The official Twitter account of Hobby Japan’s HJ Bunko imprint announced on Monday that Hayaken’s Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire (Eiyū-Ō, Bu o Kiwameru Tame Tensei-Su: Soshite, Sekai Saikyō no Minarai Kishi) light novel series has an anime adaptation in the works.
Hayaken began serializing the original novel story on the Shōsetsu ni Narō (Let’s Be Novelists) website in March 2019, and Hobby Japan’s HJ Bunko imprint will publish the sixth print volume with illustrations by Nagu on December 1.
The light novel series already inspired two mini anime shorts last November, but Monday’s anouncement distinguishes the new anime adaptation from the mini anime.
In the mini anime, Akari Kitō voices Inglis, and Ai Kakuma voices the close childhood friend Rafinia (also known as “Rani”).
