The short anime adaptation of Shaoh's manga I'm Dating a Dark Summoner! is set to premiere on television in October 2026, with HIDIVE streaming it as part of its fall simulcast lineup.
The short anime adaptation of Shaoh's manga I'm Dating a Dark Summoner! was first announced in May 2026 for a television premiere that year. WWWave Corporation's Deregula anime label is producing the series. The fantasy romance manga, which began in Kadokawa's Dra Dra Sharp# online magazine in 2021, has seven compiled volumes as of March.
In June 2026, the main cast and staff were revealed. Rei Takano voices Amona, a demi-human dark summoner, and Yūki Nishiyama voices Roni, a righteous cleric. Hōden Tei Senmai plays Imp. Seiya Miyajima, known for Umayon and BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico, is directing, overseeing, and writing the series scripts. Takahiro Sasaki, who worked on Chronicles of the Going Home Club, is the character designer and chief animation director.
Later that month, HIDIVE announced it would stream the series starting in October 2026 as part of its fall simulcast lineup. The short-form format and the studio's focus on niche, experimental titles reflect HIDIVE's strategy of differentiating its catalog from mainstream seasonal offerings. The story follows Amona and Roni, whose adventuring party forms and who share a passionate night together on the first day, setting up a chaotic relationship.
