The synopsis is as follows.
Kuzuul is a useless hero from the monster-infested world of 'Konam.' With the help of his strict but reliable companions, Kuzuul has managed to continue defeating monsters, but for some reason, he's now working at a Japanese game company. He's separated from his beloved companions, but there are no demon kings or monsters here. Instead, he finds himself with a mountain of work, blank-eyed colleagues, and a boss who's scarier than the monsters...wait, isn't this more tiring? However, the real hell that awaits Kuzuul is just beginning!
The book includes all 10 episodes of the main story, as well as 3 spin-off episodes. It also includes bonus manga drawn specifically for the comics, the making of character designs, and rough drafts of the cover illustrations that were not used in the main story, all accompanied by commentary.
