Hello everyone! This is Saori from Otaku Republic!

Today, I’d like to introduce you to this popular series in Japan that might get an anime adaptation soon! It's originally a light novel, but with the comic adaptation, it’s reaching even more fans!

【Behind the Legend!】A True Isekai Experience! Save the World Alongside the Hero by Working Behind the Scenes! The Hit Series Reaches Even More Fans in Comic Form! Reincarnated into a Game as the Hero's Friend: Running the Kingdom Behind the Scenes!

Reincarnated into another world as a background character. To avoid the coming catastrophe, the protagonist chooses...... a life in the shadows! Reincarnated into a Game as the Hero's Friend: Running the Kingdom Behind the Scenes has become a hot topic!

So, the manga I'm introducing today is the series Reincarnated into a Game as the Hero's Friend: Running the Kingdom Behind the Scenes, with its 4th volume coming out soon!

To briefly explain the story, the protagonist dies in the modern world and is reincarnated as the son of a noble in an RPG game world. Having played the game before, he knows not only his own fate but also that many lives will be lost in the battle between the Demon Lord and the Hero.

So! To change that fate, he decides what he needs to do is...... thoroughly support the boy who will become the Hero, and alter the history of defeat! This is the story of a young man who chooses to work in the shadows, supporting the protagonist from behind the scenes.

It's a pretty serious storyline! This adds tension and depth, making it an engaging read as a manga or light novel, and has become a hot topic!

Recently, I think isekai series tend to have a lot of comedy elements (just my opinion), but in Reincarnated into a Game as the Hero's Friend: Running the Kingdom Behind the Scenes, those elements are toned down, and it progresses with a much more serious tone, which is a major point of praise!

It's not just grotesque or solely filled with dark storylines, but rather focuses on how to avert the impending doom and solve the issues at hand. Knowing the storyline from the RPG, yet living in that world makes him grow attached to the characters, and that’s a factor that makes this story truly entertaining as a masterpiece!

The storyline is well-constructed, so I have a feeling it might get an anime adaptation someday! The original light novel and the comic adaptation are both still ongoing, so please be sure to check out Reincarnated into a Game as the Hero's Friend: Running the Kingdom Behind the Scenes!
