Hirasaka himself is closely overseeing and co-writing the series scripts alongside Kenichi Yamashita, who has credits in “The tale of outcasts,” “Actually, I Am…,” “Hensuki,” and “MF Ghost.” The character designs are the work of Kazuhiro Fukuchi.
Viewers can anticipate the series to air on TBS and other channels in 2024.
The narrative of the novels revolves around Sōsuke Kaburaya, an impoverished detective who, during the course of tailing someone one fateful day, crosses paths with Sara Da Odin, a magical princess from another realm. Their shared journey leads them to cohabitate, with Sara quickly adapting to modern-day Japan.
Another visitor from Sara’s world, a resolute female knight named Livia Do Udis, embarks on a life of homelessness in this new world, unexpectedly finding joy in her new circumstances. The story primarily focuses on Sōsuke, these two spirited women from a different dimension, and a colorful ensemble of eccentric characters, including a rugged attorney, a spiritual leader, and a divorce agent.
Yomi Hirasaka and Kantoku initiated the light novel series in October 2021, with the fifth volume hitting shelves on July 19.
