Magical Explorer: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The legendary bishoujo game "Magical★Explorer"

I was reincarnated not as the protagonist surrounded by heroines thanks to my cheat abilities, but as Takine Kousuke, the unfortunate friend character who just puts on a forced smile beside them ...!

In the original game, he's inconspicuous, unrewarded, and remains a supporting character until the very end. But I have the knowledge from my past life, having played this game to its fullest extent! Furthermore, this friend character has a hidden ability: "the world's highest magical power," potentially surpassing even the protagonist...?

In order to lead the heroines he has longed for and met in this world to happy endings, his friend Kousuke fights his way through this world!
