Ready for an adventure that's out of this world? We've gacha covered.
Norl's a cutting-edge cutie with a cutting edge who's a cut above the rest. Heihachi's just your average mobile game addict with a whale-sized hole in his wallet.

But one day, he pulls an item that pulls him into another world, spinning his life around with a spin of the gacha.

Attacked by monsters, and left without options, Heihachi does what he knows best—roll gacha! To his surprise, he watches his unit materialize before his eyes. Heihachi's used to seeing cute girls pop up on his phone, but he's never seen one pop out of his phone!

Join him on his quest to collect OP UR QTs! (That's Overpowered Ultra Rare Cuties.)

Kaiten Books released the manga's seventh volume digitally in September 2024.

Chinkururi launched the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in January 2016, and the series is ongoing. Micro Magazine published the ninth novel volume in August 2020.
