Synopsis of the Isekai BL Adventure
“The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter” follows Seiichirou Kondou, a salaryman nearing his 30s, who finds himself accidentally transported to a parallel world known as the Romany Kingdom during a holy maiden summoning ritual. Despite being in a new world, his ingrained corporate work ethic leads him to seek employment, landing him a position in the Royal Accounting Department.
During his demanding days of rebuilding the accounting department, Seiichirou discovers a miraculous nutritional tonic that eliminates his chronic fatigue. However, lacking resistance to the new world’s magic, the tonic’s side effects place his life in peril. To survive, he must rely on someone with magical abilities to help his body acclimate to the magical energy. This leads him to Aresh, the formidable “Ice Prince” and captain of the Third Royal Order, with whom Seiichirou develops an unexpected and intimate relationship that begins as a form of medical treatment.
The series is based on the popular Boys’ Love light novel series written by Yatsuki Wakatsu and illustrated by Kikka Ohashi. It has also inspired a manga adaptation by Kazuki Irodori. Yen Press licenses both the light novel and manga in English, making the story accessible to a wider international audience.
