The Ishura light novel series is inspiring a TV anime adaptation. A teaser trailer, two teaser visuals, and an illustration by the light novels’ illustrator Kureta have been released along with the announcement.
The anime will feature the voices of Yuuki Kaji as Sojiro the Willow-sword and Reina Ueda as Yuno the Distant Talon. The staff and studio were not announced.
Ishura began in 2019 and has six volumes as of July 2022. It was the winner of Kono Light Novel ga Sugai 2021’s tankoubon/novels category. The books are written by Keiso and published under KADOKAWA’s Dengeki no Shinbungei label.
Yen Press describes the plot as:
In a world where the Demon King has died, a host of demigods capable of felling him have inherited the world. A master fencer who can figure out how to take out their opponents with a single glance; a lancer so swift they can break the sound barrier; a wyvern rogue who fights with three legendary weapons at once; an all-powerful wizard who can speak thoughts into being; an angelic assassin who deals instant death. Eager to attain the title of “True Hero,” these champions each pursue challenges against formidable foes and spark conflicts among themselves. The battle to determine the mightiest of the mighty begins.
Ishura began as a web novel in Kakuyomu in May 2017. The light novels have inspired a manga adaptation by Meguri.
