Plot[edit]

Shinichi Kanou is a young secluded otaku who is offered a job thanks to his vast knowledge of anime, manga, and video games. However, just after meeting his new employer, he is kidnapped, awakening in an alternate world with a fantasy setup. Shinichi is then informed that he was in fact selected by the Japanese government to help improve his country's relations with this new world by establishing a company to spread the unique products of the Japanese anime culture to this new, unexplored market.

Characters[edit]

Shinichi Kanou (加納 慎一, Kanō Shin'ichi)
Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae, Maaya Uchida (childhood) (Japanese); Tyler Galindo (English)[1]
Shinichi is the protagonist. He is a hardcore high school aged otaku who is true and honest to his interests. Shinichi learned the hardships of being an otaku after confessing to his childhood friend, where she denied him, just because he was an otaku. He was so depressed, that he dropped out of school and became a NEET for a year, before his parents gave him a choice, rejoin society or be disowned. Having little choice, he looked for a job in order to escape the hikikomori lifestyle. He found a fishy job for otaku and took it and as a result he ends up employed in spreading otaku culture for the Holy Eldant Empire. Shinichi has romantic feeling for Myucel and confesses to her at the end of the series.
Myucel Foaran (ミュセル・フォアラン, Myuseru Foaran)
Voiced by: Suzuko Mimori (Japanese); Juliet Simmons (English)[1]
Myucel is a half-elf who is Shinichi's maid in the Holy Eldant Empire. Due to her half-elf nature, she is disdained by both elves and humans as half-breeds like her are looked down upon. For that reason, Myucel often hides her elf ears. Having no discrimination at her origins, she then began showing them whilst in the mansion when Shinichi found out about her heritage and praised Myucel for it, calling them attractive instead of ridiculing her. Shinichi quickly befriends Myucel and starts teaching her the Japanese language. Myucel often thinks of herself as a lowly servant and often talks down about her self. However, Shinichi did not see Myucel for her class and treated her as an equal. In response to his kindness, Myucel eventually falls in love with him and becomes his most trusted supporter. Myucel is a powerful mage who was trained in the military of the Holy Eldant Empire. She officially becomes his girlfriend/love interest after he confesses to her at the end of the series.
Petralka Anne Eldant III (ペトラルカ・アン・エルダント三世, Petoraruka An Erudanto Sansei)
Voiced by: Mai Fuchigami (Japanese); Kira Vincent-Davis (English)[1]
Petralka is sixteen years old despite her childlike appearance and is the monarch of the Holy Eldant Empire. She takes an interest in Shinichi after seeing how casually he speaks with her and after learning about otaku culture. Petralka starts visiting him on a regular basis to have him read manga for her which in turn causes her to develop deep feelings for him. Petralka usually complains at Myucel out of jealousy due to her closeness with Shinichi and how well she learned to speak and write in Japanese. Not wanting to fall behind a "lowly peasant", she asks him to teach her the Japanese language as well. Petralka usually demands attention from Shinichi, and only him. She tends to give Shinichi a leery look whenever he fawns over girls who are obviously much better endowed than she is and often assumes any request he asks of her must stem from a sexual motive.
Minori Koganuma (古賀沼 美埜里, Koganuma Minori)
Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Japanese); Genevieve Simmons (English)[1]
Minori is a well-endowed female member of the Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF). She is another one of the ambassadors from Japan, assigned to serve as both a bodyguard and an advisor for Shinichi. She is part of the Japan Ground Self Defense Eastern Regiment First Engineering Group, ranked as first class there. She is assigned to help Shinichi with his task of spreading the otaku culture in the Holy Eldant Empire. Minori is also an otaku but unlike him, she is a fujoshi specialized in boys' love (BL) merchandise and usually fantasizes about Shinichi with Galius becoming a couple. For the sake of being recognized by her own father, she started training early in her childhood, attributing to her impressive battle prowess. This is also one of the reasons why she entered the JSDF. Minori is an accomplished fighter and is capable of defeating a group of armed vigilantes without the need of a weapon.
Elbia Hanaiman (エルビア・ハーナイマン, Erubia Hānaiman)
Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka (Japanese); Sara Ornelas (English)[1]
Elbia is a werewolf who has large dog ears and a large chest. She was initially recruited by the neighboring Bahairam Kingdom to spy on the Holy Eldant Empire. She apologizes a lot more due to the fact that she constantly falls victim to her natural animalistic tendencies and causing trouble than any other reason. Elbia is a great artist and is able to sketch large-scaled castles and structures with ease. Elbia develops a crush on Shinichi after she is saved by him when she was captured and about to be executed. She is later entrusted as Shinichi's personal artist. During the full moon, Elbia has a tendency to forget herself and act much more doglike, like jumping on Shinichi and licking his face when she's happy or chasing a ball on all fours while barking. Elbia once attacked Shinichi at night while she was in heat because of it. She has a tendency to glomp Shinichi whenever he makes a statement about not minding her race.
Jinzaburou Matoba (的場 甚三郎, Matoba Jinzaburō)
Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara (Japanese); Andy McAvin (English)[1]
Matoba is a man from the Japanese government who hires Shinichi to the task of spreading the Japanese culture in the Holy Eldant Empire. However, he only reveals him the true nature of his mission after having him drugged and taken away from Earth.
Galius En Cordbal (ガリウス・エン・コルドバル, Gariusu En Korudobaru)
Voiced by: Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese); Chris Patton (English)[1]
Galius is Petralka's cousin, a knight and the captain of her guard. He is initially incredulous and dismissive of Shinichi's mission at first, but later warms up to him and comes around to enjoying it. His and Petralka's parents fought for the throne which ended with their mutual deaths, leaving Petralka to become a ruler despite being a child. Thanks to Minori's influence, Galius becomes interested in BL manga and developed interest in Shinichi.

