Why it matters
A two-minute preview released months ahead of the January 2027 broadcast is the earliest look at how Studio Palette and director Yuki Inaba plan to handle a light novel that has been running since 2021.
Yuki Inaba directs at Studio Palette and handles series scripts. The novel started on Kakuyomu in 2021, and the kanco manga adaptation runs on Novema and Manga Zegra, with a sixth compiled volume shipped on June 26.
The preview arrives well before the January 2027 broadcast, giving the production its first public footage. Yuki Inaba, who directed KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World, is directing at Studio Palette and writing the series scripts. Alongside the leads, the adaptation draws on a light novel that Sakakibara launched on Kakuyomu in 2021, published in a single volume by Starts Publishing in 2022 with illustrations by Hatori Kyoka. The manga by kanco followed in 2023 and now runs on two Starts Publishing sites. The sixth compiled volume shipped on June 26.
