Wait - so am I understanding correctly that two different souls from different eras have been isekaied into the same body without pushing out the original personality? I'll give the series points for a creative conceptual twist, at least.

Imho, it feels moe like he accumulated the memories of three lives and developed multiple personality disorder instead. But yep all " souls" are conscious, they don't pass out when they are not in charge. And the high schooler actually feels a lot more like a salary man that I only remember it's a high schooler when it's explicitly said.

Overall it's more of a politics + adventure one, definitely fun,.especially if the anime does not mess up and simplify the female characters as they have some really fun personalities.

I didn't know it'd be popular enough to get an anime. Is the original work still ongoing?

What happens when all the active and conscious souls fall in love with different woman, time for some internal highlander action, there can only be one......

That's correct - the original Bard personality is in control most of the time, but occasionally he let's one of the other two take control. And there are scenes where all three talk with each other inside his mind. At least based on the manga adaptation.

I haven't read it in years, but I remember enjoying it.

I think so?

The last LN 14 came out in 2019. However, non serialised chapters have been posted on Alphapolis' site, the last chapter being in 2024.

I was waiting for an Anime adpation of this manga/ln for so long. Finally! This one is in my top 10, maybe even 5 AlphaPolis titles together with titles like Gate and The new gate. I hope somebody licenses the LN and the adaption will not be as bad as the one from The new gate.

AlphaPolis got a lot more good stuff in the tank: The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life, Dungeon Seeker, Rain, World Customize Creator, A Veterinarian in Another World, The Heroic Saga of Almadianos, The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero, Ordinary Soldier Dreams of the Past, Evil Dragon Reincarnation, Legend of the White Kingdom, The Boy Who Belongs to Group "B", and many more!

This sounds like a perfect show for Yuusuke Kobayashi to really flex his stellar VA chops with the different personalities.

Yes, multiple women have romantic feelings for him. If the anime will have 12 episodes three will be shown.
