About
the franchise
The story
follows Orn, a young swordsman who, in an effort to be more useful
to his group known as the Hero Group, decides to change his combat style,
become a mage, and develop his own magic. However, his efforts are not valued
and his childhood friend and leader of the group, Oliver, expels
him under the mockery of being a "jack of all trades, master of
none". Far from giving up and with his replacement already taking his
place, Orn decides to work alone as an explorer, meeting new allies and
determined to use his wide repertoire of skills to become the strongest
adventurer of all.
The
original work, written by Itsuki Togami and illustrated
by Yuri Kisaragi, began publication as a web novel in February 2021
before making the leap to physical format under the Kodansha publishing
house, reaching its ninth volume. The franchise inspired a manga adaptation
illustrated by Yonezou, which released its eighteenth compilation
volume this month, driving the brand's total sales to surpass an impressive 5.2
million copies in circulation.
