  • Teaser Visual: A gripping artwork shows Arel—branded “jobless” at age ten—standing alone on a windswept plain, sword in hand, his expression steeled by resolve. It perfectly captures the series’ core theme: a hero forging his own path without the crutch of a granted class.

Key Visuals:


Production Staff:

  • Director: Kaoru Yabana (known for dynamic action direction)

Main Cast

The series will feature familiar voices bringing these characters to life:

  • Arel: Kenshō Ono (Giorno Giovanna in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), whose performance promises both grit and subtle humor

  • Laina: Saori Hayami (Yumeko Jabami in Kakegurui), lending warmth and wisdom as Arel’s steadfast friend

  • Lilia: Sumire Uesaka (Jibril in No Game No Life), bringing playful energy to the spirited swordswoman


Born to the famed Sword Princess and Magic King, Arel was expected to receive a powerful class and skills at the fabled age of ten. Instead, he was branded “無職” (“jobless”) when no class appeared—a source of scorn and pity from those around him. Unwilling to accept defeat, Arel dedicates himself to relentless training, determined to prove that sheer will can outshine any innate talent
