The story is about a high school student, Oda Akira, who is summoned to another world with his classmates. Because he has a low presence, he should have gained the powers of an ordinary assassin, but his status value easily exceeds that of a hero, the most muscular profession.
After being falsely accused, Oda Akira takes refuge in the depths of a labyrinth, where he meets a beautiful elf girl named Amelia and becomes a true assassin. The series has also been adapted into a comic book, and the total number of copies published has exceeded 1.5 million.
Otsuka, who plays Oda Akira, commented, “At first, I thought this work would have pop content based on the title, but it was more than that. If you watch the first episode, I’m sure you’ll be excited to see how it unfolds.
The anime is also wonderfully structured, so I hope that both those familiar with the original work and the comic adaptation and those experiencing it for the first time will look forward to the broadcast. Everyone, please support ‘Stage Tsuyo’!
