What to expect from The Great Cleric manga

Hiiro Akikaze created the illustrations for a manga adaptation. On January 27, 2017, it started serialization on Kodansha's Suiybi no Sirius manga service from Niconico. The series has been licensed for English publication, Vertical announced at Anime Expo 2019. Later, on October 7, 2022, a television anime series was revealed.

The manga is an Isekai classic with a simple twist. One lovely day, the Chief God of Galdardia and the God of Destiny on Earth made a wager. The God of Destiny was defeated and decided to sacrifice 10 average souls. The Chief God of Galdardia gave new vessels to those 10 souls. One of those average individuals, a salaryman named Luciel, battled against his impending death.

In his former incarnation, Luciel, a young healer, worked as an office worker in Japan. Unfortunately, he was killed in a shooting incident. He was given the opportunity to select his talents upon rebirth, like the character selection system of an MMORPG game. As a result, he attained the ability of holy magic required for good fortune and being a healer.

When he first arrived in the fantasy world, many thought he was illiterate since he was ignorant of the basic facts of the alternate reality. Nevertheless, he underwent demanding training that made others leery of him before officially signing up as a healer at the Healer's Guild.

Even after relocating to the Adventurer's Guild, where he was mentored by the seasoned adventurer Brod, Luciel was committed to helping others. He practiced exercises that even skilled adventurers would be reluctant to do, like racing through the streets and consuming a lot of foo chow, under the guidance of Brod.

As he advances in the clergy, Luciel makes allies and foes alike by using his abilities to aid those in need and repair the church's reputation, which has been marred by the greed and corruption of many of its members.
