From Office Worker to Exiled Saintess
The story follows Rin Takanashi, a woman in her thirties who loves camping and tabletop RPGs. Summoned to another world as a saint alongside a beautiful high school girl, she is immediately cast aside when her skills, Motorhome and Survival, are deemed useless by the prince. Exiled and underestimated, Rin soon discovers her abilities shine in the wilds of this new world.
Using her skills, she summons the motorhome of her dreams and begins a solo journey filled with cooking, exploration and unexpected friendships. What starts as exile becomes a gourmet roadtrip across a fantasy landscape.

The original novel began in 2019, followed by a manga adaptation illustrated by Nana Kogami in 2020. With its mix of food, fantasy and gentle adventure, the series has built a dedicated fanbase eager to see Rin’s travels animated.
