The anime’s staff has also confirmed that the anime will star Toya Kikunosuke as Ein, Tohno Hikaru as Yuuri, Suzushiro Sayumi as Ursula, and Serizawa Yuu as Pina.
The anime is based on the light novel series by Ibarakino and Hitaki Yu. Ibarakino (Bouken ni, Tsuite Konaide Okaa-san!, Mudada to Tsuihou Sareta “Kyuutei Juui”) started the story in December 2019 on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website, and Kodansha published the first novel with illustrations by Hitaki (Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival) in September 2020. The third novel in the series was released on July 2nd, 2024.
Fuji Morohoshi adapted the novel series into a manga in July 2020 in Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket app. Kodansha published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in November 2020 and the 12th volume on July 9th, 2024.
In a fantasy world where jobs are god-given from birth, heroes are born, not made…and Ein’s job of “Appraiser” has put him about as far from the hero pedestal as possible. Used, abused, and eventually abandoned by his fellow adventurers, Ein decides it just isn’t worth going on… Lucky for Ein, though, the end may just be the beginning…and a new lease on life. Turns out, his “worthless” job may just be the key to becoming a hero after all…
