Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
A second life in another world with cute girls by your side and video gamey powers--sounds like a dream, right? Not so for a certain melancholy author, who would quite literally rather drop dead. Honestly, all the fantastical adventure is just getting in the way of his poetic dream of finding the perfect place to die. But no matter how much he risks his hide, everything seems to keep turning out okay. Will our terminally depressed hero find a new lease on life in this cheerfully bleak isekai comedy?
The Love After World Domination manga duo Noda and Wakamatsu launched the manga on Shogakukan's Yawaraka Spirits website in October 2019. Shogakukan will publish the manga's 11th compiled book volume on June 28.
