Synopsis: Note Athlon was really looking forward to becoming an adventurer with his best friend (and crush) Miya. That is, until he drew Mapping--a rare skill with practically no purpose. In other words, it's trash. This kicks off a vicious spiral for Note, who plummets further and further into the depths of self-loathing despair when Miya leaves him. He now spends his days drinking away his earnings, wondering how things might have been different if only he'd pulled a better skill… But little does he know his trash-tier skill is about to score him an invite to a top-tier adventuring party! Note's now determined to find his way through life--and a dungeon!--in order to make something of himself.

[…] Mapping: The Trash-Tier Skill That Got Me Into a Top-Tier Party, Vol. 1 is the first entry to a fantasy-adventure series of crappy skills, dungeon dives, and two-faced dates(!). Our protagonist, Note Athlon, is a young man who dreamed of being a prolific adventurer, at least until he was bestowed the Mapping Skill at his presentation ceremony. With this notoriously trash-tier Skill, he finds himself hopping between parties, jobs, and drinks. But it turns out Mapping is just the Skill a top-tier party – the Arrivers – is looking for. How will Note use this opportunity to change his life (and personality) for the better? In this story of action, adventure, and romance(?), Udon Kamono brings us a tale of picking oneself up and working with what you’ve got. Hitomi Shizuki’s stylized designs then add to that fantastical feel. […]
