The "heartwarming another world fantasy" manga centers on Saitō, an ordinary handyman who is reincarnated into another world. He forms a dungeon exploring party with Raelza, a beautiful and strong warrior; Morok, a powerful magician who due to his senility keeps forgetting spells; and Lafanpan, a cute but miserly fairy. His handyman experience is helpful for when they need to open a locked chest or fix their armor.
Kaiten Books is releasing Ichitomo's Shed that Skin, Ryugasaki-san! manga in English.
Update: Corrected name for Mevena's voice actress. Thanks, harushiga.
