There is a whole lot of demand for stories where the protagonist turns from zero to hero. Stories where once the protagonist was scorned for being weak, but he grows up to be the most powerful character in that fictional world. Such a story is the Yūsha Pātī o Tsuihou Sareta Bīsuto Teimā, Saikyō Shuzoku Nekomimi Shōjo to Deau or The Beast Tamer Who Was Exiled from His Party Meets a Cat Girl from the Strongest Race.
A manga getting an anime adaptation is a risk as the success of the anime will mostly rely on the story, and if it doesn’t meet the expectations, it might get canceled pretty easily. For a light novel to get a manga adaptation, the illustrator truly thinks the story is worth the effort, and it must be illustrated to tell the story to the wide public.
So, what if a manga that was originally adapted from a light novel gets adapted into an anime? The obvious meaning would be it’s that good of a story. Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta Beast Tamer is one such story. Originally published as a light novel, Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta Beast Tamer was written by Suzu Miyama and illustrated by Subachi. It garnered much popularity even when it made its debut on the online novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō in June 2018.
The publishing company Kodansha picked up the light novel, and since May 2019, they have published a total of eight volumes under their banner. Before long, the novel got a manga adaptation, and mangaka Moto Shigemura illustrated it. Since January 2019, the manga has been in circulation in Square Enix’s Manga UP! Website, and as of September 2022, it has been compiled into seven volumes.

Because of its success both as a light novel and as a manga which is rising in popularity, the story finally got an anime adaptation produced by EMT Squared. And as the premiering date of Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta Beast Tamer’s anime debut is drawing near, here are some interesting details about the show.
What Is Yuusha Party Wo Tsuihou sareta Beast Tamer About?
The title of the story, The Beast Tamer Who Was Exiled from His Party Meets a Cat Girl from the Strongest Race, or The Beast Tamer for short is the show’s description.
We follow the story of our protagonist, Rein Shroud, whose ability is to tame beasts and make contracts with them. Even though he was part of the hero’s party, he didn’t originally have any combat skills other than the taming skill and could only perform basic fire and healing spells. As he was considered the weakest in a party full of powerful individuals, Rein was expelled from the hero’s party.
After the expulsion, Rein didn’t have anything else to do and decided to look for a job as an adventurer. It was then he met with Kanade, a member of the cat race who was considered one of the strongest races. Rein rescued a cornered Kanade from a Killer Tiger. As he was her savior, Kanade offered to make a contract with him.
As Rein accepted her offer, he realized something astonishing about himself. He discovered that when he made the contract with Kanade, who was a part of one of the strongest races in the world, he acquired some of her powers, such as superhuman strength.
Rein was someone who had already accepted his shortcomings and had decided to move on. But he was astonished by the discovery. Now that he got new powers, he had the opportunity to get even more powerful, and so he set out to explore these newfound opportunities.
Hence, Rein began his journey with Kanade as his companion. They met countless new friends and foes throughout their journey and even made contracts with some of them. And after each new contract, Rein acquired more and more abilities, steadily becoming powerful. More powerful than the strength of his former companions, the Hero party combined!
