Synopsis Headhunted to Another World

We follow the unexpected adventures of Uchimura Denosuke, a typical Japanese salaryman, whose life is turned upside down unexpectedly.

An ordinary employee looking to move up the corporate ladder, his reality takes a drastic turn when he is suddenly summoned into a terrifying fantasy world by the Demon King himself. Rather than devour him or throw him into the battle arenas, the Demon Kingoffers him an extraordinary job: to become one of his Four Heavenly Kings, with all the perks that entails.

Devoid of muscles or magical powers, Uchimura must rely on his office skills and salaryman trick to navigate this new role. Will his experience in endless meetings and managing deadlines be enough to lead part of the demonic army and survive the political plots and epic battles of this strange world?
