“When a 30-year-old salaryman and games enthusiast is suddenly killed in a car accident, he finds himself reborn into a fantasy world…but in the form of a sword!” says the official description of the series. “Now he’s in search of a beautiful woman to wield him, and a cat girl named Fran might be the exact adventuring partner he needs.”
At the time of writing, only the first nine volumes of the light novel series and the first seven volumes of the manga series are available in English.
