An Adventurer's Daily Grind at Age 29 Vol. 1 Blu-ray

The long-awaited television adaptation of a series with more than 1.6 million copies in circulation.

The long-running favourite serialized in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine since 2016 receives its eagerly awaited television anime adaptation. The original An Adventurer's Daily Grind at Age 29 has been serialized in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shonen Magazine since 2016 and has surpassed 1.6 million copies in circulation. One day Hajime, an adventurer raised in the slums, encounters Rirui, a girl about to be eaten by a slime inside a dungeon. Unable to abandon a child discarded by her parents with nowhere to go, he brings her home to live with him. The adventure fantasy woven by a single adventurer and a young girl finally comes to animation.

Lavish first-production extras fans will not want to miss were announced, including a jacket newly illustrated by main character designer Yoshihiro Nagamori and a special booklet with cast interviews, design materials and a manga report on the voice-recording sessions. These extras depend on the pressing supplied and are not guaranteed.

Story Hajime Shinonome grew up in the slums, desperately seeking strength to survive. Now he enjoys an easygoing life as the resident adventurer of Komai Village. During a dungeon quest one day he finds a girl about to be swallowed by a slime, the weakest of monsters. Her name is Rirui, and she has entered the dungeon alone in order to survive. Abandoned by her parents and with nowhere to go, she cannot be left behind: Hajime takes her back to his village, and they begin living together. A clumsy but caring bachelor adventurer and an honest, innocent girl set the stage for a bustling adventure fantasy full of laughter and, sometimes, tears.
