Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody is a Japanese light novel series written by Hiro Ainana. It began as an online serial in 2013 on the user-generated novel site Shosetsuka ni Naro before Fujimi Shobo acquired it, and the first light novel volume appeared in March 2014. The story follows Ichiro Suzuki, a 29-year-old game programmer who wakes in a parallel world that resembles the fantasy role-playing games he worked on, in the body of a 15-year-old called Satou. After wiping out an army of lizardmen he jumps to level 310 and becomes one of the most powerful people in that world while hiding his stats. A manga adaptation by Ayamegumu ran in Age Premium and then Monthly Dragon Age, and Yen Press licensed both the novels and the manga in North America. An anime television series by Silver Link and Connect aired from January to March 2018, and a sequel has been announced.
