Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash (Hai to Gensou no Grimgar) is a Japanese light novel series written by Ao Jumonji and illustrated by Eiri Shirai, which began publication in 2013. A manga adaptation was serialized in Gangan Joker from 2015 to 2016. An anime adaptation produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Ryosuke Nakamura premiered in January 2016, and ran for 12 episodes.Haruhiro wakes up in a mysterious fantasy world, along with several other young adults. None of them can remember how they got there or any personal details aside from their names. They have no choice but to join the Frontier Army's Reserve Force, Crimson Moon, as volunteer soldiers. These volunteer soldiers act as freelance monster exterminators, killing monsters and turning in the loot for cash. Haruhiro forms an adventuring group with Yume, Shihoru, Ranta, Manato, and Moguzo. Unfortunately, they are very inexperienced and must struggle to kill even the weakest monsters.The light novels have been licensed for English release by J-Novel Club, which began releasing translated ebooks in December 2016, and by Seven Seas Entertainment for physical releases beginning June 2017.The story has entered its final arc as of Volume 15. However, in November 2023, the author had a Q&A session where he admitted that while the original plan was to finish around 20 volumes, he no longer has a solid answer on how many volumes are left. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: Haruhiro is arguably the only person safe from getting a death flag, given the story is told from his point of view, but everyone else in his party is fair game. Readers dread debating who might be next to die. Manato dies in Volume 1. Moguzo dies in Volume 3. Mary dies in Volume 10. She gets better. Barbara dies in Volume 15. Kiichi dies in Volume 16. Kuzaku and Setora in Volume 18. They get turned into undead by the No-Life King. | |

Rasputinian Death | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: Some of the early monsters Haruhiro and the others fight against take quite a few hits to be killed, though in this case it's because they're still fairly inexperienced with combat. Once they're more proficient at fighting, only bigger creatures take more than a few hits to die, and it often takes the entire group to bring it down. Death Spots takes quite a lot of effort from Haruhiro's entire group to bring down. No matter how many times he's cut, hit with magic and arrows, he doesn't seem to let up his pursuit of the adventurers. | |

Heroic BSoD: The main party suffers one after Manato's death. Without their leader, their teamwork and communication deteriorates. The boys head off to the tavern to drink, leaving the girls to grieve on their own. It takes an emotional confession from Yume to get Haruhiro to realize that they're not dealing with the situation very well. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Grimgar in general to newcomers from beyond the gate. Grimgar is a violent, dangerous world where the economy is controlled by guilds and people only look out for their own interests. EVERYTHING costs money to do, and none of Grimgar's locals have any charity or kindness in their hearts. Newcomers find themselves stuck in this world, with only 10 silver pieces and bare bones information about the world given to them, and are forced to risk their lives against dangerous monsters to earn money and survive. It's also impossible for them to find a safer job like baking or being a merchant. Remember that everything in this world costs money? The fee to join the guilds which control those professions is prohibitively high, and with only 10 silver pieces, the only guilds cheap enough to join are the adventuring and monster-slaying guilds! | |

A Shared Suffering | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_22cfc112 | comment |
A Shared Suffering: Haruhiro's party stick together, even when offered opportunities to join other groups, because of their suffering as weak and rejected adventurers. Together they were pathetic, so in the unlikely chance they'll survive to be strong and powerful, that will also be together. | |

Genre Deconstruction | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_23e32a30 | comment |
Genre Deconstruction: Of the multiple, "humans sent to and becoming trapped on a fantasy world that follows Role-Playing Game mechanics" stories. Grimgar's spin is if people who are NOT gamers get sent to such a planet, and fail to grasp mechanics quickly enough to avoid unnecessary death, they do NOT become ace combatants or charismatic figureheads. It frames heroes like Kirito, Momonga, and Shiroe having it significantly easier because they know what they're getting into, as opposed to people who never played (or remember playing) these sort of games. Haruhiro's party also do not become major players or establish an almighty guild that influences the fantasy world's outcome. They are the unnamed nobodies and underdogs that Kirito and Shiroe-style protagonists try to set free or keep from dying. | |

