Plot

A war between five races for supremacy on Earth is won by humanity, led by the hero Sid. Suddenly, history gets overwritten so that Sid never existed, leading to humanity losing and becoming subjugated by dragons and demons. All of this is witnessed by a boy named Kai, who is mysteriously unaffected by the alterations. In this new world, Kai finds that he never existed previously, so no one knows him. After meeting a mysterious girl named Rinne, Kai is inspired to become the hero himself and free humanity.

1"The Boy Forgotten By the World"
Transliteration: "Sekai Kara Wasurerareta Shōnen" (Japanese: 世界から忘れられた少年)		Tatsuma MinamikawaSatoru SugizawaTBAJuly 13, 2024 (2024-07-13)
The hero Sid once led humanity to victory against the demons, angels (which include elves), spirits, and magical beasts (which include dragons). In the present, the soldier Kai and his comrades Ashuran and Saki regularly inspect a monolith that seals the demons away. Kai is the only one who takes this job seriously because he once fell into the demon realm as a child, though no one believed him. Kai goes on a date with fellow soldier Jeanne. As they talk, reality suddenly distorts and Kai finds himself in a ruined city and attacked by two demons. He kills one and is rescued from the other by Ashuran and Saki, who take him to an underground shelter. He is hurt and confused when neither they nor Jeanne recognize him. They have never heard of Sid and explain humanity was defeated in the war so they formed the last human resistance. Realizing the monolith is still there, Kai enters it and finds Sid's holy sword. He is transported to another area and finds a girl in chains with angelic and demonic wings, who begs him to free her.
2"Rinne"
(Japanese: リンネ)		Tatsuma MinamikawaSatoru SugizawaTBAJuly 20, 2024 (2024-07-20)
The girl introduces herself as Rinne before passing out. Kai uses the holy sword, Codeholder, to break the chains, but Rinne attacks him, accusing him of being a demon sent by Vanessa. After he defeats her, a demon attacks them, but Kai uses Codeholder to slice through dimensions and return them to the monolith. Rinne apologizes and explains Vanessa is the hero of the demons whom she feuded with as she is an outcast from all tribes. She remembers the original timeline with Sid. Kai takes Rinne back to the shelter after she conceals her wings, but she causes problems since she is unfamiliar with modern technology and keeps picking fights. That night, demons break into the shelter. The defenders' guns are useless, but Kai saves Ashuran and Saki and kills the demons with anti-magic bullets and techniques unknown to the people here with Rinne's assistance. Kai and Rinne are brought to a council who do not believe their tale of an alternate timeline, but Jeanne decides to trust Kai after he reveals knowledge of her nicknames for her father and grandfather and the fact she is a girl pretending to be a man. They make a plan where Jeanne's troops will distract the demons while Kai and Rinne assassinate Vanessa.

Reception

By July 2023, the series had over 700,000 copies in circulation.[35]
