Based on Shaoh's manga, which started serialization in Kadokawa's Dra Dra Sharp# online magazine in 2021, I’m Dating a Dark Summoner revolves around Amona, a demi-human dark summoner, who utilizes dark powers in a world filled with conflicting moralities. The story takes an unexpected twist as Amona joins forces with the righteous cleric Roni, leading to unexpected developments between the two characters. This unique blend of fantasy adventure and romance suggests a multifaceted storyline, appealing to various segments of the anime audience.
Seiya Miyajima, known for his work on Umayon and BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico, is directing the series and also overseeing the script. Character design is managed by Takahiro Sasaki, ensuring that the visual presentation complements the rich storytelling.
The production is handled by WWWave Corporation's Deregula anime label, which has previously worked on various anime projects. As a creator behind the ComicFesta web manga service and the AnimeFesta programming block, WWWave’s involvement indicates a commitment to high-quality anime production.
As the manga continues to gather attention, with Kadokawa set to release its eighth volume on October 9, the show’s October premiere will likely pique viewer interest and potentially drive further manga sales at retail.
