Publishing company Kadokawa announced on Wednesday that a television anime adaptation of Kazutomo Ichitomo's Benriya Saitou-san, Isekai ni Iku (Handyman Saitou in Another World) manga is in production. Ichitomo drew a commemorative illustration for the announcement (pictured above).

Ichitomo began serializing the fantasy comedy manga on the ComicWalker website in October 2018. Kadokawa shipped the fifth volume on June 23, with the sixth volume releasing on January 21. The manga has a cumulative 300 000 copies of its volumes in print.

Synopsis
Saitou is an ordinary handyman that gets transported to another world where his skills are very useful. He starts to really understand what it means to be needed. (Source: MU)

Wait that's it ? No "he's bullied, and hates women and wants a revenge on the world" stuff ?

Well that's probably one of the most straightforward synopses I've ever seen. Does he commit suicide, or get hit by Truck-kun while walking home? Or does he just end up in another world?
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Transported to another world.... but how? A magic wand or something? Or like he was coming out of a store and suddenly got transported, or was he in a library reading something and suddenly got summoned in another world or like thrown onto the tracks or the based truck-kun thing. Well no merit in asking because we certainly are at the point of no return now.

Wow you made Zero No Tsukaima, Re:Zero, Rising Of The Shield Hero and other Truck-kun hitting typical Anime's 😂
You should have also included the stabbed to death from Slime

I haven't read this yet, even though I'm a fan of this Mangaka, but hopefully this is a sign that Ryugasaki-san will get an anime adaption one day.

I would be a lot less bored by, and disappointed by the popularity of, isekais if it wasn't just the same four already cringe-inducingly overdone tropes being constantly recycled.

That said, I'm sure there's going to be plenty of people who will get vicarious wish-fulfillment and much enjoyment out of this MC doing his "will they/won't they" routine with whatever harem of rotating cardboard cutout teenage girls he accumulates through whatever contrived heroics he'll accomplish by tripping over himself and knowing how to repair door hinges. I can't even hate them for it, either, because the mangaka is clearly technically component, if apparently not very creatively inclined.

Every single time I see another Isekai that looks like they've fully given up on even trying to be creative, you get another one like this. Two. Fucking. Sentences. Why even bother at this point?
Well I for one already loved Lain.
