Synopsis

Five years of inconceivable peace after two hundred years of war left erstwhile saboteur Toru Acura without a job or a meaning in life—until he saves a mysterious wizard with a coffin on her back. But when the coffin-wielding, silver-haired Chaika Trabant hires Toru and his sister, Akari, to accompany her on a death-defying journey, Toru's life of mind-numbing, meaningless peace is about to end!

Well, I'll write a short one, as I feel like everyone should have some idea of what they're walking into here. This is the first review I've ever written on MAL, so please bear with me.

Chaika the Coffin Princess is a fantastical story of a lackadaisical young man (Tooru) who has no skills beyond his military training as a saboteur.
