by Koyoshi Nakayoshi
- Action
- Adventure
- Comedy

Togo Asagaki fights evil as the Red Ranger of a superhero team, but his last desperate battle leaves him somewhere no training could have prepared him for: another world. Surrounded by magic, monsters and unfamiliar customs, he takes up the life of an adventurer without abandoning the ideals that made him a hero. Transforming into Kizuna Red still seems like a perfectly sensible way to help. His new companions have rather different expectations of adventurers, especially when his spectacular powers and wholehearted speeches enter the picture. Fantasy quests meet the exuberance of a team-based action hero in a story about carrying the spirit of cooperation into a world that has never seen anything quite like him.
