The anime was previously slated to premiere this October. Crunchyroll will stream the anime.
Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga digitally and describes the story:
16-year-old Yukito Kirihara lives with his 14-year-old sister Sana, who he treasures more than anyone else. But when an ogre shows up outside of his window looking for Sana (a shocking event in its own right), Yukito leaps to save her—and is killed. He's offered the promise of reincarnation by a mysterious woman, who gives him a character sheet in a mysterious book. But when Yukito sees Sana in there, too, he sets off to find her, and save them both—even if he only has 1 hp with which to do it!
The anime stars:
- Kazuki Ura as Yukito Kirihara
- Kana Yūki as Charlotte R. Brownia
- Yui Ishikawa as Lumilia Sherwood
- Kaori Maeda as Liverna Dark
Kei Yoshimizu (Zumomo to Nupepe) and Naoya Fukushi (Kaito × Ansa) are directing the anime at Durandal. Hiroshi Hosokawa is in charge of series scripts, Mamoru Yokota and Yui Katō (Kaito × Ansa) are designing the characters. Katō is also the chief animation director.
Shimizu and Aogiri launched the manga on Nico Nico Seiga and Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine's "Suiyōbi no Sirius" website in February 2019. Kodansha published the manga's 12th volume on June 9.
