Imagine living a second life in a new world, surrounded by charming companions and armed with video game-like abilities. Sounds ideal, right? Not for a certain disheartened writer, who would actually prefer to meet his end.

For him, the fantastical escapades are nothing but a distraction from his somber quest to find the perfect place to die. Despite his relentless pursuit of this dark goal, things always seem to work out in an unexpectedly positive way.

Will this perpetually downcast protagonist discover a fresh sense of purpose in this whimsically grim isekai comedy?

This story draws inspiration from Osamu Dazai’s renowned work Ningen Shikkaku (No Longer Human/Disqualified from Being Human).