Fire-Forged Friends: They've endured death, humiliation, poverty, and misery together. Even the fiercest inter-party fighting or the promise of a better lifestyle will not tear them apart. Though no one says it aloud, they intend to succeed or die as members of their first and only party. | |

Pride Before a Fall: Manato died because the party become overconfident and challenged goblins stronger than usual, due to an earlier Rousing Speech he gave of their improvement. Manato was worried, but didn't want to contradict himself from just a few minutes ago. The same happened to Mary's party, only it involved kobolds. | |

Low Fantasy | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_319cc4d7 | comment |
Low Fantasy: The world of Grimgar. Magic exists but is more subdued and secondary than most examples of the fantasy genre: the majority of magic is focused on healing, and even Shihoru's darkness-based spells inflict only minor ailments on enemies as opposed to outright harm. People have to take normal jobs to get by and provide for themselves, and much of the party's time spent in town is spent doing mundane things like washing clothes and cooking meals. Money is hard to come by, with a single gold coin being incredibly valuable. The goblins are the only non-human race seen so far, and even they are implied to be raiding because they too are poor and struggling to get by, and even they spend their free time doing mundane things like playing board games and resting. Skirmishes are bloody, short affairs and have a stronger resemblance to modern-day Urban Warfare than to grandiose High Fantasy battles. Aside from the town priest making an off-hand mention of a curse upon the land that raises the dead as zombies, and kobolds that live in the cyrene mine, there aren't any other monsters to be found. This becomes a Subverted Trope. Grandiose magic and combat skills do exist, but are not taught or known by the guilds of Grimgar. Such overpowered techniques are lost knowledge, and only available to an elite few: perhaps no more than a few dozen in the entire world. The greatest fear, is that the No Life King is one of these individuals. His raise-undead magic that spans across the entire continent, as well as a possible self-resurrection spell, seems to indicate as such. | |

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_33b4e7f | comment |
Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Mostly played straight. Moguzo and Ranta don't wear metal helmets early on because they simply couldn't afford it. After Haruhiro expresses some concern about a potentially fatal blow to their heads, the two then get some better gear. But said new gear still doesn't cover their face. Actually pretty realistic as face covering helms are hard to fight in without training. | |

Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: In Haruhiro's group, all of the guys wield close-ranged weapons like swords and daggers. The girls use long-ranged weapons. Averted slightly as Yume primarily uses her knife. Even though she's supposed to be their archer. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Combat in Grimgar is difficult and extremely dangerous, as Haruhiro's inexperienced group quickly learns the hard way when they initially have trouble killing even the weakest monsters. In addition, earning money is critical and volunteer soldiers like them have to keep killing monsters daily in order sustain themselves. Finally, everything in Grimgar is just as lethal as anything in the real world, so lowering your guard for even one second can get you killed before somebody can heal you. Death is final in Grimgar. Despite its resemblance to an RPG, fallen comrades can't be brought back from the dead with magic or an item. If a teammate dies, then they're permanently dead. In addition, a cremation and funeral are quite expensive, just as they are in real life. Using the same tactics and attack patterns is foolish, because the enemies are highly intelligent creatures with their own language and culture. They eventually figure out the pattern to skills and spells humans use, forming their own counter strategies to neutralize them. | |

Annoying Arrows: Zigzagged. Some hits prove to be fatal, such as with Manato. But played straight in other scenes, where a goblin notices Yume's arrow in him. He then proceeds to pull it out and snaps the arrow in half, and doesn't seem to be slowed down much by it. | |

| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The Head Priest. He's blunt and detached when giving bad news, but offers covering the funeral fee for those who can't afford it. Considering Grimgar is a Crapsack World, his emotionless mannerisms likely stems from seeing death and suffering on a regular basis. Even when yelled at or grabbed, he doesn't fight back and quietly waits until everyone calms down. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_4ac8b81f | comment |
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Monster races on Grimgar are intelligent, and its quite telling that the No Life King was able to unite the monster races into an alliance to kill humanity. It's not really clear who started the war between the humans and the monsters, but given how the monster races refuse to negotiate with humans, mankind may not be the helpless victim it claims to be. It seems only elves and dwarfs are willing to maintain peaceful relations. | |

