#isekai no sata wa shachiku shidai

[murasaki-cha]

So I started reading The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter/Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Shidai (BL isekai story)

And literally Aresh is the most pathetic poor man in this entire story. Like the stress levels Kondou gives him. They're literally unstoppable force meets immovable object

But humor aside I love how the story portrays the horrible mindset and work culture in japan and all around the world honestly. To think you have to work yourself to death to feel like you have a purpose to live is horrible and Aresh feeling straight up disturbed and disgusted with Kondou's thoughts influenced by his experiences of being a working adult in a capitalistic world was exactly how one should react.

And also it shows deep roted classism in a monarchy government with how higher ups have much more freedom and due to it most times ignore or pass on work and problems to subordinates and become unaware of the state of things due to their privileges.

Literally this manga is so great and if possible I would love to read the novel too!

The Affairs Of The Other World Depend On The Corporate Slave / Isekai No Sata Wa Shachiku Shidai

I finally give this manga a go and holy shit, it's amazing. I feel bad that I kept avoifing it for so long! Glasses-kun is Seiichiro, a 30yo corporate slave guy, who was summoned by accident together with the Saintess.

He is your typical workaholic Japanese man. (Japanese work culture is seriously something else. If you can die from overwork it's BAD).

This guy is such a workaholic that everybody is horrified.

Anyway, the entire manga is hilarious, but is also a great commentary on the toxic work culture in Japan and how harmful it can be to you.

(A BUTT GUARDIAN). [I work office job too, those are NEEDED!]

However, I dunno if his butt hurts from emergency sex he got from a handsome man, or from sitting to much at his palace / office job.

Yes, you heard that right, emergency sex treatment.

Because if you never had magic used on you and you are from our world you can develop magic sickness. (That is also a very excellent idea, that is basically NEVER touched upon in isekai stories - i.e. how the bodies of people from non-magical world would react to magic).

And because you are not a little baby infant that can be accustomed to magic by their mom's cuddling you need more hands on approach.

But no worries, the guy who treated him asked for consent first!

It's actually hella hilarious how unphased Seiichiro is that he had sex with a young man in order to survive. I mean he wasn't conscious for most of it, even though he gave consent, but you know. That guys is literally so focused on work that he didn't even have a typical scene of "what have I done". Like seriously. None. He just slept with an ikemen to get better and went to work just like that. Just average tuesday lol.

The entire manga also skipped the whole "I'm too dense to notice his feelings". So Seiichiro (an older and possibly more experienced man) is WELL aware that the man who saved him with sex had fallen for him.

HE IS JUST SO FOCUSED ON WORK HE HAS NO TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HE FEELS FOR HIM! SO HE KEEPS PUTTING IT OFF! AND JUST TAKES ALL THE KISSES AND TOUCHING AND SHIT. KNOWING VERY WELL THAT YOUNG MAN IS IN LOVE WITH HIM, AND THAT YOUNG MAN EVEN CONFESSING IT TO HIM.

Seiichiro, that man is a fucking catch, you better think about your feelings for him quickly and tell him you like him too, idiot!

Also Seiichiro is such a damsel in distress. Thanks to lack of magicule resistance he can collapse at moments notice. Which creates all the drama situations in regard to his health, because he just CAN'T TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF. That young man has to literally micromanage his life to keep Seiichiro HEALTHY. Anyway, I love when male character can just faint at moments notice and his boyfriend gets all worried. Sue me. I like it when a man is a damsel and his boy comes running.

And the most hilarious thing is that the entire setting is the exact same as The Saint's Power is Omnipotent, that is a heterosexual isekai romance fantasy story. This is exactly the same premise, but Seiichiro is not a Saint. But it's GAY. Like seriously I'm not kidding you all!

Those two could literally coexist in the same universe.

Protagonist that was tag-along extra: check

Heroine that is the Saintess: check

Protagonist is named Sei: check

Protagonist immediately goes to find a job: check

Captain of 3rd Order of Knights has a crush on protag: check

3rd Order of Knights is tasked with battling miasma: check

Protagonist has a funny sidekick at their job office: check

Protagonist is constantly in danger: check

Protagonist saves the day with their amazing talents: check

The only differences are that Seiichiro is not the Saint, and even tho Sei (woman) was also a corporate slave, she very quickly has shaken off the corporate japanese culture of work and did what she wanted (ah, I feel you Sei, I also would just be happy I'm off). She still works her butt of on those potions but she is not overworking herself.

And also Seiichiro is far more mouthy than Sei, and he is not afraid to "rock the boat" so to speak, because he only cares about good results. He just refuses to be polite to people who obstruct his work. I love it.

