Kinji had it made–a swank apartment, a real estate empire, and enough cash to lounge around living the good life. After a freak magical accident, he washes up in another world, all but enslaved to a crooked corporation. In a fantastical land where money is everything, there’s only one way for an Earthling to get ahead: make your fortune, by any means necessary! Dragons, goblins, and the occasional dubious potion won’t stop Kinji’s quest for the world’s biggest bank account. The Black Company is open for business! (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)

Read the full take

Kinji had it made: a swank apartment, a real estate empire and enough cash to lounge around living the good life. That premise is a comic setup for an isekai, and the series builds its humour on a man who has everything it takes to relax suddenly thrown into a dangerous dungeon. The clash between his comfort and the hard work of adventuring is the joke.The strength is the humour. The comic contrast is fun, and the dungeon world gives the story a playful edge. The pace is brisk.The weaknesses are clear. The premise can feel repetitive, and dungeon tropes are familiar. Readers wanting a serious adventure may find it light.Recommended for fans of light, funny isekai with a comic lead. Expect an easy, comic ride.
