King's Proposal Anime Sets 2027 Premiere With Rie Takahashi As Saika
The Date A Live creative team of writer Koushi Tachibana and illustrator Tsunako gets its second series on screen, and Aniplex is attaching Rie Takahashi and a 2027 slot before a studio or full staff has been named.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Aniplex announced on Sunday that the King's Proposal anime will premiere in 2027, with Rie Takahashi voicing Saika Kuozaki, the world's most powerful mage. A teaser visual was also released. The light novels, written by Koushi Tachibana with art by Tsunako, launched in 2021; Kadokawa ships the ninth volume on December 18 and Yen Press released the eighth on October 13. Nemo Kurio's manga adaptation ended in March 2025.
The teaser visual is the first look at the project, though Aniplex has not announced which studio will animate it. The manga adaptation, drawn by Nemo Kurio, ran on Gangan Online from February 2023 and closed with its sixth volume in March 2025, so the anime will arrive without a serialized manga running alongside it.
The source material is far enough along to build a season from: Kadokawa expects the ninth novel in Japan on December 18, and Yen Press is two languages behind that, having put out volume eight on October 13. The premise involves a powerful witch, Saika, who gives up both her powers and her body to a high school boy, Mushiki Kuga, who then has to pose as her at a mage academy.
