About this ebook

Mukouda Tsuyoshi was nothing special in modern Japan, so when he was summoned to a world of swordplay and sorcery, he thought he was ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Too bad the kingdom that summoned him only got him by mistake! Not only was he not one of the three summoned heroes, but his stats were laughable compared to theirs. On top of that, there's something really sketchy about this kingdom... "Ah, these people are the kind to try and use the Hero," he realized, and immediately left to make his own way in this other world.

The only thing Mukouda can rely on is his unique skill: the "Online Supermarket," a skill that allows him to buy modern goods in a fantasy world. It's useless for combat, but if he plays his cards right, he could lead a comfortable life, maybe? At least, that's what Mukouda thinks, but it turns out modern food bought with this skill has some absurd effects! What happens when Mukouda introduces ridiculously tasty modern cooking to a fantasy world like this? He gets some ridiculous repeat customers begging for more...! 

Ratings and reviews

Be warned, the main character starts buying slaves in the 7th book of the series. It goes on for several pages about him wanting a sex slave and being disgruntled when he can't find one. Then he instead buys two entire families (kids and all). Typical "happy slave" myth kind of stuff. Wish someone had warned me, so now consider yourself warned.

Thoroughly enjoyed this series, having watched the anime, I knew alot of key moments, nevertheless I still enjoyed reading it, I especially found the art enjoyable, especially the first drawing of Sui. also enjoy the little bits where he briefly describes how he cooks his food.

If you like stories about cooking, then this is for you. Continually described in detail the preparation of every meal. It does get boring after a while. Will see if it continues in the next volume, maybe.
