    Description:

    Kamishiro Kanna was summoned to another world to be a hero, but the one who summoned him was a scheming princess, and when his mana measurement showed 0, he was to be gotten rid of. Together with an half-elf big-boobed silver haired bishoujo he met in the palace’s prison, they escaped on a dragon she summoned.

    The thing Kanna didn’t know was that 3 days after his escape from the palace, the princess did another summoning and summoned 3 high school students who happened to be his close friends.

    Why It Should Get Picked Up:

    Although the basic premise is similar to other Isekai, this series has a certain 'attitude' or 'personality' to it that makes it enjoyable and takes you along for a fun ride.

    The MC and other characters don't follow standard character templates and their behavior, interactions and the story around them feels natural and organic and not formulaic.

    The main character Kanna's got this happy-go-lucky roguish attitude that seems to be inspired(along with his appearance) by Sakata Gintoki from Gintama. He's feels pretty different from the typical Isekai male lead, for example

    - He actually had a good life in Japan, he's got friends and family he cares about and wants to go back to. Finding a way to return is his main goal and his travels and adventures are all related to that.

    - He's only an adventurer because he can make easy money for living expenses and travel around looking for information. He doesn't care about killing demons or monsters or becoming S-rank.

    - He has a normal teenager's libido and doesn't mind sleeping with pretty girls who're interested in him but he's not interested in getting rich, becoming a noble, starting a harem etc. because he doesn't plan on staying in this world.

    - Lastly he gets a 'cheat' ability early on but actually starts out weaker than the average person in that world and is not very strong till late into the story. He usually has to depend on his allies or his wits to overcome opponents and all his victories are hard-won.

    Kanna's 'harem' are also nicely fleshed out. These girls' lives don't revolve around him, they don't suddenly fall for him and then cling to him for the rest of the story. They've got their own goals, jobs and duties that take precedence and their paths only cross his occasionally. Their feelings towards Kanna and vice versa also grow over time from interest to friendship to sexual attraction to love.

    The main story isn't something you care about but the journey and characters are enjoyable to read through.
