The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter remains a fan favorite for its refreshing take on the "summoned to another world" trope. Instead of a legendary hero, our protagonist is Seiichirou Kondou, a workaholic accountant who—even after being dragged into a magical kingdom—refuses to stop working. When he starts auditing the royal treasury and cutting unnecessary military spending, he catches the eye (and the ire) of the fearsome Captain Aresh of the Third Order of Knights.
