It has been announced that the Handyman Saitou in Another World anime is scheduled to premiere in Japan on January 8, 2023. Crunchyroll had previously announced that it will begin simulcasting the anime in January 2023 in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East and CIS.
Handyman Saitou in Another World is described as:
Handyman Saito has never been anyone special. All his life, he’s had average grades, ordinary athletic skill, a commonplace job. But his unremarkable path takes a turn when he wakes up in another world. Here, warriors, wizards, and elves accompany him on quests delving deep into dungeons, and Saito realizes for the first time what it’s like to be needed. After all, who other than the handyman could be trusted to open locked treasure chests or to repair his allies’ equipment? Beginning with a simple “thank you,” this is the story of an ordinary person’s fulfilling life.

A quick search reveals that there doesn’t appear to be a manga of this, which: BOO, but knowing the feedback-loop nature of the manga/anime ecosystem it wouldn’t surprise me if we got one as an adaptation after-the-fact, and I hope so because I am SUCH a sucker for this microgenre

Actually, the anime is based off of a manga (although the title of the manga is Handyman Saitō in Another World). Yen Press recently announced at its Anime NYC 2022 panel that it has licensed the manga for North American release.

Oh wild, the listing is already up for Vol. 1 under the Saito title, I’m shocked Comixology’s search parameters considered ‘Saitou’ different enough not to bring it up when I searched for that
