“How to Become a God in an Isekai via Smartphone” Vol. 2 Print Edition Released Today, Featuring New Manga and 7 Side Stories!

Following its overwhelming success as an indie release on X, pixiv, and Kindle, the commercial version of “How to Become a God in an Isekai via Smartphone” continues to soar, even hitting #1 on the Renta! daily rankings. The latest second volume of the print comic is released today. Unlike the digital comics, this print volume includes five chapters of the main story, plus a substantial collection of side stories and original manga content! This is the latest work by Marukawa-sensei, who also announced the TV anime adaptation of “The Ikyou no Tsumenuri Minarai.”

Story Summary & Contents Exclusive to the print volume, this edition includes short side stories providing glimpses into the world and daily lives of the characters! Volume 2 features a massive collection of seven stories! Don't miss the original manga “Predicted Love,” which reveals Honami’s social connections with a touch of excitement.

<Synopsis> Honami, who becomes an “Isekai God” by Googling solutions to problems she hears through a hole in her shoji screen, finds her daily life as an unemployed woman in her late 20s turned upside down. She becomes intimate with the notorious “Lord of the Bloody Beard,” Shar, leading to hectic days. With a saint, hero, and demon king appearing, Honami is dragged out from the hole and faces Shar for the first time… and gets a surprise kiss!?

A love comedy about being loved by a clumsy, straight-forward, scary-looking lord.

[Includes main chapters 6-10, plus side stories and original manga]
