Synopsis of Shinmai Ossan Boukensha
The “shōnen story aimed at middle-aged readers” follows Rick Gladiator, a guild employee who strives to become an adventurer. Common sense says that it’s best to start the adventurer’s path at a young age, as it takes training to gain magical powers. However, Rick is starting after turning 30.
Thanks to working with the Orichalcum Fist, a legendary group of the most powerful adventurers in the land, he has already lived an unimaginable life with high-level fighting skills. With skills honed by literal masters of the “Monster class,” from dragons to vampires, Rick faces off against one elite adventurer after another.
