Plot

High school student Asahi Ikusaba, an RPG otaku who has always dreamed of adventuring in another world, gets his wish when he is rendered comatose after getting hit by a car while saving a child. Finding himself in a fantasy world, he pursues his desire to become an adventurer. However, he is outmatched by high-level monsters he stumbles across on his very first quest. Suddenly, his overprotective older sister Maya appears and saves his life. Partnering up with him, the two begin to make their way in this new world, even though Asahi comes to fear his sister's overbearing affection for him more than the various dangers this world has to offer.

Characters

Super Asahi Legion

Asahi Ikusaba (軍場 朝陽, Ikusaba Asahi)

Voiced by: Yuki Sakakihara

A high school student whose consciousness was displaced into another world after getting hit by a runaway car. Soon after his arrival, he tried to establish himself as an adventurer, only to find that he has neither a super-high level nor any superpowers. When Maya follows him into the other world, he finds himself overwhelmed by both her paradoxically superior abilities and her smothering affection for him. Despite Maya doing all the work, Asahi ends up being hailed as the hero.

Maya Ikusaba (軍場 真夜, Ikusaba Maya)

Voiced by: Haruka Shiraishi

Asahi's tomboyish older sister who has an obsessive brother complex, which oftentimes drifts off into a more sexual theme. After her brother's accident, she knocked her head against a wall, lost consciousness, and found herself in the same other world as him. Upon her arrival, her desire to protect Asahi bestowed her with tremendous physical and magical cheat abilities, and she makes herself his silent adventuring partner, who keeps her abilities secret from the public eye. She easily takes this arrangement and Asahi's resulting fame in stride, as her only concern in life is to keep him safe.

Kilmaria (キルマリア, Kirumaria)

Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu

A powerful general of the army of the Demon King. She thrives on a challenge for her abilities, but usually finds herself too powerful for most opponents. After encountering Asahi by chance—and trying to destroy him on the basis of his growing heroic reputation—she meets her match in the overprotective Maya.

Sophie (ソフィ, Sofi)

Voiced by: Azumi Waki

Gloria Brigandine (グローリア・ブリガンダイン, Gurōria Burigandain)

A clerk of the adventuring guild in the city/town of Epiphoneia in the kingdom of Caesarion, the domain Asahi and Maya end up in. She quickly becomes Asahi's greatest fan after "his" first adventuring successes.

In an alternate world, Asahi recalls in his previous life he was hit by a car and reincarnated. After he joined the adventurer guild he encountered a Wyvern on a quest and discovered his stats are all level one, and his one skill is Stone Throwing. Maya abruptly appears and kills the Wyvern with one overpowered hit. Maya, who possesses a brother-complex for him, explained Asahi is actually in a coma back in Japan, so she hit herself on the head many times and has now joined him, but has no way to get back to their world and are trapped. Asahi realizes only she possesses max level stats and dozens of skills. Free of Japan’s taboo against incest, Maya now spends her days trying to seduce him, but her victories against monsters while protecting him are frequently mistaken for Asahi’s victories. As a result, Asahi is promoted to Ogre rank despite being possibly the weakest human alive and is forced to maintain the lie since falsifying an official rank is punishable by execution. During a parade for Siegfried the strongest living adventurer, a drunk ex adventurer causes trouble and the crowd urges Asahi to defeat him, which he does with secret help from Maya, who demands a kiss as her payment.

She then reveals she has sought out Asahi to fight him to the death, believing he might be the next hero. Asahi flees, leaving her confused why he won’t fight her. Maya arrives and mistakenly deduces Kilmaria is a temptress seeking to steal Asahi’s virginity.

