How A Realist Hero Rebuilt A Kingdom...

How A Realist Hero Rebuilt A Kingdom seemed like something I might enjoy, so I bought it...
Suddenly summoned to a fantasy world and betrothed to the princess, Souma Kazuya is crowned the new king. Unlike the royalty before him, he won't be using swords or magic to rule. Will his administrative reform really get this kingdom back on track?
After being summoned to another world, Souma finds that the kingdom is in dire financial straights and needs to either come up the cash or send their newly summoned hero off to repay their debts. Souma isn't pleased with his situation and asks to see the kingdom's financial statements instead. After reviewing the financials with Souma, the king abdicates the throne and dumps his responsibilities onto Souma. Souma, now the newly appointed king, along with a host of accountants, solves some of the kingdom's most immediate issues.

In the process, Souma manages to stir up political issues both with nobles whose finances have come under increased scrutiny and by larger forces within the kingdom and beyond its borders. Souma must deal with infrastructure, political and military issues. There are some battles, but, not much in the way of red ink. There are no naughty bits. The series has quite a bit of intrigue and political maneuvering, but, was still very enjoyable and easy to watch. I gave How A Realist Hero Rebuilt A Kingdom a 4 out of 5.
