Clover may have handled their initial issues with Thunder Pike, but there are still troubles ahead for the adventuring party. The newest cast addition to I Left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! presents a whole new sort of problem: an unwanted engagement.
Joining the cast in the next episode will be Shunsuke Takeuchi as Mastoma, the second prince of the kingdom of Salmutaria. As we’ve seen in recent episodes, Salmutaria is a male-dominated society, and Mastoma has a great deal of interest in Yuke’s female mentees.
Fans will recognize Takeuchi for his previous roles as Makoto Suzuki in Tokyo Revengers, the young Daisuke Jigen in Lupin ZERO, and Aoi Kaguragi in Kaiju No. 8.

Katsumi Ono (Skeleton Knight in Another World) directs I Left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! at studio BN Pictures, with Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Shangri-La Frontier) on series composition, Masakazu Yamazaki on character designs and Go Sakabe (Re:Monster) on music. The series is based on the light novels by Uenami Kosuke and Super Zombie. Kodansha publishes an English-language version of the manga adaptation both by the volume and simulpubbed on the K Manga app.
Crunchyroll streams the series and describes the story:
Yuke, a red mage, angrily declares that he’s leaving Thunder Pike, the A-rank party he’s been with for five years, because he’s fed up with being insulted and ridiculed by the other members.
While searching for a new party, he runs into his former students Marina, Silk, and Rain, and decides to join their party, Clover. Encouraged by their admiration of him as their teacher, Yuke leads them in completing several quests that show off his own extraordinary magic and skills while bringing out the girls’ abilities to their fullest.
Then, through an “adventure broadcast” by an artifact known as Camelot, Clover becomes well-known throughout society. The party’s dream is to conquer Achromatic Darkness, the most challenging dungeon of all, but as they take on other dungeons in hopes of eventually achieving that goal, they gradually become entangled in chaos that threatens the whole world…
