Why it matters
A greenlight confirmed roughly a week after the author's joke, with no studio, director, cast, or release format attached, leaves the 10th-anniversary project defined so far by a logo, a character sheet, and a commemorative video.

The manga began serializing in 2015. The production team contacted Amahara about a week after the afterword for the fourth volume was submitted, where Amahara had joked about a 10th-anniversary anime. The announcement included a title logo and a character sheet with three female knights.
A commemorative music video also went up on the project's new YouTube channel, cut from manga panels and set to a song performed by Yukika. An official X account and YouTube channel opened under the handle 33onakishianime.
The manga runs irregularly in two-page chapters, and it took three years to collect the 60 chapters behind the fourth print volume, which Flex Comix published on Jan. 15, 2026. Amahara drew the gag about a 10th-anniversary anime while preparing that volume's afterword. The story follows Kiga Mail, a 33-year-old royal guard captain who protects the 12-year-old Princess Emera, along with her second-in-command Hikae Mena and fellow captain Silvia. Amahara said in a statement: "I remember thinking, 'It actually came.'"
