The December issue of Ichijinsha‘s Monthly Comic Rex magazine revealed on Monday that manga author Nanin will launch a new manga titled Dōmo, Butsuyoku no Seijo desu. Musō Skill [Clear Hōshū] de Seidai ni Kanchigai Saremashita (Hello, I’m the Saint of Material Desires. There Was a Huge Misunderstanding About the “Clear Reward” Peerless Skill), in the magazine’s next issue on November 27. The manga is an adaptation of Rachimu’s light novel series of the same title.
The story centers on Materi, a high school girl who is suddenly summoned to a kingdom in another world, with a supposedly powerful skill in her. But the kingdom’s ruler deems Materi’s “Clear Reward” skill useless, and exiles her, thus activating her skill. As it turns out, Materi can gather rare weapons and useful items just by clearing the trials given to her. Materi becomes obsessed with acquiring skills and gathering items.
Rachimu launched the original story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2022. Kadokawa started publishing the light novel with illustrations by Yoshitake (image right) in February 2023. Kadokawa released the second volume that July.
Storywriter Gingitsune Ezo and Nanin launched the Frontier Life with a Weird Dragon and an Errand Boy (Hen na Ryū to Moto Yūsha Party Zatsuyō Gakari, Shin Tairiku de Nonbiri Slow Life) manga on Square Enix‘s Gangan Online website in January 2022, and the series ended in December 2023. The manga is an adaptation of Ezo’s novel series. Square Enix‘s Manga UP! Global service and Kadokawa‘s BookWalker Global Store publishes the manga digitally.
