Kadokawa published the first volume of the novel series in July 2017, and the ninth and final volume in August 2020.
Arikan launched the manga adaptation in Kadokawa’s Monthly Comic Alive magazine in February 2018. BookWalker Global is publishing the manga in English under the title Why Does No One Remember Me in This World? , and it describes the story:
The war between the five races on earth—the Humans,” the Demon Clan,” the “Wild God Clan,” the “Elf Clan,” and the “Demon Beast Clan”—ended in victory for humans.
It is said that “Prophet Sid” sealed the remaining four races in the black pyramid that is now known as “The Tomb”.
Kai’s job is to watch over the catacombs and make sure nothing changes. He is also being trained to save humans when other races break the seal and return to this world.
The catacombs looked quiet today…but after Kai felt the world collapsing before his eyes…everything changed.
“World Rebirth” has been activated…!!
Now Kai is in a completely different world where no one knows him. But he still misses everyone!
Sazane’s Kami wa Game ni Ueteiru (God’s Game We Play or literally God is Hungry for Games) is also inspiring an anime television adaptation this year. The anime will premiere in April.
Additionally, the second season of the television anime Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World by Sazane and Ao Nekonabe (Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjō, Arui wa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen) light novel series will also premiere this year. now after a period of delay.
