• 0:04
  What's up y'all and welcome back to Daddy to talk, I'm your host,
• 0:08
  Robert. And today we're going to be
• 0:10
  talking about headhunted to another world from salaryman,
• 0:15
  too big for volumes 1, & 2. Now this is a series that
• 0:25
  wasn't. It was another very fun and
• 0:27
  pleasant surprise. Oh, curse for Before I get to
• 0:33
  that this series was just really fun.
• 0:41
  It was a lot and both of these volumes All Things.
• 0:44
  Considered and Sis Sis. Two volumes were already out and
• 0:51
  I enjoy the first one. I just want him to pick up the
• 0:53
  cycle because I'm like, you know what, let me just go ahead and
• 0:55
  just read and then just talk about both of them.
• 0:58
  So a little bit of background. So Genre wise, this is a Sakai.
• 1:06
  And but not your normal typical. It's a kind August as.
• 1:11
  So, the story is done by Benny gashira.
• 1:17
  And the art is done by murderer, murderer mitsui, and it's
• 1:22
  published by Seven Seas, so, The basic premise of this, Serie of
• 1:29
  this of this series is that our main character gochi, Maru go,
• 1:38
  Chamorro denounced, gay, and his present life or reg normal life,
• 1:45
  he was like a regional sales manager.
• 1:48
  So, his job was to travel in a right to travel around and
• 1:52
  basically negotiate and make deals with, you know, different
• 1:55
  companies and stuff like that. Well, he got hit by bus cone and
• 2:03
  got a saccade to this world where the demon Overlord needed
• 2:11
  to add a fourth person, or a new person to the big four.
• 2:16
  Now, I don't think it was ever mentioned.
• 2:18
  If there was always a big four and here's your player, somebody
• 2:21
  or this was just a new position that he opened up, but basically
• 2:25
  the Demon Lord summoned, De no scary because he needed somebody
• 2:29
  else to know the basically, just like kind of kind of round out
• 2:33
  his team and he summons the nosegay.
• 2:38
  And so the big four, they're also known as the four Heavenly
• 2:42
  Kings. So you have so we get reduced.
• 2:50
  To the other three we have. Oh my god, Ra, who is the girl
• 2:58
  the redhead on the cover vol.1, queen of assault in Hellfire
• 3:05
  sylphide. Conjurer of the Ultimate Storm
• 3:08
  which slight spoiler be we find out.
• 3:11
  She is the one on the cover of volume 2, and, and the third one
• 3:19
  is Nome Manipulator of Nature's ball.
• 3:23
  Walk the earth. Now, I've seen what I've seen
• 3:27
  with volume 3. Looks like and judging by the
• 3:29
  pattern. I'm guessing that the person on
• 3:31
  the cover bottom three because right here the person's face is
• 3:36
  kind of covered up so you can't tell who it is.
• 3:37
  Same with the second one but more likely person on volume 3
• 3:43
  is the other Heavenly King but basically the day my Lord so And
• 3:50
  denounced gay. It was just so it was just such
• 3:55
  a fresh start because the no scan shows up.
• 3:59
  And it's the Demon Lord is like, I summon Su Qi.
• 4:03
  Morrow, danowsky Regional, Matt regional manager of the
• 4:07
  overseas, and he just looks so freaking puzzled and confused.
• 4:13
  Like where the hell are my? What is going on?
• 4:16
  And the Demon Lord is like I have witnessed your service
• 4:19
  within your This Fellowship, you shall join my demon Army as a
• 4:24
  general and of course no skate. He's freaking out because he's
• 4:27
  like demon Army General, what's going on?
• 4:31
  And then we get the flashback as far as like you know what his
• 4:34
  previous job was. And yeah.
• 4:40
  So basically the premise of this is just that this dude was super
• 4:45
  good at negotiating deals and so the Demon Lord he is trying to
• 4:50
  build up his army and part of him beating up his army means
• 4:54
  that he needs to go out and recruit people from other races
• 4:58
  other areas and stuff or whatever.
• 5:00
  And so since the nose K is good with that he is able Two or the
• 5:09
  Demon Lord guy him because he needed him to go out and to
• 5:14
  broker these deals with these other people.