Asahi reaches level 10 and unlocks the skill Escape in order to avoid Maya’s attempts to grope him. This proves pointless as he can only use it once a day and is easily caught by her second groping attempt. Asahi considers finding other people to form an official party and, while speaking with guild secretary Tanya, learns of Siegfried’s recent defeat. Asahi intervenes with thugs harassing a drunk, but when the drunk defeats the thugs Asahi realises it is Siegfried, having lost his confidence and disbanding his party. He also reveals his party members actually have pretty rotten personalities and advises Asahi to avoid forming his own party. Tanya sends Asahi on an emergency quest to slay wyverns, so quickly he has no chance to bring Maya and ends up facing them alone. Fortunately he is saved by Kilmaria, followed closely by Maya. Insulted by Maya ignoring her, Kilmaria kidnaps Asahi to force Maya to agree to a rematch. In the confusion Asahi is grabbed by a wyvern and they work together to save him.

Fearing for the rest of the world if Maya’s power is used for evil Asahi fearfully decides he must kill her or die trying. Luckily, Kilmaria appears, but since Asahi forbids her from damaging the house by fighting she challenges the ghost to arm wrestling instead. Kilmaria loses, so Asahi resorts to yelling for Maya to return as he misses her. Maya expels the ghost, purifies it and forces it to pass on. She then gropes Asahi gleefully, revealing she was never possessed, she just wanted to hear him say something loving to her, which he did. They report their success and are granted ownership of the house.

Stelopeth’s brother Brondeth arrives for revenge but is also killed, as are the golems caught in the explosion, so when Asahi hits his head again he returns to normal permanently. The next day Asahi encounters Tanya with her little brother Roy who wants to be an adventurer and is a fan of Asahi. Tanya requires a guard to the next town and drags Asahi along, who panics due to Maya’s absence. On the road a wyvern attacks so Asahi is forced to defend them and throws a stone in its mouth just as it breathes fire, luckily causing the wyvern to explode, surprising him and earning admiration from Tanya and Roy.

Following an argument with her father, Gloria enlists Kuon and Asahi’s assistance in moving out of her father's mansion into her father's villa (for nobles this counts as running away). Butler Sebastien, convinced Asahi is to blame, hires Dragon level adventurer Tigga to beat up Asahi, but they are scared away by Maya. Gloria suggests forming a clan, a collection of small parties into one large group. Kuon points out Gloria’s sheltered upbringing has left her with no real friends. Asahi points out Kuon counts as a friend, causing Kuon to develop a crush on him as well. Maya agrees they should form a clan to give Asahi a broader social life. On their next mission, Asahi is turned to stone by a basilisk. Unbeknownst to the girls, Asahi is fully conscious. This means he feels everything when Maya gropes him and sees absolutely everything when the girls, for some reason, take him into the bath with them. Kilmaria returns home just as Maya is about to kiss him and cures his petrification in time.

Asahi is attacked by tentacles rising from the ground and determines a slime, bloated from the rain, has grown large enough to cover the entire town. Tanya identifies it as a Great Slime Flood, a rare slime that only attacks when commanded by a powerful master. Asahi focuses on evacuation assisted by Siegfried and his former party. Many adventurers decide to just leave but are brow beaten into staying by Sophie’s temper. Maya and Kilmaria locate Guriligula the Witch of Control, who sent the slime to disrupt the adventurer’s defences. Guriligula assumes Kilmaria is there to assist her and attacks Maya, only to be blown away by attacks from Kilmaria, then a bigger attack from Maya. Kuon locates the slimes core, which protects itself atop a tentacle 50 yards high. Gloria throws Asahi into the air and he destroys the core with his improved stone throwing. Asahi is hailed a hero, though it is revealed Maya secretly weakened the slime first by draining its water into the sinkhole made when the unconscious Guriligula hit the ground. Asahi is promoted to Golem class. The girls decide he deserves a kiss as a reward, but argue over which one gets to kiss him. Asahi refuses their reward and runs off outside, where he talks with Maya and thanks her for being there for him. The girls tell Asahi that Gloria is crying for refusing to kiss her and scold him for it. As he gets irritated by this, Asahi is just happy he gets to keep adventuring with his sister and friends.
