Here’s a synopsis, as translated by Crunchyroll News:
Toto’s skills as a hero are the real deal, but due to his extreme shyness, he’s unable to form a party and remains stuck in the beginner town. Then, suddenly, three beautiful women named Ciel, Anemone and Goa invite him to join their party!
Toto’s motivation is high when he embarks on his long-awaited adventure, but his companions are full of desire to kill him?!
This is a harem DEATH rom-com about an extremely shy hero who passes out in the mere presence of women, and the three women who try to kill him for their own purposes!!
