(please forgive me if the translation is sloppy, the series hasn't been translated at all)
Alternate Title: 異世界ちゃんこ 横綱目前に召喚されたんだが
Author: Fumi Hayashi
Publisher: Takeshobo (Bamboo Comics)
Volumes: 9 (ongoing)
Synopsis: Defeat monsters with sumo wrestling and make them into chanko!The first place of sumo wrestling, Chiakiraku.
Ōzeki and Takarayama, who won two consecutive championships, were sure to secure their long-awaited promotion to yokozuna – it was.
But at that moment, there was a huge monster in front of me!?
Takarayama is summoned to another world by magic...!?
I didn't know how to get back to the original world, and I was hungry.
"That's right, let's make this monster 'chanko'!"Thoughts: One more to cap this licensing suggestion batch off - was looking for Takeshobo manga that 7S didn't take already and this stood out to me. As the Google translated summary suggests - a sumo wrestler who was about to gain the rankof yokozuna gets summoned to another world. He doesn't know how to get back, but he's starving and needs his chanko - the stew sumo wrestlers eat to bulk up. And wouldn't you know it, there are sources of protein all around him.
It doesn't seem to be based on a light novel, but still - a sumo wrestler isekai isn't the strangest thing JNC has licensed.
