Togami launched Yūsha Party o Oidasareta Kiyō Binbō on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in February 2021, and the series received illustrations by Kisaragi that same year. The series is still ongoing, and Kodansha will release the eight volume in print on December 2. A manga adaptation by Yonezou released in October 2021, and Kodansha has published 16 volumes of the manga thus far.
The story follows adventurer Orun Dura, who was expelled from the Hero’s adventuring party by childhood friend and leader Oliver. Oliver mocks Orun for lacking skill and being a “jack-of-all-trades, master of none,” despite Orun switching from a Swordsman to an Enchanter to help the party. As a result, Orun leaves to prove himself as a solo adventurer and the strongest “jack-of-all-trades.”
