Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Not long ago, in a fantasy world in a different dimension, a business guy was dragged through a portal. Stranded in a new land, Kondou has only one request: to spend his days peacefully working himself into the ground. But when he collapses from downing potion after potion day after day, it's the handsome knight captain Aresh who rescues the bean counter in distress...

However, it was just the beginning of the tale for these star-crossed lovers. After all, not even a near-death experience and his first time can stop Kondou from working the very next day! And so, jilted by the man he saved after a night of many firsts, Aresh starts a personal crusade to teach Kondou how to work to live instead of living to work. Meanwhile, Kondou, for the life of him, just can't figure out why he's not allowed to take any overtime...

The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter, Vol. 2 is a captivating story of love, work ethics, and the struggle to find balance in a world of magic and logic.
