Takata Masahiro (High-Rise Invasion, The Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch, The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World) directs the anime at Zero-G studios. The anime will star Ono Kenshou as Krai Andrey and Kubota Miyu as Tino Shade. The new cast members announced this week are Taichi You as Eva Renfield, Sekine Akira as Luda Lumbeck, Seki Kouji as Greg Zangief, and Maeda Seiji as Gibert Busch.
The anime is an adaptation of the Nageki no Bourei wa Intai Shitai: Saijaku Hunter ni Yoru Saikyou Party Ikusei-jutsu (Let This Grieving Soul Retire! Woe is the Weakling Who Leads the Strongest Party) light novels by Tsukikage and Chyko.
Tsukikage (Dare ni Demo Dekiru Kage kara Tasukeru Maou Toubatsu, Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou) started the story in January 2018 on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website, and Micro Magazine published the first novel with illustrations by Chyko (Skill Lender no Torikaeshi) in August 2018 and the 11th novel in February 2024. The 12th novel will be released on September 30th, 2024.
The light novels series also inspired a manga adaptation by Hebino Rei in April 2019 in Kakokawa’s ComicWalker magazine. Kadokawa released the manga’s first tankoubon volume in October 2019 and the ninth volume in February 2024.
It’s the golden age for treasure hunters—adventurers hungry for wealth, fame, power, and glory who risk their lives in treasure vaults worldwide.
Krai and his childhood friends swore to become the greatest, but that dream should have died when Krai realized he wasn’t cut out for the job! Yet expectations continue to mount along with Krai’s fear for his life. While his childhood friends climb closer to their dream, this grieving soul has one simple wish: to pack it all in and retire!