Drowning My Sorrows: The boys start to frequent the tavern after Manato's death. At one point, their table is littered with empty flagons and they're noticeably inebriated. Whether or not they're actually of legal drinking age doesn't seem to be an issue, since they're served alcohol without being questioned. Considering the males all refer to themselves with 'ore,' it seems unlikely they are kids. | |

Outdoor Bath Peeping: Ranta sneaks out to peek on the girls while they're bathing. Of course, he gets caught and manages to drag Manato and Haruhiro into it too. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: One of Mary's members in her last group does this so she and the other survivor could escape from Death Spots. Haruhiro likewise does this as well after Death Spots chases after them by climbing up the well they had just climbed. Fortunately for him, he's able to kill Death Spots quickly after they both fall back down a level. | |

Dying as Yourself: After Mary casts a spell to free her three former comrades from the No Life king's curse in episode eleven, the final one embraces his old friend with his left arm before turning to dust. This strongly suggests he remembered his old friend and was saying farewell as best as he could in his final moments. | |

No One Gets Left Behind: After Ranta falls back down to where Death Spots and the other kobolds are at, he tells Haruhiro to leave him behind. Haruhiro then starts formulating a plan to get back down to the fifth level so they can attempt to rescue Ranta before he's killed. Fortunately for them, he somehow managed to evade the kobolds long enough to escape into the kobold's farms. | |

The Social Darwinist: How society treat newcomers. They're given a brief introduction of the violent new world, several vague suggestions how to survive, then 10 silver pieces to purchase gear and obtain training. To be recognized as a productive member of society and learn more of the world's secrets, a person will need to earn 20 more silver pieces to purchase citizenship. Those who can surmount the hardship are tolerated. Those who cannot are merely deadweight. | |

In addition to the above, the Light Novel also includes Moguzo's death at the end of volume 3 and Ranta's betrayal at the end of volume 8. Volume 18 ends on a whopper. It turns out that Mary was able to return to life thanks to the No-Life King. Not the curse, the king himself, and he's been sleeping inside her ever since. | |

Our Goblins Are Different | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_9136471a | comment |
Our Goblins Are Different: Goblins in the series are intelligent creatures that have a bit of a social order, with upper-class ones taking wives and banishing those that lose to them in battle to the Old Town. The exiled ones are the ones most often seen, staking a claim to the surrounding area. They also come in different types. Mud goblins are the lowest kind, while proper goblins have pouches they use to carry valuables. Hobgoblins are roughly human-sized, but are dumb and used as servants. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Haruhiro is troubled when he realizes that the goblin that they're trying to kill is desperately trying to live. Goblins are considered the weakest monsters and are regularly hunted by adventurers. However, it has been shown that goblins have human-like qualities, such as the ability to use tools. Episode 8 really hammers this home, with goblins on break playing chess and card games, and the eyecatch shows a goblin captain petting rabbits. Goblins also have a diverse language, but much of it is higher or lower than the sound range humans can hear, so it only sounds like grunts and squeals. They're also fully capable of planning their own ambushes, using a variety of weapons and soldiers to attack Haruhiro's group. This results in Manato's death. Kobold even more so, as not only have we seen them farming, they also set alarms to warn about ambushes and have the technology to smelt iron for weaponry. The light novel reveals that several monster races are not native to Grimgar and suffer the same Trapped in Another World predicament as humans. | |

Friendly Fire Proof: Averted. Yume is specifically told not to fire arrows at enemies engaged with their comrades, as she might accidentally hit one of their teammates instead. So she ends up picking up some melee abilities as a result. And in a later fight, some goblins do end up hitting their own teammate, who seems to just shrug it off due to his immense size. | |

Came Back Wrong: The head priest warn Haruhiro and company after Manato's death that if they don't cremate the body, then it will be resurrected as a zombie servant of the No Life King in 3 to 5 days. In the anime, we're shown an example of this, when the three members of Mary's previous group attack Haruhiro and the others in episode eleven. Mary can suddenly cast mage spells just moments after being resurrected. Haru is too blinded by emotion to really think over how wrong that should be. | |

