Author: Namekojirushi (also wrote Little Apocalypse)
Illustrator: Kotatsu
Volume count: 3 (ongoing)Some people were talking about this one on the discord yesterday and it caught my attention.
I translated the two story descriptions from Amazon (to the best of my ability):
.Summary
One day, mercenary extraordinaire Masamune was summoned to another world as the hero who would save humanity–HOWEVER.
“The human race has already been destroyed.”
The one who greeted the reincarnated merc was Demon Lord Shishi.
Looks like Masamune’s reincarnation came a little late, and mankind was wiped out!To Masamune, the hero who found himself out of a job on his very first day, Shishi makes an offer:
“Say, would you like to come work for me?”
With nowhere to go, Masamune accepts. Only…
“So, who do you want me to assassinate?”
“Uh, no?! Nobody’s asking that of you, okay?!”
This is the story of the demon lord that destroyed humanity, Shishi, and the greatest (former) hero, Masamune.
The demon lord’s castle – their stage.
The curtain rises on this sometimes love comedy, other times great otherworld fantasy!!.
Apparently, it's like Full Metal Panic where one serious military boi hilariously misunderstands the heroine's requests. Dunno about you all, but I'm game.Twitter thread with some gorgeous illustrations from the first volume:

Seen this promoted a lot lately on social media with the new volume out / inbound (it's a beach chapter already for volume 2 iirc).

I couldn't find an LNDB page for this series, so I made one myself.

EDIT: Never mind, LNDB is dead and gone... -
Please, get this along with Izure Shinwa no Ragnarok, I love Namekojirushi-sensei!!!!

Now that GA Bunko titles are on the licensing table, I thought I'd give this one a bump.
-
No volume in over a year now makes me suspect that it's stalled.
