You think you're living a quiet life in the countryside. Then, one day, a dragon shows up, and everything changes--not because of the fire-breathing serpent, but because of Haga, the man who shows up and "debugs" the situation. Can it be that your life is nothing like what you thought? And what, exactly, is "QA?" A thrilling isekai action fantasy from a fresh, new perspective!


The Day the Dragons Arrived
Nikola is a village girl, living a quiet life in the countryside. Then, one day, a dragon shows up and everything changes -- not because of the fire-breathing serpent, but because of Haga, the man who shows up and "debugs" the situation. He's a part of an elite society called the "Seekers," created to address a series of maladies plaguing the usually peaceful world. Could it be that your life is nothing like what you thought? And what, exactly, is "QA?" Nobody's getting reincarnated here!
The manga artist Masamichi Sato debuted in 2016 with the robotics drama Iron Body, followed by the 2018 series about Japanese chess Shogi Sasu Kedamono. Sato's latest is Quality Assurance in Another World, which became a popular digital release in English from Kodansha before coming to print.
"It's got charms in spades. It's creative enough to land it a solid recommendation." -Anime News Network


"Provides plenty of laughs through the adventures of its very underpowered protagonist and his energetic new assistant, but also isn’t afraid to get into the nitty gritty of its main subject matter and provide a darker, more morbid spin on it." -Anime UK News
