Kazuomi Koga is currently directing the anime series at Studio DEEN and Marvy Jack studios. Rintarou Ikeda is responsible for the series scripts, while Yoshiki Okusa is in charge of writing them. Saori Hosoda is the designer for the characters, and Kei Haneoka is composing the music. Aoi is the performer of the opening theme song for the series titled “Evolve.”
J-Novel Club holds the licensing rights for both the light novels and their manga adaptation, allowing for their distribution. They describe the series as follows:
Allen, once considered a "good-for-nothing" due to his low status and lack of a special talent, is stripped of his noble title and banished from the Duchy of Westfeldt. Despite this setback, Allen harbors a secret: he was a renowned hero in a previous life and is eager to embrace a life of freedom.
However, Allen's peaceful existence is disrupted when he unexpectedly crosses paths with his former fiancée in need of help. Despite his reluctance, Allen, still possessing the extraordinary powers from his past life, cannot turn a blind eye to someone in distress.
And so begins the new heroic saga our former hero never wanted!”
