The anime is based on the isekai fantasy light novel series, written by Matsuri Akai and illustrated by Tozai. It was first published by Overlap’s Overlap Bunko imprint on November 25, 2017 and has released five volumes as of September 2025.
The series began as a Shosetsuka ni Naro web novel in January 2017. It also inspired a manga adaptation by Hiroyuki Aigamo in July 2018. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both the light novels and manga for release in English, and is also producing an audiobook adaptation.
Crunchyroll will stream My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s worldwide, and describes the main synopsis as:
Akira Oda and his high school classmates are summoned to another world! While the other students are granted cheat abilities through the summoning, Akira merely gains the abilities of a mediocre “assassin.” However, his status soon surpasses “hero,” the strongest profession. After Akira becomes suspicious of the King behind the summoning, he is falsely framed for a crime and forced to flee.
