In this year's third issue of Square Enix's Gangan Joker magazine, it was revealed that the manga adaptation of the Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun (Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki) light novels by Eight Chida has finished its second part. The magazine did not list that the manga will continue in the next issue next month, but the last page included the sentence "Level Completed - Continued".
Eight Chida began publication of the manga adaptation in Square Enix publisher's Gangan Joker magazine in December 2017. The publisher released the fifth compilation volume last February 22, and will publish the sixth in Japan next April 22.
A twelve-episode anime adaptation produced by Project No.9 Studios, under the direction of Shinsuke Yanagi and scripts written by Fumihiko Shimo, has been airing in Japan since last January 8, with Funimation in charge of its global distribution.
Synopsis of Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun
For Fumiya Tomozaki, one of Japan's top gamers, the "game of life" is the worst game there is. Although Tomozaki is the number one player in the video game "Attack Families," he is a self-proclaimed lower-level character when it comes to real life. As a sophomore in high school, he suffers from a complete lack of self-esteem, leading him to give up entirely on trying to better himself as a person. Instead, he blames the real world for being completely unbalanced, with no logical way to level up.
Aoi Hinami is an immensely popular girl in Tomozaki's class with perfect grades. She fits the role of a perfect heroine and is on the opposite end of Tomozaki's social spectrum. However, after a chance encounter with Hinami, Tomozaki realizes that she is not as perfect as he thought she was!
