Seiichiro Kondou is living the life of a hard-working pencil pusher in the modern world. On his way home one day, he hears a scream and finds a young woman being sucked into a portal. In an attempt to help her, he grabs her hand and ends up being transported to the same world with her.

It turns out, they're trapped in a parallel world (with fantasy elements) where it's revealed the woman was summoned by a spell, as the new Holy Maiden - capable of curing a terrible magical plague - while Seiichiro is just surplus. But as he was accidentally pulled in, the world accepts that he's become their responsibility. Except the only compensation Seiichiro wants is to be put to work! He becomes an accountant and quickly rises up the ranks to prove his worth.

Captain Aresh and the prime minister are both intrigued by Seiichiro for different reasons, but when a well-meaning co-worker gives Seiichiro advice about how to cure his aches and fatigue - something he's been plagued with for years - Seiichiro accidentally overdoses on the 'medicine'. Aresh happens to find him when he collapses and uses magic to cure Seiichiro - except it turns out Seiichiro suffers from magic-sickness! To save him from the cure, Aresh has to...have sex with him. ;) Hmm...what an interesting plot point.

lol. All kidding aside, this was a REALLY well written, plotted and characterised story. It strongly resembles A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation, however this has ALL the romance and chemistry that I wanted from Gentle Noble (but still haven't gotten, after NINE volumes!) The chemistry between Aresh and Seiichiro is AMAZING! And I really love that the sex scene is implied and behind-doors rather than explicit. That means the story gets to be the main focus, with the secondary plot of romance. I don't mind a good explicit yaoi, but it felt like the choice of non-explicit romance was the best choice here.

I loved everything about it.
