The film stars Shūichirō Umeda as Haruka. He is the only one in his class who did not receive a “cheat skill” from God during the class's sudden summoning to another world. He is determined to enjoy his “lonely” life in the other world by using the remaining bad skills.

Akio Kazumi (Fist of the Blue Sky Regenesis) is directing the anime at Hayabusa Film and Passion. Kenta Ihara (The Blue Wolves of Mibu, Ishura) is in charge of series composition and Keiya Nakano (Hamidashi Creative, Keijo!!!!!!!!!!!!!) is designing the characters.

Goji launched the novel series on the website “Shōsetsuka ni Narō” in 2016, and the 14th volume was published on April 25. Saku Enomaru took on the illustrations from booota for the novels starting with the third volume. The novels have over 2.8 million copies (print and digital) in circulation. A manga adaptation by Bibi debuted on the Comic Gardo website in January 2019, and Overlap will publish the 20th compiled book volume on September 25.
Seven Seas has licensed the light novel series and will release the 10th volume in English on November 12. The company will publish the novels as part of its Airship imprint.
Seven Seas describes the series:
When the stoic loner Haruka is transported to another world with his class, he's not up for an adventure, but he wouldn't mind some fun magic of his own. Unfortunately, magical powers come first come first served, and Haruka, in turn, has nothing good to choose from. Now he'll have to navigate this fantasy world the hard way, with a plethora of bizarre skills…and with all the girls in his class watching!
Kaiten Books publishes the manga adaptations of Goji and Bibi in English.
