ASMIK Ace describes the anime:

Stand and fight –

After a life defined by misfortune, Siegbert is reincarnated in another world as a “lucky one” blessed with extraordinary talent.

Surrounded by a warm and loving family, he spends his days in happiness – until fate begins to shift.

“I'll grow stronger, so I'll never lose anyone again.”

So begins an isekai fantasy about a boy who will rise to become the strongest.

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 in March 2025.

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 ninth compiled book volume on March 27. The franchise overall has over 1.5 million copies in circulation.

MangaPlaza is releasing the manga digitally in English under the title The Strongest Man, Born From Misfortune.
