The upcoming TV anime Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash is based on the light novel written by Honobonoru500 and illustrated by Nama. The series originally started on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website in November 2018 and TO Books picked it up in 2019. A manga adaptation by Fukino was launched on TO Books’ web manga site Comic Corona in February 2020.
Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing both light novel and manga in English and they describe the plot as:
In Ivy’s world, stars are everything. She’s a Tamer, born to subdue monsters and animals, but she was also born starless! With her life in danger, Ivy flees into the forest where she befriends a weak little slime named Sora—the one creature she can tame. Together, the unlikely pair set off on a journey, salvaging rubbish to survive. Along the way they’ll win hearts, evade danger, and discover there’s more to starless Ivy than meets the eye!
