Southeast Asian publisher Shogakukan Asia licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
Touka is just your average (slightly perverted) farmer in the village of Cheza. While he daydreams about being a hero and getting the girl, the real hero, Sion, is out battling demons that threaten to invade the world! But one day, Touka accidentally kills the hero…?! With the Legendary Hero dead, who's going to save the world now?! Touka quickly buries Sion's body to hide the evidence, but wakes up the next day to discover he is no longer in his own body…!!
The manga was first published in December 2014 by Subaruichi in Shogakukan's Ura Sunday webcomic magazine, and it ran until December 2020. On March 2021, Shogakukan released the manga's 20th and last collected book volume in Japan. In May 2022, a spinoff with the title Ysha ga Shinda! Kami no Kun-hen debuted.
