Toowa’s novel The World’s Strongest Rearguard: Labyrinth Country’s Novice Seeker is officially getting a TV anime adaptation. To celebrate the announcement, two commemorative illustrations were released: by light novel illustrator Huuka Kazabana and another by manga artist Rikizo.
The series has been released in nine volumes under KADOKAWA’s Kadokawa BOOKS label, with total circulation surpassing 1.7 million copies. A manga adaptation illustrated by Rikizo is currently serialized in Kadocomi.
Yen Press publishes both the light novel and the manga in English, introducing the former with the following description:
Corporate slave Arihito Atobe’s death in a freak bus accident marks the beginning of his new life as a kind of adventurer called a Seeker. Reborn into a fantasy world, he settles into a previously unknown job class called “rearguard,” capable of providing his (all-female) party with critical attack, defense, and recovery support. And it comes with an added bonus: Simply being at the back of the party line increases his companions’ fondness for him! Freed from the shackles of corporate life, Arihito is eager to start fresh as a newly minted Seeker!
