Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga adaptation by Morohoshi Fuji, and it describes the story:

In a fantasy world where “jobs” are god-given from birth, heroes are born, not made…and Ein’s job of “Appraiser” has put him about as far from the “hero” pedestal as possible. Used, abused, and eventually abandoned by his fellow adventurers, Ein decides it just isn’t worth going on… Lucky for Ein, though, the end may just be the beginning…and a new lease on life. Turns out, his “worthless” job may just be the key to becoming a hero after all…

Ibarakino debuted the novel series in December 2019 on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website. Kodansha began publishing the light novels with illustrations by Yu Hitaki in September 2020, and it released the fourth volume on February 28.

Fuji launched the manga in July 2020 in Kodansha‘s Magazine Pocket app. Kodansha published the manga’s 16th compiled book volume on June 9.
