What is The World's Finest Assassin about?
The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat is a light novel series written by Rui Tsukiyo and illustrated by Reia. Tsukiyo began publishing the series on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in July 2018, before Kadokawa began releasing the novels under its Sneaker Bunko imprint in February 2019.
A manga adaptation by Hamao Sumeragi has been serialized on Kadokawa’s Young Ace UP web magazine since January 2019.
The first anime season, produced by Silver Link and Studio Palette, aired for 12 episodes from October to December 2021. Crunchyroll streamed the series.
Yen Press publishes the light novels and manga in English, and describes the story as:
“I’m going to live for myself!” The greatest assassin on Earth knew only how to live as a tool for his employers-until they stopped letting him live. Reborn by the grace of a goddess into a world of swords and sorcery, he’s offered a chance to do things differently this time around, but there’s a catch...He has to eliminate a super-powerful hero who will bring about the end of the world unless he is stopped. Now known as Lugh Tuatha Dé, the master assassin certainly has his hands full, particularly because of all the beautiful girls who constantly surround him. Lugh may have been an incomparable killer, but how will he fare against foes with powerful magic?
