The story is described:
The brave hero Toto possesses great skill, but due to his extreme shyness, he has been unable to form a party and remains stuck in the Starting Town. One day, he is suddenly invited to join a party by three beautiful women—Ciel, Anemone, and Goa! Excited for his long-awaited journey, Toto is filled with determination… but little does he know, these women are dead set on killing him!?
An extreme introvert who faints at the slightest hint of romantic tension, and three women who each have their own reasons for wanting him dead—thus begins this harem DEATH romantic comedy!
You can see the two different versions of the key visual featuring the four main characters below.
