The anime will adapt the Mob kara Hajimaru Tansaku Eiyutan light novel series, written by Kaito and illustrated by Almic. The series started as a web novel in 2019, before being acquired by Hobby Japan in 2021. A manga adaptation with art by Terio Teri is currently ongoing.
The plot follows the story of Kaito Takagi, an ordinary student who is set in a routine life as an explorer in the dungeons that had manifested across Japan. His daily pursuit involves slaying slimes, a means to earn some pocket money, all while secretly harboring admiration for his childhood friend, the esteemed class queen. However, his mundane routine takes an unexpected turn when a previously unseen golden slime emerges before him. Upon defeating this unique adversary, Kaito stumbles upon a remarkably rare item of immense value – a servant card capable of summoning mythical beings. As he decides to summon a mythical creature using the card, a warrior maiden of unparalleled beauty materializes, altering the course of Kaito’s existence.
