The Story of Hero Without a Class
The anime is an adaptation of Shichio Kuzu’s original light novel and manga series. The narrative centers on Arel, a young man born into a world where a goddess grants every individual a class and unique skills that dictate their life’s path. Despite his lineage as the son of a “Sword Princess” and an “Archmage,” Arel inexplicably receives no class or skills. Undeterred, Arel embarks on a journey to forge his own destiny, relying on sheer grit and natural talent to become a hero in his own right—a hero without a class.
Production and Japanese Cast
The anime series is directed by Kaoru Yabana, with Chabo Higurashi handling the series scripts and supervision. Studio A-Cat is responsible for the animation production. Kento Asahina composed the music for the series.
The Japanese voice cast includes Kensho Ono as Arel, Saori Hayami as Laina, and Sumire Uesaka as Lilia. Other Japanese cast members include Rumi Ōkubo as Kufa, Mai Nakahara as Farah, and Shinya Takahashi as Leon.
