how it develops!