When the school finally opens, Petralka completes two kanji workbooks in an effort to impress Shinichi, but she becomes envious when he focuses more on Myucel's progress. Alessio, leader of the Patriotic Knights, suddenly captures Shinichi, Myucel, Minori and Petralka. They learn that the Patriotic Knights obtained an orb called the Exterminating Flame, which is capable of destroying the school.

Minori is the director, while Petralka agrees to be cast as a magical girl. Guided by elf woman Luna to a dragon's lair, Minori agitates a red dragon by spraying on antiperspirant. Loic and Romilda are tasked with film editing after more scenes are filmed. As the last battle scene is being shot on location, the red dragon is agitated again by Minori's antiperspirant and wreaks havoc. The Eldant soldiers watch in horror as the JSDF soldiers chase away the red dragon with their artillery. Petralka kisses Shinichi on the cheek as gratitude for her leading role. During a test screening of the fantasy film, Petralka is embarrassed that her scenes turned out as bloopers. The fantasy film ends up being shelved due to plagiarism.

Matoba informs Shinichi that the secret of the Holy Eldant Empire remains to be preserved. Shinichi notices that Elbia has changed the art style in her sketches, while elf student Edward Theodore Pertini has translated several light novels. Shinichi realizes that there is a shortage of otaku culture materials, which had led to various arguments among the elf and dwarf students. It is revealed that Matoba truly intended to stage an invasion based on otaku culture instead of military force. Minori explains that the Holy Eldant Empire is an unexplored territory for the JSDF. As Shinichi feels guilty for spreading otaku culture, Minori warns him what the government is capable of doing to a potential whistleblower. Matoba later informs Minori that Shinichi might need to be replaced. At night, Myucel makes several plates of omurice for Shinichi. After thanking him for influencing her life with otaku culture, she begs him to stay with her. The next day, Shinichi proposes an idea to Petralka of having otaku culture materials produced in the Holy Eldant Empire, which means that they will no longer need to rely on the JSDF. However, Matoba does not look so pleased by this.

After Petralka's personal maids manage to thwart the JSDF soldiers from ambushing Shinichi for his act of defiance, Matoba deeply apologizes to Petralka for the incident in deception. Myucel later looks out the window and sees smoke rising in the direction of the school, of which someone has committed arson by activating the Exterminating Flame. As Shinichi rushes to the school library, he is sedated with chloroform by two JSDF soldiers. Myucel, Elbia and Brooke arrive at the school to initiate a mission to rescue Shinichi. Defying Matoba's orders, Minori also arrives to assist the others. When Shinichi awakens, Matoba tells the others that the Holy Eldant Empire might sever diplomatic relations with Japan. On a video call, a politician threatens to extract Shinichi from the Holy Eldant Empire. With Petralka listening in on the conversation, she threatens to sever diplomatic relations with Japan in retaliation. At the castle, Matoba tells Shinichi that he can continue spreading otaku culture in the Holy Eldant Empire, but only with budget cuts. When the school reopens, Shinichi resumes teaching the elf and dwarf students.
