Broccoli Lion’s light novel, known for its exhilarating fantasy and isekai story, was first published on a website. Later on, it was published by Micro Magazine under the GC Novel imprint. J-Novel Club purchased the license to publish the book in English.

J-Novel Club has described the story thus:

“One moment, a certain salaryman is on cloudnine, that promotion finally within his grasp, and the next, he’s keeled over pain, and that was all she wrote. Luckily for him, fate had a bit more to say. A world of magic, monsters, and other such life-shortening entities await his newly reincarnated self for a second shot at life.”

It continues,

“With nothing but his past-life experince and sharp business skills to guide him in the foreign lands of Galdaria, he takes up the name Luciel, and vows that his (next) demise will be from naught but old age. And what better way to avoid another gruesome death, than by taking up a nice, cushy job as a healer?”

The story, as described, follows a salaryman who has been reincarnated as Luciel upon his death in the real world. Eventually, he takes up the job of a healer and finds a local town to stay in.

Due to the incredible reception shown by the fans, the light novel was adapted into a manga adaptation. Illustrated by Hiiro Akikaze, the manga version of the light novel was serialized on Kodansha’s Suiyobi no Sirius manga service starting January 27, 2017. As of now, 12 Tankobon volumes have been collected.

An anime adaptation of the series was also announced on October 7, 2022. Broccoli Lion’s novel, The Great Cleric, was adapted into an anime by Yokohama Animation Laboratory and Cloud Hearts.
