'The Strongest Man, Born From Misfortune' Isekai Novels Get TV Anime

Starts Publishing announced on Tuesday that Fukufuku's Fuun kara no Saikyō Otoko (The Strongest Man Starts from Misfortune) novel series is inspiring a television anime. Zun Nakabayashi, who draws the illustrations for the novels and also draws the manga adaptation, drew the below illustration to celebrate the announcement.

"Fortune and Misfortune are two sides of the same coin?! Reverse any adversary and cease redemption!!" Siegbert is reborn after an unfortunate accident in his previous life. His new family is warm and welcoming... so much so it seems as though he may no longer be an unlucky person. In this world, he can finally live a quiet, peaceful life... or so he thought. It seems that he actually holds an insanely high luck stat in this new world...? "Every chance is a manifestation of good fortune. If you can cease the chances, your wishes shall be granted..." Conquering each "chance" granted by his good fortune, will he now cease redemption on the generational legacy this family has yet to fulfill?!

Fukufuku began serializing the story in the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in November 2020, where it is still ongoing. Starts Publishing released the first print volume of the story in March 2022, with illustrations by Zun Nakabayashi. The fourth novel volume shipped on March 28.

Nakabayashi launched the manga adaptation of the novels in Starts Publishing's Comic Glast online manga magazine on the publisher's Novemba website in October 2021. Starts Publishing will release the manga's eighth compiled book volume on September 26. The franchise overall has over 1.5 million copies in circulation.