• 5:16
  So, because there's even a point where like he goes to the to
• 5:21
  the, the Minotaur Kingdom. He makes a deal with them and he
• 5:25
  helps out with some other people that stuff, but it is just such
• 5:29
  a fun read. And once again, just another
• 5:33
  different take on your standard Asic eye and honestly it's kind
• 5:37
  Kind of kind of falls in the same similar boats by.
• 5:40
  I think I might like this more than for those that were my
• 5:43
  remember the one of the first series that kind of changed my
• 5:49
  idea of of what I thought of what is the cause, whatever was
• 5:53
  karate Survivor in another world where a guy gets just a normal
• 5:58
  dude, gets transported, and he only has the ability to do
• 6:01
  karate, which if you ever watch the review, I'll put a link in
• 6:05
  the show notes or check the pie. A speed whatever to go check
• 6:09
  that out. But also on the anime side of
• 6:14
  things, there's a series called, how a realist, rebuilt, a
• 6:18
  kingdom where another similar situation to where the king of
• 6:23
  that Kingdom. They summon the main character
• 6:27
  of that series to basically be a filling a king, and he has no
• 6:31
  special abilities, whatever. But he has a mindset where he
• 6:35
  thinks differently from buddy in this world and so he kind of
• 6:40
  uses that to his Advantage for, you know, tactics and how he
• 6:43
  Maneuvers around the kingdom. And so that's pretty much how
• 6:49
  this situation is and and headhunted.
• 6:54
  And so that's where like I said it was just such a fun read just
• 6:58
  get in to meet these other characters.
• 7:02
  I really like, I pretty much like all the the other big three
• 7:07
  that we've Are the other Heavenly cases we've met so far
• 7:11
  other madra and Salford. I really like both of them and
• 7:18
  there's also an auger lady that he meets as well through his
• 7:25
  negotiations that stuff. But and honestly, it kind of
• 7:31
  also gives me a little bit of. I've, there's another anime that
• 7:34
  I started watching recently called Things like how the
• 7:39
  genius Prince got his kingdom out of national debt or
• 7:43
  something of that nature. Yeah, the genius princess guide.
• 7:50
  to raise a nation out of debt long freaking name but that's
• 7:55
  another series of that this kind of makes me think of to wear
• 8:00
  He's a said, the no skate, he's a Salesman and so that's what
• 8:05
  his job was. And so I like how sometimes he
• 8:10
  Brokers certain deals and stuff and just like how in a genius
• 8:15
  Prince tour, sometimes you're like, yo, how did he pull this
• 8:18
  off? They'll kind of go back and say,
• 8:22
  talk about like, what his thought process was for doing
• 8:28
  the move that he does and broken the distance.
• 8:30
  The, he makes. But yeah, this was, this was
• 8:35
  just like, a fun read and just like, karate Survivor, but
• 8:40
  honestly, the first volume of this of headhunted was enough to
• 8:44
  tell me, but especially after reading, Volume 2, I am, I'm
• 8:49
  locked in so volume. 3 of this is going to come out in March.
• 8:54
  I think, I think it's March, let me see, no tank volume 3 don't
• 8:59
  come out to the end of April, I'm thinking that karate
• 9:03
  Survivor volume 3 is coming out in March, so got a couple months
• 9:07
  away, but hey, but yeah, like I said, go check out the series.
• 9:14
  I know there's a million freaking east of cars and stuff
• 9:17
  like that out there. But just like I mentioned with
• 9:20
  karate Survivor as well as how real is rebuilt.
• 9:22
  The kingdom headhunted to another world.
• 9:26
  Just really breaks that normal mode of, hey, Atticus person
• 9:31
  dies, they get reborn and and now they're super overpowered
• 9:35
  and this world is like, no, we are taking this guy's number of
• 9:39
  skills that he had his day Job trailer around broker and
• 9:42
  distant companies and just applying that to brokering deals
• 9:47
  with the orc Kingdom, with the minotaurs with all these other
• 9:50
  kingdoms that stuff and so yeah, it is just been just really fun
• 9:57
  just seeing how this character is.
