The isekai series will arrive in October and will feature music by Hiroshi Takaki.
On Monday, it was revealed that the anime adaptation of the light novel A Gatherer’s Adventure in Isekai (Sozai Saishuka no Isekai Ryokōki) will premiere in October and will feature original music composed by Hiroshi Takaki, known for his work on franchises such as Witchy Precure!, AKB0048, and Butt Detective.
An isekai with unique abilities
The story follows Takeru Kamishiro, an ordinary employee who is suddenly transported to another world called Madeus, a place of magic and swords. Unknowingly, he has been blessed with abilities out of the ordinary: increased physical strength, advanced magic, and a powerful ability to track valuable objects.
Thanks to these “cheat” abilities, Takeru begins his new life as an adventurer, exploring this fantastic world with advantages that set him apart from the rest.
Production team confirmed
The series will be directed by Yoshinori Odaka in a collaboration between Tatsunoko Production and Synergy SP studios. The script will be in charge of Gigaemon Ichikawa, while the character design is by Mayumi Watanabe. The overall production is in the hands of GENCO.
An award-winning work
The original light novel, written by Masuo Kinoko, debuted in December 2017 through the AlphaPolis platform. It currently has 16 published volumes, the most recent released on March 17. The series has reached 1.73 million copies in circulation, including digital editions.
In addition, she was recognized with the Grand Prize and the Audience Award at the ninth edition of the AlphaPolis Fantasy Novel Prizes, consolidating her popularity among Japanese readers.
Manga also growing
The manga adaptation, illustrated by Tomozo, began publication in November 2018. Its most recent volume, the eighth, was released on August 20. Currently, the publisher Alpha Manga publishes the English version for international audiences.
With a classic isekai plot bolstered by solid production and music by a veteran composer, A Gatherer’s Adventure in Isekai promises to be one of the standout releases of next fall.
