Staff and story
Hiroaki Sakurai (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., Di Gi Charat) directs at Studio DEEN, with Keiichiro Ochi on series composition. Zenjiro Ukulele adapts Hajime Watanabe’s original anime character drafts into the final character designs, and RYOSHI TAKAGI composes the music.
The story follows Bard Cornelius, heir to a noble house in the kingdom of Mauricia, who shares his body with two other souls: Sanai Oka, a penny-pinching Sengoku-era warlord, and Masaharu Oka, a modern high schooler who loves animal ears. With a samurai’s sense for money and battle and an otaku’s modern know-how, Bard starts climbing the ranks of his world.
Ryosen Takami’s original light novels, illustrated by Ririnra, began as a web novel before AlphaPolis published them in print from 2014. Honoji’s manga adaptation is available in English from One Peace Books in print and from Alpha Manga digitally, so fans can catch up before the January premiere.
