, commonly known simply as Instant Death, is a Japanese light novel series written by Tsuyoshi Fujitaka. The series originated on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website, which the author closed on December 10, 2023, before being published in print with illustrations by Chisato Naruse by Earth Star Entertainment from October 2016 to March 2023 for 14 volumes. A manga adaptation, illustrated by Hanamaru Nanto, began serialization in Comic Earth Star in March 2018. As of August 2023, the series' individual chapters have been collected into nine volumes. An anime television series adaptation produced by Okuruto Noboru aired from January to March 2024.
Plot
While heading to a school field trip, Yogiri Takatou's school bus is summoned to another world by a Sage who shows just how horrible she and this world is by killing the adults for petty reasons and telling the students they are to be trained as sages to fight demons and complete missions. She only takes the gifted ones, leaving the rest (including Yogiri and his classmate Tomochika Dannora) to die.
With no choice but to continue, Yogiri and Tomochika search for a way back to their own world, but Yogiri's unnatural calm apathy towards the oddity unnerves Tomochika. In truth, Yogiri is not an ordinary kid...he can kill anything or anyone he wishes just by willing it.
Characters
- A seemingly normal high-school student who is transported to another world with his classmates during a field trip. As one of the few students who did not obtain a special ability, Yogiri is left to die by sage Sion. However, he does have a secret power that allows him to kill anything instantly at will, and because of it, he is raised in a secret lab where he was put under observation by the government.
His foster mother installed in him the restraint of not using his power on inconveniences and only when he or a loved one is in danger. Despite this, he prefers to intimidate obviously weak willed people by showing off his power on objects.
The anime gives him tufts of hair subtly resembling devil horns.
- Yogiri's classmate who was also left behind by Sage Sion for not having obtained a special power. She befriends Yogiri and accompanies him in his quest to look for a way back to their original world. Her family runs a martial arts dojo. It is implied Yogiri might have a crush on her.
- The guardian spirit of the Dannoura family who watches over Tomochika who is originally from the Heian period. She is the one responsible for Tomochika not having obtained a special power because she was wary of it. Mokomoko also encourages Tomochika to get into a relationship with Yogiri so he could marry into the Dannoura family in order to always protect her, although Tomochicka isn't sure if she has feelings for him.
