Shinichi Kanou is a reclusive otaku who is well-versed in anime, manga, and video games. He is abducted and transferred to the Eldant Empire—a mythical land inhabited with elves, dragons, and dwarves—one day after applying for a job in the hopes of escaping his reclusive existence. Shinichi, who is trapped in this alien nation, is assigned an unexpected duty by the Japanese government: to promote otaku culture throughout the realm by becoming a "Otaku Missionary."
