Matsuri Akai writes the My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s (Asashin de Aru no Sutetasu ga Yusha Yori mo Akiraka ni Tsuyoi Nodaga) light novel series, which features illustrations by Tozai. It began as a web novel by Akai n January 2017, while Overlap began publishing the series under its Overlap Bunko imprint after acquiring it in November 2017. There is also a manga adaptation by Hiroyuki Aigamo.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both light novel and manga in English, describing the former:
Oda Akira is the kind of guy who people forget is even there. His unassuming nature pays off, though, when his entire class is swept away to a fantasy world, and he slips easily into his new role as a silent assassin. Between his suspiciously high starting stats and too many details that don’t fit, Akira is sure something is wrong. But digging into royal secrets is a dangerous game, and when Akira uncovers an evil scheme, he also makes a powerful enemy—the very king who brought him to this world! With the help of the elven spirit medium Amelia, can he find the power to set things right, and get his revenge?
