Story
Corporate drone Arihito Atobe meets an untimely end in a freak bus accident, only to be reborn in a fantasy world as a type of adventurer known as a Seeker. He discovers a rare job class called Rearguard, which lets him provide his all-female party with powerful attack, defense, and recovery support from the back of the line — and as a bonus, simply standing at the rear passively raises his companions’ affection for him. Freed from the grind of office life, Arihito throws himself into his new adventure with fresh enthusiasm.
