The light novel series Yuukyuu no Gusha Asley no, Kenja no Susume by author Ichinisan is receiving a television anime adaptation. A first teaser image has been released for this announcement. The series combines fantastic adventure with comedic elements.
The story follows the young mage Asley, who long ago was expelled from the magic university due to a lack of talent. During one of his experiments, he accidentally created the "Drop of Eternity," an elixir that granted him and his faithful companion, the dog Pochi, immortality. Subsequently, he spent about 5000 years researching magic as a hermit. When he and his talking animal companion Pochi finally decide to explore the world again after this long time, they discover that knowledge of true magic has largely been lost in the world. Asley's ancient arts and knowledge appear to people like the abilities of a legendary sage. Together, they experience adventures that eventually lead them back to a magic academy.
The original work is a completed light novel series by author Ichinisan with illustrations by Kotoshi Mutō. A total of 14 volumes have been published. Based on this source material, an ongoing manga adaptation, drawn by Fūu Araki, has been serialized since 2017. It is also published in English under the title The Eternal Fool's Words of Wisdom: A Pawsitively Fantastic Adventure.
Author Ichinisan has expressed gratitude to the readers in a reaction and shared his joy about the upcoming adaptation of his story into an animated series.
