Many people are now expecting that the release of the tenth volume on June 15, 2025, could signal the beginning of an anime series. Having worked its way, slowly but surely, up the list for quite some time, the news that the series had reached its end now seems quite apropos.
The anime is particularly praised for the engaging plot and the characters’ dialogues all along;Kizetsu Yuusha to Ansatsu Himeis an interesting synthesis of the fantasy and comedy genres. With the recent announcement from different sources and with the discussions for the adaptation already in motion as per some information online doing the rounds, the manga fans are more anticipating it.
What Might Be Considered Heaven for Some
Could Be Hell For Others
The manga publication authored by Norishiro-chan and illustrated by Yukiji Setsuda began in 2022 at Weekly Shōnen Champion. It sets the story of Toto, anendearing yet very powerful protagonistwho is altogether bad at putting together a good group of friends. It, well unfortunately or some might say luckily, turns around when three beautiful women, Ciel, Anemone, and Gore, accompany him. However, these seemingly loyal companions have a hidden agenda: they are assassin princesses, in fact, who are hired to assassinate him. The flavor of comedy, post-betrayal, and sheer action is what defines the story’s popularity.

Setsuda takes a prominent place as the illustrator of the series, and one of the distinctive features of the series is the diligence of the illustrations. The art style ismore than suitable for the silliness and speedat which the story takes place, as well as the smooth transitions between the humor and action of the series and the serious life-and-death stakes of the battles. In this case, it is the combination of narrative and pictures that has played a big part in the increasing popularity of the manga.
Why an Anime Adaptation Makes Sense
Couldn’t be a More Perfect Timing
Speculation about the anime adaptation is connected with the comics' popularity in combination with their humor and action. Audiences are interested in how the events from superior storytelling, fancy animations, and superb soundtrack interactions map into an anime adaptation, especiallywhen the narrative gets violentand the characters are prone to using methods of comedic timing.
WithKizetsu Yuusha to Ansatsu Himeapproaching its end, an anime adaptation is more than suitable as the transition between the two formats. The current Volume 9, if released early next year as the publication has indicated, stands the best chance of being used to build up the adaptation as a means of building the manga’s readership towards its conclusion, as well as to the anime’s beginning.
