Plot
When a portal from another world appears in Ginza, Tokyo, a legion of soldiers and monsters emerge to attack the city. Thanks to their far more advanced weaponry and tactics, the JSDF easily repels the enemy, passes through the gate and establish a forward base of operations to force the Roman-styled empire of the other world to open peace negotations. Yōji Itami is one of the Japanese officials sent to investigate the other world, where magic, dragons and elves are real, using his knowledge of fantasy stories to make his way in this new environment.
Characters
- Yōji Itami (伊丹 耀司, Itami Yōji)
- Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe
- The protagonist of the series, Itami is a 33 year-old otaku and JSDF soldier, who is promoted to first lieutenant and tasked to investigate the other side of the gate, after sucessfully escorting hundreds of citizens to safety during the attack on Ginza.
- Tuka Luna Marceau (テュカ・ルナ・マルソー, Tuka Runa Marusō)
- Voiced by: Hisako Kanemoto
- An elf more than 150 years old, Tuka is still a teenager thanks to her race's longevity. She loses her father who sacrifices himself to save her when her village is attacked by a dragon and since then travels with Itami and co. However, she has a hard time coping with her father's loss and eventually starts viewing Itami as a replacement for him, much to his chagrin.
- Lelei la Lalena (レレイ・ラ・レレーナ, Rerei Ra Rerēna)
- Voiced by: Nao Tōyama
- A 16 year-old human from the other world with some knowledge in magic, she quickly learns the Japanese language and becomes the translator for Itami's party.
- Rory Mercury (ロゥリィ・マーキュリー, Ruri Mākyurī)
- Voiced by: Risa Taneda
- A warmongering demigoddess who lived for almost a millenia, she still has the form of a young girl, dressed in a gothic lolita fasion and armed with a massive axe. She takes a liking for Itami thus joining his party. Being a physical incarnation for the god of death, she has many superhuman qualities. She stopped ageing once she became a Demigoddess and possesses eternal youth, she claims she can change her physical appearance at will, and she has superhuman strength, swinging around a giant axe, heavy enough that a grown man can't even lift it, like it was a child's toy, and she can regenerate from any wound she takes, even if her limbs were to chopped off, they could regrow if brought close together. Her powers come with certain drawbacks however. She can no longer experience sexual arousal normally, her body acts like a conduit for the souls of the dead to reach the afterlife, which gives her the ability to detect when people close by are dying, this process is also her only way to experience sexual arousal, which can also only be soothed either by sexual intercourse, or by going into battle, killing and destroying.
- Piña Co Lada (ピニャ・コ・ラーダ, Pinya Ko Rāda)
- Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu

Novels
Takumi Yanai, a former member of the JSDF,[2] initially published the work on the user-generated content site Arcadia from April 2006 until June 2009 under the pseudonym Todoku Takusan (とどく＝たくさん). In 2010, AlphaPolis offered him to publish his work in print. The first two webnovel volumes were slightly altered to make them less "poisonous" whereas the final third webnovel volume was rewritten and expanded into three volumes.[3] These five volumes were published from April 12, 2010 to December 22, 2011 with cover illustrations by Daisuke Izuka. Since then, the series has continued with five volumes of side stories as of July 2015. In December 2012, AlphaPolis began a reprint of the series as a light novel, where each novel volume was split into two small-sized light novel volumes in bunkobon format, as well as new cover and inside illustrations by Kurojishi.
Anime
An anime television series adaptation, produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Takahiko Kyōgoku, premiered in Japan on July 3, 2015. The anime is streamed online by Crunchyroll and is licensed by Sentai Filmworks in North America.[4]
