High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World Light Novel Series Gets TV Anime

posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda

SB Creative's GA Bunko imprint announced on Wednesday that a television anime adaptation of Riku Misora and Sacraneco's High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World (Chōjin-Kokoseitachi wa Isekai demo Yoyu de Ikinuku Yōdesu!) light novel series has been green-lit for this year. The staff opened a website and Twitter account for the anime.


The cast includes:

Shinsuke Yanagi (And you thought there is never a girl online?, Angel's 3Piece, The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done!) is directing the anime at project No.9, with series scripts supervised by Deko Akao (Noragami, Flying Witch, After the Rain). Akane Yano (And you thought there is never a girl online?, The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done!) is designing the characters.

Yen Press licensed the novels' manga adaptation, and it describes the story:

In Japan, there are seven superhuman highschoolers who are world-class geniuses in various fields ranging from governance to economics and beyond. On one fateful day, these seven wind up in a plane accident and wake up only to find themselves in another world.

Finding themselves in a foreign place where magic and beast-people are real, they immediately proceed to panic-or at least that's what would've happened if they were some run of the mill students!!

If anything, these seven are actually using their talents to do absolutely ludicrous things so they can go home...

"Let's take it easy, because if we really let loose, I'm pretty sure we'll end up destroying this world."

Misora launched the novel series with illustrations by Sacraneco in 2015. SB Creative's GA Bunko label published the novel series' seventh volume last June, and will ship the eighth volume on Thursday. The manga adaptation by Kōtarō Yamada launched in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine in May 2016. Square Enix published the sixth volume on January 25, and Yen Press published the second volume on January 22.
