A thief and part-time worker with a passionate obsession for money. When she isn&#039;t out on an adventure she spends most of her time working odd jobs to earn money or scheming on ways to get money. She has the misfortune of being the first to meet Louie, who accidently depantsed her in a moment of drunken stupor. Merrill is by far the most resourceful, even though she is the greediest of the four. She&#039;s very good with knives.

Louie, a brawny student at the mage's guild, is reluctantly accepted by three girls (Merrill-thief, Genie-fighter, and Melissa-priestess) as a companion for their adventuring party. As the foursome explore ruins, battle dark creatures, and make new friends, they also uncover a sinister plot within the kingdom.

Tomoko Kawakami was a Japanese voice actress. Having graduated from the Toho Gakuen College of Drama and Music, she was affiliated with Production Baobab at the time of her death.

In August 2008, Kawakami was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which required surgery. During a three-year battle with cancer, most of her ongoing roles were replaced by other voice actresses, although the latter was able to do some voice work until her retirement in the start of the 2010s decade. She died on June 9, 2011 at the age of 41.

On the great continent of Alecrast exists the Kingdom of Swords, Ohfun. Louie, an unorthodox magician with hulking muscles from the Magician's Guild, spent his days surrounded by women, booze, and brawls. But on the night of celebrating his promotion to Sorcerer with his colleague, Aila, he comes across a scuffle between knight apprentices and 3 female adventurers: Merrill, Genie, and Melissa. Unable to resist the urge, Louie jumps into the fray.... (Source: Kadokawa, translated)

Few would consider Louie to be a sorcerer - especially Melissa, Merrill, and Genie. (After all, what kind of "sorcerer" spends his time drinking at bars and beating the stuffing out of the local street toughs?) But much to the chagrin of these three gorgeous female adventurers, divine will has dictated that Louie, the enchanter-gone-street fighter, is in fact a prophesized hero--who they must pledge themselves to serve! Could this bad-boy possibly have what it takes to be a hero? Or has the war god Mylee made a mistake? With a bevy of babes at his side, Louie launches into a series of adventures that range from the harrowing to the bizarre. Get ready for swords, magic, and lots of black eyes and broken noses, because when Louie fights, it's no holds barred!
