Great news for fans of fantasy romance! The official account for Koshi Tachibana and Tsunako’s popular ‘King’s Proposal’ light novel series has just confirmed that an anime adaptation is officially underway. While specific details regarding the cast, production staff, format, or release date are yet to be revealed, the announcement itself is sure to ignite excitement among readers eagerly awaiting to see this magical world brought to life.
The ‘King’s Proposal’ light novel series has captivated readers since its debut in September 2021, with eight collected volumes published so far by Fujimi Shobo. Its popularity also led to a manga adaptation, currently serialized by Nemo Kurio in Square Enix’s Gangan Online. For those outside Japan, Yen Press publishes the official English version of the light novels, allowing a global audience to dive into its unique narrative.
The story itself is a thrilling blend of fantasy and high school drama. It centers on Saika Kuozaki, a breathtakingly beautiful and immensely powerful mage, who is humanity’s last hope against the ‘annihilation factors’ threatening to destroy the world every three hundred hours. In a dramatic turn, when Saika is gravely wounded, she entrusts both her extraordinary powers and her very body to an unsuspecting normal high school student, Mushiki Kuga, who stumbles upon her. However, inheriting such immense power doesn’t automatically grant control. To stand any chance of saving the world, Mushiki must attend a prestigious academy for mages, posing as Saika herself, all while desperately trying to keep his true identity a secret. This premise promises a compelling journey filled with challenges, humor, and a race against time.
