Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside

In this lighthearted fantasy manga from Yen Press, a former adventurer forcibly expelled from his hero's party settles into a quiet apothecary life in the countryside—only to find his peaceful routine disrupted by lingering ties to his past. Running since 2022 and spanning 14 issues so far, the series is best known for its adaptation of the popular light novel by Zappon, with art by Masahiro Ikeno. It matters as a gentle, slice-of-life take on the "banished hero" trope, focusing on healing, community, and second chances rather than epic battles.
