When Akira's class is magically summoned to another world, he and his classmates are awarded fantastical powers–but while one of them is lucky enough to become a true Hero, Akira becomes a mere Assassin.

Harboring doubts about the intentions of the king, Akira uses his newfound strength as a master of the shadows to uncover the secrets and conspiracies of the crown.
Seven Seas will publish the series My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's (Light Novel) for the first time in North America in print and (early) on digital platforms in single large-trim editions. Volume 1 will be released in print in August 2021 for $14.99 USA / $18.99 CAN as part of Seven Seas' Airship light novel imprint.
