The new anime reveals its theme song artists and premiere date for October 4.
Kadokawa has confirmed that the anime adaptation of Hiro Oda’s light novel series 'Yowaki MAX Reijō nanoni, Ratsuwan Konyakusha-sama no Kake ni Notte Shimatta' will debut on October 4. The announcement included details about the theme song artists and additional cast members.
The opening theme, "Gōki MAX Sengen" (Grand MAX Declaration), will be performed by Konomi Suzuki, while the ending theme, "Yoake Made ni" (Before Dawn), will be sung by Miku Itō. This information was reported by Anime News Network, which also noted that a new promotional video previewing the songs has been released.
The anime adaptation is set to air on AT-X at 11:30 p.m. on October 4, with subsequent broadcasts on channels including Tokyo MX and Sun TV later that evening. Additionally, the series will be available for streaming in Japan on platforms such as d Anime Store, Hulu, U-NEXT, and Anime Hōdai, starting at 12:00 a.m. on October 5.
The production is directed by Nobuaki Nakanishi, known for works like "I Shall Survive Using Potions!" and "Shin Koihime Musō TV." The series script is overseen by Hiroko Fukuda, who has worked on projects including "Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!" The musical score is being crafted by Moe Hyūga and Natsuki Hamada at Kadokawa.
In a recent update, it was announced that Haruka Shiraishi, Shōgo Sakata, and Shōya Ishige will join the cast. However, the confirmation of character name romanizations is yet to be released, which may impact fan engagement as audiences seek to familiarize themselves with the new characters.
The anime's narrative centers on Pia, an ordinary grad student who finds herself reincarnated as a ten-year-old background villainess in an otome game. Her recollection of the game's plot compels her to ask her fiancé, Rufus Stan, to break off their engagement early, a decision that paradoxically deepens his interest in her.
Written by Hiro Oda, the series initially launched on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in January 2020, amassing nine chapters and two epilogue chapters. Kadokawa began publishing the series in book format in August 2020, with the most recent seventh volume released in April 2024. Moreover, a manga adaptation titled "Yowaki MAX Reijō nanoni" has been available since 2021 on Kadokawa's Flos Comic website, with its fifth volume published in February 2023.
The project has demonstrated commercial success, with a total circulation of 1.2 million copies, indicating a robust interest in the source material as well as potential viewership for the upcoming anime.
The confirmation of the anime's premiere date and theme song artists highlights Kadokawa's commitment to building excitement ahead of the series' launch. Given the popularity of light novel adaptations and the engagement of established artists for the theme songs, the adaptation of 'Yowaki MAX Reijō nanoni' is poised to attract a broad audience when it premieres. For fans eager to dive into this playful romantic comedy, the October 4 release offers a timely opportunity to engage with both the anime and its source material.
