Manga hit From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman will be available today on WEBTOON’s English-language platform. Adapted from the light novel of the same name, the manga has been reformatted for WEBTOON’s vertical scroll format and in full color. It launches at 5:00 pm PT.
From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman follows middle-aged swordsman Beryl Gardenant, who has only ever accomplished one thing: running a humble sword-fighting dojo in the quiet countryside. But when he’s paid a visit by his former pupil, Allucia, he discovers that she has become an elite commander — and she’s not the only one of his students who’s a renowned warrior. Forced by Allusia to become a special instructor to the strongest order of knights in the kingdom, Beryl must confront whether he’s able to reach his full potential, even as an old man.
The story began as a light novel written by Shigeru Sagazaki and illustrated by Tetsuhiro Nabeshima before it was adapted into a manga with art by Kazuki Sato and an anime that debuted on Prime Video in April 2025. The From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman manga is published and distributed by Yen Press in the United States.
