The anime will premiere in October on the "Animazing!!!" late-night anime block on ABC TV, TV Asahi, and their 24 network of affiliates throughout Japan. The anime adaptation lists Miwa Narumi's manga adaptation as the original work.
The "isekai buddy fantasy" story centers on the healer Raust and the martial artist Narusena. Raust is a member of a first-rate party, but he can only use the low-level magic "heal." The story follows Raust as he finds friends who recognize him and as he rises up in the world.
Kagekinoko launched the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in May 2018, and the latest update was in December 2022. Futabasha published the fourth novel in print in August 2020.
Narumi's manga adaptation runs on Futabasha's Gaugau Monster website. Futabasha published the eighth volume on December 28.
