The anime is based on the A-Rank Party o Ridatsu Shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu o Mezasu light novel series by Unagi Kousuke and Super Zombie and the manga adaptation by Yuuri.
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 fifth novel in February 2025.
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 10th volume in May 2025.
Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga adaptation in English under the name I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths, and so far, it has released the first five volumes. Kodansha USA describes the manga’s story below:
“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 just 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.”
