Cruel adventurers banished Rein Garland from his party, making him the newest member of the unfortunate “banished from the party/guild” club. His story is a bit different, though: half the people in the story are just stupid. The series mixes slapstick comedy and meta references with darker tones like murder, torture, and toxic behavior like gaslighting and abuse. That makes it all the sweeter when they get what’s coming to them. We’ll see Rein blaze a new path in life and get even with his former comrades when The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life (Tsuihou sareta Cheat Fuyo Majutsushi wa Kimama na Second Life wo Ouka suru. Ore wa Buki dake ja Naku, Arayuru Mono ni “Kyouka Point” wo Fuyo Dekiru shi, Ore no Ishi de Itsudemo Kouka wo Kaijo Dekiru kedo, Nokotta Hitotachi Daijoubu?, or Chii Fuyo) premieres sometime in October 2026.

The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life with Cute Adventurers
Rein Garland is an overworked and underappreciated reinforcement mage for one of the most powerful adventurer guilds. His boss decided that they could cut costs and fire him without a care in the world. After the boss tossed him out (literally), Rein hits the road and recalls all of the reinforcement points he has used for the guild, all 13,033 of them, leaving their gear near worthless for adventurers.
The Blue Crystal guild scouts him as an unfortunate adventurer who needs a home. Rein teams up with the reclusive S-Rank adventurer Lily Flambert to test his mettle against a dragon. He manages to slay it with a reinforced copper dagger with one throw, proving his cheat-level powers. His next trick is to help Lily come to terms with her last quest, the one that saw her as the sole survivor of a dragon attack. A victim’s sister plots her demise even before discovering the truth.