• 10:00
  Is embracing his role because the Demon Lord, he's like, yo,
• 10:06
  hey, you're doing fantastic at your job.
• 10:09
  Oh, that was another thing that they kind of made me laugh up
• 10:13
  front. Let me see if I can find it.
• 10:16
  Because when the no scare was freaking out about everything.
• 10:21
  Let me see. Yeah, he basically the day my
• 10:28
  Lord practically had a copy of De nosegays resume because he's
• 10:33
  like reading off everything to my transferred overseas.
• 10:37
  After five years with the company proved successful and
• 10:40
  starting up local operations by learning a new language in which
• 10:44
  to teach the employees and notice because I were to he get
• 10:47
  my resume. So the series has like really
• 10:49
  good humor and stuff mixed in it as well.
• 10:55
  And where did he say? Let me see.
• 11:02
  Yeah, because you could denounce guys freaking out.
• 11:04
  Some, you know, it's not that if somebody recognizes my hard work
• 11:07
  but it demon Army. This is no, it's mine, you know.
• 11:11
  He's just freaking out. And so the Demon Lord says I
• 11:14
  should mention that as Heavenly King.
• 11:17
  You shall also receive full benefits and basically tells him
• 11:23
  that his position as a Heavenly King is the equivalent of like a
• 11:27
  director at a company is our job.
• 11:31
  I'm say, you know, you could you get to choose your own employees
• 11:33
  that have your own office. What do you think?
• 11:37
  So, I just love that the Demon. Lord is just a chill, dude.
• 11:42
  He's not like super crazy and menacing he's just like, hey,
• 11:46
  I'm just trying to build up this Kingdom.
• 11:48
  I found your resume on, indeed, on the ISA cat, indeed.
• 11:55
  It was a you know what, I like that to know ski tomorrow, dude.
• 12:01
  And so yeah it like I say overall the main point of this,
• 12:05
  I'ma stop rambling but the main point is this is fine.
• 12:08
  I'm a prayer had to dress. The part, got my got out my my
• 12:15
  dress shirt and drop the tie off for y'all today.
• 12:19
  But yeah if if any of y'all out there has checked out the
• 12:23
  series, please let me know because like I said, it is just
• 12:26
  so fun. And this is definitely one that
• 12:28
  I can see at some point in the future getting an anime.
• 12:31
  And if it ever does it, say things like karate Survivor and
• 12:34
  stuff, y'all different be hear me.
• 12:36
  Shout its Praises from the rooftops but I am just like so I
• 12:41
  am super excited to check out volume 3, let me see if I can
• 12:49
  find it real quick. So, yeah, so I got my eyes set
• 12:53
  on volume 3. And look how, look how dope he
• 12:56
  looks on that cover. But yeah, enough about that like
• 13:02
  sometime stop rambling. Y'all go check out this series,
• 13:06
  like I said, it was such a fun read and one that Just cheered
• 13:14
  me up. I got I guess that's the best
• 13:15
  way I can put it as a nice cheerful series and I wish I
• 13:23
  could just keep going on and talking about it went.
• 13:26
  Well that's now kind of mention this is like - spoiler but like
• 13:31
  a situation here to deal with which once again just really
• 13:35
  makes me think about both the the genius Prince as well as a
• 13:42
  realist kingdom is he knows how to utilize people stress for
• 13:51
  their no for the best benefit because basically there was a
• 13:55
  situation to where he encountered a merchant that
• 13:58
  basically was taking some stuff from them and the and the way he
• 14:02
  handled that situation just really made me think about those
• 14:05
  are the two series and also just along the way just seeing his
• 14:11
  His right relationship with especially on, what's the name
• 14:17
  of madra, the the, demon girl, and just kind of him also like
• 14:23
  having to learn the different customs and stuff of this world
• 14:27
  as well just because it's like you know sometimes certain
• 14:30
  things he sees he's not actually understanding my own.
• 14:33
  Oh this is like cultural differences or this is how you
• 14:37
  know these creatures are these people.
• 14:41
  Operating this world. And yeah, it's just just a
• 14:44
  really unique. Look at how this stuff is
• 14:47
  handled but like I said, I'll brown border.
• 14:49
