Handyman Saitou in Another World, Vol. 1

Until recently, he lived an ordinary life. Saitou is a thoroughly unremarkable handyman who can’t help but feel unsatisfied with his lot in life. Sure, doing odd jobs pays the bills—barely—but it comes at the cost of dealing with his ungrateful customers and boss. Dejected and dispirited, he’s starting to wonder what the point of it all is when he finds himself in another world. There, he meets Raelza, a strong and beautiful female warrior with a prickly attitude; Morlock, a dirty old man and a powerful wizard (when he can remember his spells); and Lafanpan, a cute but greedy fairy. Together with his companions, Saitou goes dungeon crawling in search of riches and feels what it’s like to be needed for the first time. After all, who would you trust to open locked treasure chests or repair your equipment more than your local handyman?
