Yuusha Party plot and other details
The light novel series for Yuusha Party is yet to receive an English release. However, an official synopsis machine-translated from the Shousetsuka ni Narou website, a self-publishing platform, describes the story as:
“Orn Doula, today will be your last day in the party.”
Since the party was lacking someone who could play the essential role of Enchanter, it was the quickly adaptable Orn who had converted from Swordsman to Enchanter. On a certain day, Orn, who belongs to the Hero Party, is suddenly informed by the party leader—"your skills are lacking, so leave the party." The other party members also insulted him as a "weakling" and a “jack of all trades but a master of none.”
After being expelled from the party and getting a fresh start, he decides to resume adventuring. This being so, he chooses to return as a Swordsman since he was an Enchanter only due to party circumstances. However, having been an Enchanter was definitely not a waste. His time in the Hero Party, knowledge, experience, and development of countless original magic will certainly nurture Orn into a swordsman of unconventional strengths.
Yuusha Party currently has an ongoing manga adaptation illustrated by Yonezou and serialized in Nico Nico Manga's ‘Wednesday Sirius’ since October 2021. No official air date or release window for the anime has been revealed as of yet.
