Skeleton Knight in Another World (骸骨騎士様、只今異世界へお出掛け中, Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekake-chū) is a Japanese light novel series written by Ennki Hakari and illustrated by KeG.

A manga adaptation with art by Akira Sawano has been serialized online via Overlap's Comic Gardo website since February 2017 and has been collected in 13 tankōbon volumes.

Spying a band of bandits attacking a group at a distance and seeing they're about to rape two women, he springs into action and kills the brigands.

While he refuses a reward (to avoid meeting Lauren's father Viscount Buckle du Luvierte, as it would cause complications should the noble ask to see his face), he accepts a copper passport from Rita which will allow him easier passage through any city in the territory.

Meeting up with Danka, another elf soldier who has been scouting inside Diento for information (and the one whom Arc had encountered earlier), the three invade the slave warehouse.

During their initial search, Arc encounters a catgirl ninja, who gives him information about humans involved in the slave trade and about other captured elves being held in the local lord's castle.

After they free the two female elves (who then "punish" their captor/tormentor in a particularly gruesome fashion) and escape, Ariane asks Arc to accompany her back to their lands.

Dillan offers to hire Arc to continue helping Ariane, and as payment provides him with information about a magic pool in Dragon Lord country that may lift his skeleton curse.

In September 2018, Seven Seas Entertainment announced its licensing of the manga series for localization in North America under the title Skeleton Knight in Another World.

James Beckett found the sexual assault opening "lascivious and needlessly cruel" and felt that Arc comes across as a "genuine sociopath" when going through violent scenarios.

Rebecca Silverman found the "opening salvo" as a cheap ploy to grab viewers' attention and called the rest of the episode "shockingly bland", concluding that "a combination of insipid and offensive doesn't leave this with a whole lot to recommend it."

Conversely, Richard Eisenbeis was positive towards Arc's personality and felt the bandit scene gave him some "character development", concluding that: "All in all, despite the rough start, I really enjoyed this episode and can't wait to see where things go from here as he inevitably forms a party and answers the call to adventure.
