The original Hachinan-tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! novels are published by Kadokawa under their MF Books imprint. The story of the series follows Shingo Ichinomiya, a 25 year old employee with a trading company, who wakes up one morning in a different world with the body and memories of Wendelin von Benno Baumeister, the 5 year old, magically-gifted eighth son of a poor noble family that owns huge tracts of land in the frontier.
A dramatic new trailer has been published for Hachinan-tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! (“The 8th son? Are you kidding me?”), an upcoming TV anime based on the series of isekai fantasy light novels written by Y.A. and illustrated by Fuzichoco about a Japanese salaryman who finds himself reincarnated as the magically-gifted youngest son of an impoverished noble family in a world of magic and adventure.
The Hachinan-tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! TV anime is directed by Tatsuo Miura and features animation production by Shin-ei Animation and SynergySP.
