A new manga series titled "The Middle-aged Hero Starts a Slow Life as a Blacksmith" was released today, October 25, in COMIC Ark. Drawn by Fumio Mio and illustrated by Nobuyuki Enno, the story follows an office worker named Hyenji who is suddenly summoned to another world as a hero.
Hyenji, who is dubbed a "decorative hero" due to his lack of heroic abilities, works as a blacksmith in the royal palace while waiting for the next true hero to be summoned. After 15 years, a real hero finally appears, and Hyenji is relieved of his duties. He is then sent to a remote forest inhabited by divine beasts and spirits. There, he encounters a sacred dragon named Cruel, whose wounds he heals. After the treatment, Cruel transforms into a young girl.
The manga depicts how Hyenji, together with the now-human Cruel, enjoys a leisurely life while running a blacksmith shop in the forest.
