Yuke Feldio’s story will finally be told on the small screen in the upcoming two-cour anime adaptation of I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths!, produced by Bandai Namco Pictures. So, to give a glimpse of what’s to come, the studio has now released an official preview for the new series, showing not just the adventure of Yuke and his party but also its cast and release window of January 2025.
You can watch the teaser trailer for I Left My A-Rank Party below:
The preview for the new anime starts with the lead character, Yuke, declaring that he wants to get the thunder pike away from him. The scene then shifts to the beautiful realm they are in while Yuke reveals his plans to leave his A-rank party and make his biggest dream come true with his former students. Marina then takes the scene.
The magic swordswoman offers her group to Yuke, wanting to show him how helpful she can be. Silk, the ranger/spirit user, is confident that they can do their best together with the guidance of spirits. Of course, this group would never have been complete without Rain. The priest/magician talks about an interesting artifact that could be of great help to them. As the party introduces themselves as the “Clovers,” they promise to do their mission with enjoyment.
The anime has also released a key visual for I Left My A-Rank Party, featuring the four main characters: Yuke, Marina, Silk, and Rain. The group lays on the grass as they reach the cloverleaf together above them.

What is I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! about?
I Left My A-Rank Party follows the story of Yuke as he leaves his A-rank party and looks for a new group.

You can read the synopsis for I Left My A-Rank Party by Kodansha USA below:
As far as adventuring goes, supporting your party is a thankless job—even more so if you’re just a lowly red mage like Yuke Feldio. So, when he gets fed up with his A-rank party of total a-holes, he ditches them for some former students—a trio of girls who just looove his company. Thing is, to conquer the world’s greatest dungeon and achieve his dream, he’ll have to teach these cuties a thing or two…and he may just learn there’s more potential within him (and them) then he ever knew.
The upcoming anime is based on the light novel series of the same title written by Kosuke Unagi and illustrated by Super Zombie. Serialized online on Shosetsuka ni Naro from October 2020 to August 2023, it was later acquired by Kodansha and published three volumes under its Kodansha Ranobe Books imprint.
It was later adapted into manga with art by Yuri and serialized online via Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket website since June 2021. It has collected seven tankobon volumes. Kodansha USA licensed it in English. Bandai Namco Pictures then adapted it into anime, premiering in January 2025.
As soon as the announcement was made, the series’ fans expressed their excitement about the anime adaptation of Yuke's story. With their heaps of praise for its manga and light novel series, they hope the anime will live up to their expectations.
