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!
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.
