Yūichirō Momose, renowned for his involvement in “So I’m a Spider, So What?” and “Infinite Dendrogram,” is overseeing the series scripts. Jun Shibata, known for works such as “Ninja Nonsense” and “The Skull Man,” is responsible for character design and serves as the chief animation director.

The anime’s opening theme, titled “Sen” (Flash of Light), is performed by Yoshino Nanjō, while the ending theme, “homeward journey,” is sung by Nagi Yanagi. J-Novel Club is releasing the English version of the light novel series. The story revolves around Belgrieve, an adventurer whose life takes an unexpected turn after a tragic encounter leaves him without a leg.

He discovers an abandoned baby girl while collecting herbs in the wilderness and names her Angeline. Angeline grows up to become an accomplished S-rank adventurer, but her ultimate desire is simple: to reunite with her father, Belgrieve.

MOJIKAKIYA initiated the web novels on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō platform in 2017, concluding the series in 2020. Earth Star Entertainment published the 11th and final light novel volume in November 2021, with a manga adaptation illustrated by Kū Urushibara.
