Mag Garden's MAGCOMI website announced a television anime adaptation of Youhei Yasumura's Meikyuu Black Company (The Dungeon of Black Company) manga on Wednesday. The August 2020 issue of Monthly Comic Garden will feature the manga on its cover on July 4 (pictured).

Synopsis
Kinji, who lacks any kind of work ethic, is a layabout in his modern life. One day, he finds himself transported to another world—but not in a grand fantasy of a hero welcomed with open arms. He's immediately shoved into a terrible job! Now enslaved by an evil mining company in a fantasy world, Kinji's about to really learn the meaning of hard work! (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)

The comedy fantasy manga began its serialization on the MAGCOMI website in December 2016. The sixth volume, which goes on sale on July 10, will also feature the anime announcement on its wraparound band.

Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga in English in September 2017 and released the fourth volume on January 28.

Yasumura also drew a manga adaptation of Touki Yanagimi's Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai (Antimagic Academy "The 35th Test Platoon") light novel in Comic Alive from December 2014–2016. Kadokawa published the manga in two volumes in August and December 2015.

Ah yes, the #1 reason why a manga will get review bombed by 12 year olds.

Look at the upsides. He doesn't have amnesia.

Glad to see this get a adaptation. Hopefully the manga will get a better score as people become aware of it. Written on review of the manga here and mangaupdates give it good ratings.

Anyway, this honestly looks pretty interesting, I'll probably at least watch the first couple episodes.

Really hyped for this because the artstyle is super good, heroines and hero looks sexy and it will sure have a good story since it is a maggarden work studio will be Production IG or Wit Studio which are from the same group, good news and must watch overall also it will be full adaptation.

Synopsis sounds ehh but it doesn't look like it's going to have some ecchi harem bullshit with an overpowered protagonist..I'll check it out

Edit: The source material's score is also sitting at 6.70. That's not a good sign :/

It has barely any ratings on MAL, that score is kind of irrelevant.. It sounds pretty unique for an isekai, it may turn out to be good.
