Synopsis
Asakura Rensuke is a Knight Candidate, who wore a honor student’s mask, that protects Japan from a natural threat called ‘Radiant Beasts’ using an Iron Steel Knight, which he pilots better than anyone else.

One day, from the top of a tree, he was suddenly jumped upon by a dark elf named Sheena— a ‘gyaru’ high school student… who has been reincarnated from another world.

She has a provocative attitude, lecherous speech, and a bright, sunny smile. Rensuke took Sheena as one of his family members and starts living with her in an apartment, soon getting caught up in a battle royale for survival among magical species that have been reincarnated from other worlds.

This is the mythical apocalypse story of two people who have fallen out of the world.

My Thoughts
Mechs, dark elves, romcom-like setting and a reverse isekai. Need I say more?

KInda funky; MAL has no entries related to this series.
Took some work to confirm that DIGS & Kurogin were truly the same illustrator... Overlap has 黒銀 DIGS as the illustrator for Knights & Magic, and Kurogin's Twitter shows the cover for Volume 11 of Knights & Magic with just 黒銀, no DIGS, which struck me as good enough.
