Dallas Reid is directing the English dub. James Baker is the lead ADR engineer, and Xavier Woods is the ADR engineer. Jessica Sluys is writing the English script with Bonny Clinkenbeard as supervisor. William Dewell is the mix engineer.
The anime premiered on July 9. Funimation is streaming the anime as it airs in Japan.
Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Kinji, who lacks any kind of work ethic, is a layabout in his modern life. One day, he finds himself transported to another world–but not in a grand fantasy of a hero welcomed with open arms. He's immediately shoved into a terrible job! Now enslaved by an evil mining company in a fantasy world, Kinji's about to really learn the meaning of hard work!
Mirai Minato (Masamune-kun's Revenge, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya) is directing the anime at SILVER LINK., and Deko Akao (Snow White with the Red Hair, Noragami, Flying Witch) is overseeing the series scripts. Yuki Sawairi (Masamune-kun's Revenge, Wise Man's Grandchild) is designing the characters, and Taku Inoue is composing the music at Toy's Factory. HOWL BE QUIET will perform the show's opening theme song "Shimi" (Stain). Humbreaders' is performing the ending theme song "World is Mine."
Yasumura launched the manga on Mag Garden's Mag Comi website in December 2016. The manga entered its climax with its 30th chapter in June 2020, but Yasumura later confirmed that the manga was not yet ending.
