Yūsha Party wo Tsuihō Sareta Ore da ga, Ore Kara Sudatte Kureta Yōde Ureshii. - ……Nanode Daiseijo, Omae ni Otte Korarete wa Komaru Nodaga? #1

The first volume of this light novel series, written by Suzuhito Akisue and illustrated by Aineya, debuted in early 2023 under the GA Bunko imprint. It belongs to the growing subgenre of fantasy light novels that subvert the traditional hero's party dynamic, focusing on a protagonist who finds unexpected relief and personal growth after being expelled from a group of legendary figures, only to be pursued by a powerful saint who misunderstands his desire for a quiet life.

The design of the series centers on a lighthearted, comedic approach to the 'expulsion' trope, utilizing character-driven interactions to emphasize the disconnect between the protagonist's modest ambitions and the intense, often comical dedication of his former companions. The artwork by Aineya was crafted to capture this whimsical tone, presenting the characters with expressive, approachable designs that helped the series gain traction within the competitive digital and print light novel markets in Japan.
