Kadokawa announced that the novel Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shima , by Zappon and Yasumo will be animeized.
The absurdly long title can be translated as " I was kicked out of the hero's group because I wasn't a true comrade, so I decided to live a quiet life on the frontier ."
Furthermore, Zappon launched Shin no Nakama on the Shosetsuka ni Naro in October 2017, where it continues to this day. Kadokawa began publishing the story with illustrations by Yasumo in June 2018. Masahiro Ikeno launched a manga adaptation of the novel in Kadokawa 's Shonen Ace in May 2018, which has 25 volumes and over 1 million copies in circulation.
Ikeno created an illustration to celebrate the anime announcement:
Synopsis
In a fantasy world, a young girl with the Divine Protection of the Hero battles against the Demon Lord. In this world, Red, the heroine's older brother, possessing the Divine Protection of the Guide, which only grants him a high starting level, fought with the initial Hero group.
However, with a Divine Protection that only grants a high level, but without magic, martial arts, or supernatural ability, he gradually could no longer keep up with the battle, and in the end, a companion, a wise man, commented, "You are not a true companion," when he snatched all his equipment and kicked him out of the party with only a copper sword.
