The fantasy story follows a boy named Light, who wants to be the greatest adventurer. He and his friend Lena eat skill fruits, which results in death if eaten more than once. Lena gains the Sword Saint skill and quickly becomes an S-rank adventurer, while Light gets the useless Nut Master skill, which only helps for nut farming. One day, Light accidentally eats a second skill fruit. However, instead of dying, he gains a second skill, Sword Saint.

Hanyuu debuted the story on the “Shōsetsuka ni Narō” website in May 2020, and the latest update was on June 7. Kodansha released one novel volume for the series in May 2022 with illustrations by Yasutaka Isegawa.

Air Matsukoto launched the manga based on Hanyuu‘s story with original character designs by Isegawa in July 2021 on Kodansha‘s Suiyōbi no Sirius website. Kodansha published the manga’s sixth compiled book volume on June 7.