[image ID: the first image is of Xuanli, a man with long black hair, pointed ears, and purple eyes. he wears a small gold hoop earring, a red necklace, and black and white robes. he's eating something out of a bowl. a little yellow bird is sitting on his head, pecking him. the second image is of Kondou Seiichirou, a young man with short dark hair and glasses, wearing a suit and tie. end ID]

Xuanli

HE IS THE MOMENT HE IS THAT BITCH!!! hes fun and lovely and the sweetest boy out there!! he doesnt know how to read and has the tendency to just. Get bitten by random animals. His nickname is gou-ge(狗哥) by Li Qingning which means Dog brother!! He also can manipulate fire and is really powerful!!!

Kondou Seiichirou

hes literally some tired office worker guy who ends up in another world cuz he tried to save a highschool girl from being sucked into a portal. the girl was apparently the hero of the other world who'd save them from a plague and hes like shes just a kid? thats fucked up. anyways he asks for a job cuz he doesnt know what to do with himself when theres no work cuz hes got no life no hobbys no bitches. he ends up working in the kingdom's accounting department and whipped everything up into shape there while also checking in on the other kid cuz he feels responsible as an Adult. oh also this is a BL. a yaoi if you will. this man has gay sex. take that as you will because he certainly took it. [additional propaganda 1]

[gay-in-the-store]

Kondou: I don't want to date people younger than me

Indolark:

[incorrect-bl-quotes123]

Kondou: So that’s my plan. Indolark: Are you alright with constructive criticism? I don’t want to sound mean. Kondou: No, go ahead, I want to hear it. Indolark: It fucking sucks. Kondou: That’s not constructive criticism.

[mushroomery]

I started reading The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter / Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Shidai a few days ago. I'm so glad I have these few days off because I've lost so much sleep catching up to this series, I'm OBSESSED!!!! I caught up to the manga and now reading the novel vol 1. I usually am not a re-reader, and i normally don't read BL novels (i usually just stick to manga) but this series has me in an absolute choke hold. Super glad I picked up the novels too, reading them hits a little different and I really appreciate the extra details that I didn't catch in the manga.

My favorite thing about reading the novel on Kindle is seeing the popular highlights 🤭

[murasaki-cha]

LMAO HE'S LITERALLY SO POUTY BECAUSE HE'S YOUNGER AND KONDOU SAID HE'S NOT INTO YOUNGER PEOPLE HE'S SO PATHETICLY CUTE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[accio-victuuri]

it’s been a while since i’ve shared my recent reads! so here’s what i have picked up in the past months. felt inspired cause i’m really enjoying the story i’m reading now, w/c i initially picked up as a manhwa but i’m impatient so i switched to the novel. it’s called the hunter is gonna lay low or the hunter wants to live quietly. it’s such a gem! cause it starts of pretty simple and funny then the author manages to put in the plot and well, it’s plotting. lol.

if you like systems/dungeons, cast of characters, time travel, mystery and the most delicious slow burn then this is for you. i hope this gets animated at some point cause it’s so good! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 this is the only novel on the list so it’s pretty special that the story led me to WANT to read the source.

i’m literally listing what i’ve read so yeah. and pretty much a v short reaction to it cause there is a lot (53). it’s a mix of ongoing and completed works at the time of writing and when i read it so i’ll mark that too.

1. Sweetie, Sweetie, Sweetie - this title is so misleading cause you would think it’s a modern story full of sweetness when it’s not. this deals with kingdoms/royalty, superpowers — and isekai.

2. How my Daddies Became mates (completed) - first foray into mangas because i most prefer manhwa/manhuas — i know, sacrilege. but yeah, it’s a cute story of two dad telling their kid how they met and fell in love. It’s so wholesome! a short read when you feel tired of all the toxic bl stories. 😂😂😂

3. Unintentional Love Story (completed) - pick this up! it’s so good! slice of life kind of vibe and falling in love in a small town.

4. Someone like You (completed) - this was something i started before and went back in now that it’s completed.

5. Isekai no Sata Wa shachiku shidai - i don’t really go for Mangas but this one pulled me in! I love myself some isekai plot. it’s just sad that no one has updated the translation for so long so that may put some people off in picking this up.

6. Bend over Backwards (completed) - corporate slave x international model. if you like this kind of dynamic then go ahead. Only 40 chapters plus a bunch of side stories so this kind of thing is a good choice.

