Ono Katsumi (Girly Air Force, Beast Saga, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5 Duel Scoop) is directing the anime at BN Pictures, and the anime will star Mineta Hiromu as Yuke, Inami Hana as Marina, Kawaida Natsumi as Silk and Hieda Nene as Rain.
The manga by Yuuri is an adaptation of the light novel series by Unagi Kousuke and Super Zombie. Unagi (Vaiken Ordo no Renkin Kenkyuushitsu) started the story in October 2020 on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website, and Kodansha published the first novel with illustrations by Super Zombie (Ossan Boukensha Kane no Zenkou) in June 2021 and the third in July 2022.
Yuuri adapted the novel series into a manga in June 2021 in Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket app, and Kodansha published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in October 2021 and the seventh volume in April 2024. The latest volume, number eight, will be released on September 9th, 2024.
As far as adventuring goes, supporting your party is a thankless job—even more so if you’re just a lowly red mage like Yuke Feldio. So, when he gets fed up with his A-rank party of total a-holes, he ditches them for some former students—a trio of girls who looove his company. The thing is, to conquer the world’s greatest dungeon and achieve his dream, he’ll have to teach these cuties a thing or two…and he may just learn there’s more potential within him (and them) than he ever knew.
