When snarky loner Haruka and his class are whisked away to another world, he’s not much of an adventurer, but he wouldn’t mind a bit of cool magic. Unfortunately, magic powers are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and by the time it’s Haruka’s turn, there’s nothing good left. Now he must face this fantasy world the hard way, with a hodgepodge of bizarre abilities… and with all the girls in the class in tow!
