Kodansha USA Publishing releases Yūri’s manga adaptation of the novel series digitally, and describes the story:
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. 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) then he ever knew.
Katsumi Ono (Beast Saga, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, Girly Air Force) directed the anime at BN Pictures, and Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Do It Yourself!!, Dropkick on My Devil! X, In the Land of Leadale) oversaw and wrote the series scripts. Masakazu Yamazaki (Augmented Reality Girls Trinary, chief animation director for Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma) designed the characters and was also one of the chief animation directors along with Akira Takahashi (Birdie Wing -Golf Girls’ Story-), Yumiko Hara (Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!), and Ippei Ichii (Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro 2nd Attack). Akira Kikuchi (Birdie Wing -Golf Girls’ Story-, Brave Beats) was the action animation director and Go Sakabe (Kizuna no Allele, Date A Live series) composed the music.
The anime premiered on January 11, 2025 on 30 channels in NTV’s network in Japan. The anime ran for two consecutive cours (quarters of the year). Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired, and is also streaming an English dub.
The anime will have a second season.
Kodansha debuted Unagi’s original light novel series in June 2021. Yūri’s manga adaptation debuted in June 2021 in Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket app.
