A manga adaptation illustrated by Syuu Haruno began serialization in Micro Magazine's Comic Ride online magazine in March 2018 and has been compiled into thirteen volumes as of December 2025.

Heihachi Okura, a man addicted to gacha games, is a fan of the mobile game Girls Corps. One day, while playing the game, he receives an item that claims to be an invitation to be sent to another world. Initially being skeptical about rolling this ultra rare item, he is suddenly summoned to another world, where he is immediately attacked by a monster. After escaping, he summons Norl Fanya, a helmeted knight who thrusts him into a tutorial scenario. Upon beating the tutorial, he starts traveling with Norl, with Norl being thankful for him summoning her.
Characters
- Heihachi Okura (大倉 平八, Ōkura Heihachi)
- A mobile gamer who spends most of his money on the game Girls Corps. He finds himself summoned to another world through the game, vowing to create his own team of cute girls. Having brought his phone with him to the other world, he uses it to summon girls, much like a gacha game.
- Norl Fanya (ノール・ファニャ, Nōru Fanya)
- A female knight that Heihachi summoned shortly after arriving in the other world. She wears a helmet that hides her face. Despite appearance, she can show a cheerful side. She is attached to Heihachi due to him being her first master. She is particular about hiding her face, even going as far as to wear a mask when not wearing her helmet.
- Estelle (エステル, Esuteru)
- A red-haired skilled magician and an UR girl. She has a little sister-like personality, to the point that she is attached to Heihachi and calls him "onii-san".