Subverted Trope | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_c145f69b | comment |
This becomes a Subverted Trope. Grandiose magic and combat skills do exist, but are not taught or known by the guilds of Grimgar. Such overpowered techniques are lost knowledge, and only available to an elite few: perhaps no more than a few dozen in the entire world. The greatest fear, is that the No Life King is one of these individuals. His raise-undead magic that spans across the entire continent, as well as a possible self-resurrection spell, seems to indicate as such. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: After Manato dies, the party needs a new cleric. Kikkawa recommends Mary, a trainee Volunteer Soldier that's looking for a party. Unfortunately, Mary is unwilling to cooperate with the others and butts heads with Ranta. She refuses to participate in battle, stating that she shouldn't be expected to since she's a cleric. She even refuses to heal Ranta's squirting leg wound, essentially telling him to suck it up. The rest of the party don't really like her either. | |

Lighter and Softer: The anime compared to the original light novel. No, really. The light novel goes into more detail of the Crapsack World (Moguzo gets his first 10 silver stolen), how much of an egotistical asshole Ranta is (he became a Dark Knight when the party needed a Warrior), and the way Renji's party was formed (Sassa basically offered her body to him for membership). All that happens in the first six chapters! | |

Shoot the Medic First | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_df858e81 | comment |
Shoot the Medic First: Priests, the White Mage class, are often targeted in battle. Enemies are generally smart enough to realize that killing the healer will seriously hinder the party's chances of survival. It's therefore up to the warriors and physical fighters to protect them. Too bad nobody told Manato's group that earlier. | |

I Will Only Slow You Down | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_e099f0de | comment |
I Will Only Slow You Down: The leader of Mary's previous group says this when he tells her and another member of their group to flee from Death Spots. Since he's too severely injured to escape with them, he decides to slow down the kobold so they can make a break for it. | |

Going Commando | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_e32c80d9 | comment |
Going Commando: Haruhiro and co. are forced to go commando when their underclothes start getting a little ragged. They can't afford to buy more clothes, so they try to avoid excess wear and tear on their undies unless they're going adventuring. There are quick cuts of Shihoru falling down in various episodes (such as the eighth and eleventh), that indicate she doesn't wear panties even after the party can afford them, assuming the shots aren't animation goofs. | |

Turns Red: Mary warns Haruhiro and the others that Death Spots grows stronger as he suffers more damage. After catching up to them, he manages to stop Moguzo's attack with one hand. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: None of the adventurers can remember anything aside from their names. It's an ongoing effect, too, as at one point it's noted that most of the time they've even forgotten the fact that they've forgotten something. | |

Naïve Newcomer: Haruhiro and the others have no idea how things work in Grimgar, being from another world. However, Haruhiro's group has it much worse in terms of battle experience. None of the members know how to fight very well or how to work together. | |

Role-Playing Game | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_f0f4b265 | comment |
Of the multiple, "humans sent to and becoming trapped on a fantasy world that follows Role-Playing Game mechanics" stories. Grimgar's spin is if people who are NOT gamers get sent to such a planet, and fail to grasp mechanics quickly enough to avoid unnecessary death, they do NOT become ace combatants or charismatic figureheads. It frames heroes like Kirito, Momonga, and Shiroe having it significantly easier because they know what they're getting into, as opposed to people who never played (or remember playing) these sort of games. | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: Haruhiro is subjected to this a few times, such as when Yume and Shihoru were cleaning their clothes in some skimpy outfits. Later his guildmaster rests on top of his groin. He gets a little distracted by not only her putting a lot of weight there, but then her asking him to start dating one of the girls in his group. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: Haruhiro's party for one another. Ranta is given an offer to join Renji's party. Yume and Shihoru are also offered to join an elite all female guild known as the Wild Angels. Although accepting would mean significantly greater odds of survival and a better lifestyle, they refuse on the grounds that leaving would place the others in a weakened position. It's similarly alluded that Manato turned down multiple opportunities and rejected them for the same reason. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: In her previous party, Mary was much more cheerful and encouraging. She healed any wound sustained by her party members and fought on the frontlines. When her party encountered a powerful kobold, three members of her group were killed. Mary was unable to help them because she had run out of magic, causing her to blame herself for their deaths. | |

Perpetual Poverty | |

Perpetual Poverty: Haruhiro's group is constantly low on cash because they can't defeat any monsters. Without killing monsters, they can't sell any loot from their kill and must carefully budget their money. | |