7. Dinner with a Vampire - pretty obvs with the title.

8. Mister Wonderful teases me

9. Romance but not Romantic - omegaverse! the kind where the omega needs the alpha but initially hated him.

10. Be, Be. - omegaverse with modern royalty!

11. Smoky Nectar 1 - a short read that continues to a part 2 and it’s good ✌🏼

12. Smoky Nectar 2

13. Reincarnated to Devil King Evelogia’s World - this is so uniquely unhinged that it became. endearing. No. I swear. I haven’t read anything like it. I love it tho. Maybe some people will find it over the top but it’s now one of my personal faves.

there’s an animated version of it if you wanna start with that just to see how cute they are lol.

14. Bullying the Dog - an MC who didn’t get much love then he meets the ML who shows him what it’s like. it’s so somft.

15. Bittersweet Martini (completed) - i’m gonna cheat here and copy/paste the first comment on this story cause i think it perfectly describes the story: “If you're looking for a casual pleasure read with a green flag story with heavy flirting, which leads to a lot of blushing but also deals with a more serious topic towards the middle, without leaning too much into the drama, then look no further.”

16. Over the Paradise - guideverse with zombies!

17. Hero vs Villain - what happens when the supposed hero and villain become friends and fall in love? this was so nice!

18. Night of London - vampire and werewolf pairing! come on! Let’s gooooo! 🙌🏼

19. Kill my love - omegaverse and assassins!

20. Turning - Another work that i would most likely pick up the novel version cause it’s that good! Regression theme! ❣️plus the setting is they are in a kingdom where people have powers.

21. The Moon is coming to me - I have already talked bout this before and it’s one of my absolute faves! I didn’t know the Manhua was released! So i was so happy to enjoy it in that form. The translation for this is very close to the end so pick it up!

22. Cozy Obsession - transmigration where the MC knows how the story goes so he is trying his best to change the ending.

23. Summertime (completed) - one of my favorites! love it when friends become lovers and some may say the ML here is manipulative but i wanna say in a good way. lol. anyway, it’s classic, atleast from the MC’s side that you’ve known this person some time and that summertime everything has changed.

24. My way with you (completed) - gonna cheat again with this one by pasting here what someone commented: “LISTEN UP GUYS this one has everything: healthy happy relationship, supportive friends, trauma and healing, mysterious past connections, beautiful men, hot af smut, 100% consent, cutest lovey dovey couple, NO drama, NO “misunderstandings”, NO second ml, NO annoying interfering side characters. You will cry, but because it’s just so good.” 💯

25. Netkama Punch - i haven’t finished and progressed much as i would like tho i know a lot of people have this as their favorite! I will get back to it! The premise of hidden identity and online gaming is one of my fave so i will surely pick this up again.

26. Through the Years - i haven’t finished this yet but it’s a lot of people’s fave

27. Fools (completed) - disillusioned guy meets excitable puppy 🤍

28. Moonquake (completed) - a very unique concept. people on earth have powers and then some of them decided to rebel and live in the Moon. Our MC is one of the best ones on earth and is supposed to bring down the leader of the rebellion. but you all know what happens, they fall in love! AHHHHH! and i have to say the art in this too is exceptional.

29. Men’s wear store and the Royal Princess (completed) - this may be weird for some or slow / not enough action lol. i enjoyed it tho! the MC cross dresses and finds someone who loves and accepts him!

30. Ex Hot Neighbor (completed) - a story that centers around a misunderstanding! MC thinks he can’t date the neighbor cause he’s his friend’s ex. but nope!

31. Forest Sea (completed) - A good and solid fantasy story. Please give it a try! The whole birds vs snakes thing was kinda weird at first but the author made it work.

32. When you were asleep - this hasn’t been updated in a while and it’s so sad because the art is topnotch! the plot is good too, especially the dreamscapes but there’s still a lot to discover cause we wanna know what happened in the past. Why is MC even having these dreams and all that.

33. Beum & Go’s Unholy…. - still ongoing and read few chapters

34. Spring, the color of love (completed) - what a wonderful story. Oftentimes, as a reader, you have that sense of boundary with the narrator. But this one — you can feel and understand what the MC is thinking and going through. even tho i haven’t experienced what he did, i can totally get it. this is one of those tropes where they fall in love during their school years and some misunderstanding happens, they meet again years later and try again. something i would love to re-read even if there are parts of it that hurt. and it’s just proof that if something is meant to be, it will come back to you.

35. Keep Holding On (completed) - a short and sweet read with friends to lovers trope!

36. Wolf in the House (completed) - i am so late with this cause i feel like every list has this story as one of the best. I have to agree! it’s so good! tho i have to say i’m more attached to the second pairing. this one is a perfect mix of fantasy, action, comedy and romance. A solid recommendation!

37. Touch within the Abyss (completed) - AAAAAHHHHHH! a hitman x blind cinnamon roll! read it now! please! it’s so sweet! their love and care for each other is so pure 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

38. 99% in love season 1 (completed) - from bestfriends to lovers in the cutest way! they start fake dating and it leads to more obvs.

