The Dungeon of Black Company

About the story

“I don't want to work!” Driven by this wish, Kinji Ninomiya works tirelessly until passive income makes him an “upper-class shut-in.” Just as he resolves to spend the rest of his life in idleness, something unexpectedly transports him to another world. There awaits a brutally exploitative company where “the labyrinth is your workplace.” His elegant lifestyle is overturned, replaced by endless labor in a place once called a “dungeon,” shedding blood, sweat, and tears day after day. Appalling conditions, long hours, low pay—and worse still, his bosses' abuse of power, brainwashing, and exploitation of his value as a worker. He now lives the “corporate slave” life he used to look down on. Even so, Kinji refuses to give up. To reclaim the ultimate shut-in lifestyle, he will sometimes stop at nothing and sometimes resort to schemes and dirty tricks to strike it rich… This is the story of an arrogant, unscrupulous young man's unyielding struggle. A corporate-slave fantasy of “otherworldly dungeons” meets “exploitative companies” begins.
