The official website for the television anime for Bokuto Uno's Reign of the Seven Spellblades (Nanatsu no Maken ga Shihai Suru) light novel series revealed three more cast members for the anime on Friday.
All three newly announced cast members play faculty members at Kimberly Magic Academy:
Previously announced cast members include:
Masato Matsune (Chronos Ruler) is directing the series at J.C. Staff, and Shogo Yasukawa (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma) is overseeing the series scripts. Sōta Suwa (Combatants Will Be Dispatched!) is designing the characters. Kujira Yumemi (In the Land of Leadale) is composing the music.
Yen Press publishes the light novel series in English, and it describes the story:
Springtime at Kimberly Magic Academy, when new students begin their first year. One boy, clad in black robes with a white cane and sword strapped to his hip, approaches the prestigious school. This young man—Oliver—must form a bond with a katana wielding girl named Nanao if he's to survive the dangers he's to face at this school that is anything but what it seems!
Uno published the first Reign of the Seven Spellblades novel volume in September 2018 with illustrations by Ruria Miyuki. Kadokawa's Dengeki Bunko imprint published the eighth volume on September 10. The novel series ranked #1 in the 2020 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! (This Light Novel Is Amazing!) guidebook.
Sakae Esuno launched a manga adaptation of the Reign of the Seven Spellblades novels in Kadokawa's Shōnen Ace magazine in May 2019.
