Despite his shy personality and a traumatic past event, Gojo agrees to help design Marin’s outfits.

Produced by Madhouse (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End), this uniquely gritty isekai anime revolves around the players of a fantasy VR game called Yggdrasil. When an ordinary player named Momonga is transported into the game’s world as his avatar — a high-level, magic-wielding skeleton Lich — he decides to pursue his dream of conquering the world of Yggdrasil.
