Synopsis

Dennosuke Uchimura is your normal, everyday salaryman trying to climb the corporate ladder. But then he’s summoned to a terrifying fantasy world by the Demon Overlord, who offers him a new job—as one of the Heavenly Kings in his army, with full benefits! Uchimura may not have muscles or magic, but he does have an office worker’s skills and savvy. Will they be enough to keep him alive?

Preliminary (4/12 eps)
I'm really enjoying this anime—it's my second favorite isekai of the season! It has a similar vibe to How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, but instead of becoming the ruler, the protagonist works under the king. If you liked Realist Hero, you’ll definitely enjoy this one too.

A salaryman gets isekai’d and ends up as one of the Demon Lord’s Big Four, though his role is more of a minister or advisor rather than a combatant.

Our hero is your typical salaryman, underappreciated and ...

TL;DR: great if you're expecting an average isekai. Bad if you've hyped the show up to be a reinvention of the genre.

It's one of those anime where its name basically tells you all you need to know. I was intrigued by the premise, but that alone isn't enough to carry a show. It takes TWO episodes for some random girl to propose (marriage, as in) to the protagonist because apparently he's just that awesome, and his backstory itself is very "isekai" (extremely diligent, capable worker whose work isn't appreciated by his employers for little reason - it's basically "banished from the hero party" with extra ...
