Ohmori began publishing the light novels with illustrations by Yasuda in January 2013 through the GA Bunko imprint of SB Creative. The publisher published the fifteenth volume in June 2019.
The play is inspiring a manga adaptation by Kunieda, which has been published in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine since August 2013. In addition, the novels also inspired an anime adaptation produced by J.C. Staff, directed by Yoshiki Yamakawa and scripts written by Hideki Shirane, released in April 2015. A second season directed by Hideki Tachibana premiered in July 2019, and a third season is slated to premiere in October.
Synopsis of Danmachi
Life in the city of Orario is never boring, especially for Bell Cranel, a naive young man who hopes to become the greatest adventurer on earth. After a chance encounter with the goddess, Hestia, his dreams become a little closer to reality. With their support, Bell embarks on a fantastic quest in the monster-filled catacombs of the city, known as the "Dungeon." Death lurks in every corner of the cavernous depths of this terrifying labyrinth.
Even on the surface, survival is an effort-earned privilege. In fact, nothing is certain in a world where gods and humans live and work together, especially when they often struggle to get along. However, one thing is for sure: a number of mistakes, triumphs and friendships await the fearlessly optimistic protagonist of this Herculean tale.
