Synopsis

After flunking the entrance exam to his dream university, Temaru Ryūta is left behind by all his friends and becomes a shut-in while preparing for next year's exams. This is only the beginning of his bad luck, because one summer day he is inexplicably transported to another world, where people like himself are expected to become Adventurers. To make matters worse, he is assigned the Role of Exorcist, which is the most dangerous of all Adventurer Roles.
Ryūta reluctantly becomes the apprentice of a suspicious older Exorcist, who turns out to be a ruthless teacher, and he soon realises that his new career will be fraught with danger and terrifying monsters. During his journey he will partner up with interesting companions and make uneasy pacts with supernatural entities, as he tries to grow into his Role as an Exorcist. Along the way he fights against the monsters caused by the sins of men, as well as corrupted Exorcists who have become a part of the darkness they were meant to fight.
