## Synopsis

* Japanese
* English
 There’s a legendary Bishoujo Game that has become popular among Japanese gentlemen.

Its name is “ Magical★Explorer” or Magiero for short.

The game’s protagonist has a cheat-like power with12 different beautiful heroines to flirt with, including additional 12 heroines from the DLC, a harem of 24 beauties. I have become that protagonist!………………Not. Instead, I have become the third-wheel character who always laughing like an idiot next to him.

Of course I was in despair at first.

Of course. If I am the protagonist I could have all 24 heroines for myself along with unparalleled cheat power. However, since I am the third-wheel there’s no heroine that would lay their eyes on me.

But now I couldn’t care less about the protagonist and his heroines. Why? Because I discovered magic. While I was using it, I have become interested in it. I want to master it. I want to become the strongest. Thus I have decided.

I would abandon half my role as a protagonist’s friend to train my magic and then I would beat the hell out of that cheat who can solo the Demon King.

 Living in the world of the erotic game Magical★Explorer sounds like a dream. Problem is, I reincarnated not as the lady-killer protagonist with his overpowered cheat skills, but as his unlucky comic-relief best friend!

## Trivia

* Chapter 4 has been divided into two parts.
* The official Twitter account for Kadokawa's Young Ace Up's website revealed on June 8, 2021 that manga adaptation would go on a long term hiatus due to Yukari Higa undergoing medical treatment. Since then, the manga slowly returned to serialization, with each chapter divided into even smaller parts out of consideration for Higa's health. These smaller chapter pieces released biweekly during specific seasons: Chapter 5 during Spring 2022, Chapter 6 during Fall 2022, and Chapter 7 during Summer 2023.
