    Name: World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

    Raw Link: n4344dy on Syosetu

    NU Link: Doesn't yet exist, so far as I could see.

    Why It Should Get Picked Up: The manga (search for the name on MangaDex) seems interesting. I'd like to read it as a light novel.

    Description:
    A heavily overworked businessman takes a nap on a bus headed to a corporate retreat. He awakens in a fantastic labyrinth city, immediately being informed that he has been reincarnated after dying in a bus accident and must work as a dungeon seeker.

    Confused, the former businessman heads to the registration point to get his job, only to be hit with two huge and horrible surprises: The first is that his pushy boss lady who had worked him to the point of collapse in his former life has also reincarnated here. The second his job received from registration is unknown and unreadable—no one will party with him and will treat him like an invalid if they find out this secret!

    He is forced to hire a sub-human mercenary to party with him, and things will only get worse from there as he is forced to confront the deadly nature of his new, reincarnated, occupation.



    P.S. — Sorry for the lack of links. Apparently, I haven't posted enough without them to be allowed to include links in this post...

    A little cliche, but it does seem to have several less used troupes so it could be a refreshing read.

    @Lil K.O - The manga posting on MangaDex has a harem genre tag, so I would say yes, it is a harem.

    @yotae - Yes, that one. Thanks for posting the link I couldn't. :}

    I just read the manga on mangadex and immediately checked NU to see if it was on here yet. It looks interesting for now, but I can see this being really stereotypical if not handled properly. I mean... I already saw like 4 different chicks in one chapter... so maybe its a harem?

    Saw this in mangadex but haven't read it. Guess I will try.
    Well, not bad, typical Isekai Harem, just the whole "MC is different from other people so he isn't accepted"- cliched though.
    If anyone that read "isekai" manga/novel, then usually, not all case, then those different might actually be Broken-in disguise. Always look for the "different" rather than the "general".

    I don't mind stereotypical if the story or characters are fun enough. Then again, I wouldn't be the one translating this. I thought that I would put it out there in case it might catch someone's eye to work on.

    4 chicks? It is kind of unfair if you count the Mercenary boss and the Guild receptionist. There was almost nothing on them so it is pretty clear that they are just support characters.
    The only actual heroines so far is the lizard girl and the main heroine, the Valkyrie / former boss.

    Ah, I counted the two chicks in front of the guild when the MC was approaching the guild thing. They seemed too cute and in great enough detail that I thought they will likely appear again. Seems fun to read for now tho

    Seems interesting, I have no experience in translation but my english is pretty good. It's machine translated but I roughly know what they're saying. Give it a read? (PS, I'm a new member and I can't post links apparently, had to bypass that)

    Prologue and Chapter 1 is out! I've noticed there was a little difference between the manga and the novel. The protagonist seems to be more level-headed than he looks in the manga.

    In the manga the MC is kind hearted, naif, hard working. According to loli-o-mamoritai, it has game elements and is harem.

    I don't know if you added links to novelupdates [sinny]. But I did. So it should have your website name and stuff on there. at least in 24 hours. :)

    I didn't really add any tags or Genre, because idk what to put there. Too early to tell and I don't feel like reading through the raws.