39. 99% in love season 2 - their college life and this one has smut scenes!

40. Alpha Trauma ( novel ongoing ) - if you know Omega Complex then you might be aware that this is a sequel of sorts but follows the second lead’s love story if you may. Everyone loves Dohyun so i’m one of those happy readers who is happy that he gets his own story, tho the POV in this is not his but his Omega. If you like ABO and campus setting then this may be for you.

41. Soul Sealer’s school life - The MC is the soul sealer who has to do good deeds to prolong his life, then he meets the ML who has a strong spirit in him. It’s a perfect blend of fantasy, comedy and not so much romance as of the moment. The art is 💯 and i really like to see where this goes!

42. Guidance with Benefits - still ongoing and read few chapters

43. Chiguha Kuna Kisu (completed) - if you like a short read that will make you have overall good vibes then this is it. school setting, two cute boys, a fortunate miscommunication and starting a relationship. it’s so good and made me want to look for more mangas! 🤍

44. Spicy Milk Candy - yandere but in a good way. that’s all i’m gonna say.

45. Ruby Red wo Kamikudaku (completed) - i’m just gonna add the summary below but it’s truly a unique read!

Akane is an Omega who can see people's pheromones as multicolored "crystals”. During his school days, when he was lonely because of his peculiar constitution, he meets Makise, a school nurse teacher. 5 years later, they are miraculously reunited, but Makise has a secret

46. Yume Nara Doko Made Yurusaremasuka (completed) - corporate slave x young policeman. 6 chapters of sweetness!

47. Sparkling Baby (completed) - this is supposedly a sequel for the second lead, but i haven’t read the first story. I just love how the MC/ML first met and then made a mark on each other as strangers — but it wasn’t there time yet. and so they meet again later and navigate their lives together. What attracted me to this story is how the MC changed because of love. For years, he had this sense of what he think is love and looking back, maybe it didn’t work out because love isn’t supposed to be like that. What he found with the ML is real and why it feels different.

48. Ashita kimi no mono ni shite (completed) - this so wholesome! school setting and friends to lovers. quiet boy x cool guy

49. Koibitu Keiyaku chu ni suki (completed) - friends to lovers! fake dating. and well, look at them. so precious together:

50. Camboy Bunny (completed) - i think the title says it all. A delicious read!

51. Beyond the Memories - AAAAAHHHHHHH! the story in itself should be sweet and fluffy but the author manages to squeeze in the undercurrent of there is something wrong. as a reader, there is something big that we don’t know and once it comes out — all of it will be shattered. it looks like there is some sort of regression and MC doesn’t know this but the ML does. The question here is when his memories will come back and will he forgive the ML. We are not in that part yet with what’s available right now so i’m excited!

52. Private Call (completed) - another omegaverse.

53. Senza Replica - guide/esper. very few chapters out and something i will go back to.

I read everything except the novel at BATO. 🫶🏼 covering my may-october 2024 reads.

[flibbertygigget]

The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter/Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Shidai is SO stupid omg. The main character's isakai secret sauce is accounting. The ML is a broody knight who desperately wants to be a housewife. EVERYONE in the other world is as dumb as a box of rocks. It's Fuck or Die. Effervescent sksghwenfgf I hope they translate the next volume asap.

[moontheoretist]

THEY ARE ANIMATING THE CORPORATE SLAVE MANGA?! (I also don't like the bean counter translation, corporate slave just explains what the idea is about better, but they wanted to avoid using the word "slave" so they used the "bean counter"). This is a manga that literally was at chapter 24,5 not translated for MONTHS! (I'm waiting!) And it's SUPER good. It covers the heavy topics such as Japanese overwork culture and how it drives people to destroy their own health. And it's funnily a BL version of Saintess Power is Omnipotent. The setting is the same, even the names of the protagonists are the same, the only difference is that Corporate Slave is BL romance while Saintess Power is Omnipotent is straight romance. I love this series. I need more. I love men that can just faint at a drop of a hat and their boyfriend runs to them all concerned. Also this story tackles the issue of "how people from our world would fare / adapt in a world of magic" in a way that to my knowledge was never touched upon in isekai before this one.

I'M OVERJOYED! FINALLY THEY'RE ANIMATING IT!

Hello~ Do you interested to translate Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Shidai!! ??

I've been searching evrywhere and didn't find anyone who translate it

Or maybe you or anyone knows?

Sorry, and thank you so much!

Hi, there. Since this title has been licensed in english by Yen Press, we can't consider working on it. I think that's why it's unlikely for a scan group to continue it. Sorry.
