The Dekisokonai to Yobareta Motoeiyuu wa Jikka kara Tsuihou sareta node Sukikatte ni Ikiru Koto ni Shita (The Former Hero Who Was Called a Failure Lived A Life of His Own Due to Being Kicked Out of His Home) light novel series is getting a TV anime adaptation. A teaser visual has been released.
The DekiSoko adaptation will be directed by Kazuomi Koga (Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible, Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 1 and 2) with Rintarou Ikeda (Insomniacs After School) as series composer, Yoshiki Ookusa (The Vampire Dies In No Time) as scriptwriter, and Saori Hosoda (Phantom of the Idol) as character designer.

The DekiSoko fantasy books are written by Shin Kouzuki and illustrated by Chocoan. Five volumes were published between 2018 to 2020 under the TO Books Ranobe label. The plot sees Allen, the son of a noble family, being banished due to his failure in obtaining the “gift” of the gods. Allen, who is actually a reincarnation of a former hero who wishes to live a peaceful life, takes the opportunity to embark on a journey. However, his attempt is upended by a series of events like the failed assassination of his former fiance and getting involved in a dragon extermination alongside a female hero.
DekiSoko was originally a web novel that began serialization on Shousetsuka ni Narou in January 2018. The light novels have inspired a manga adaptation by Karasumaru.
