Nahuse's Rebuild World Light Novel Series Gets TV Anime

ANN's coverage of Anime Expo 2023 sponsored by Yen Press!

Kadokawa announced during a promo video watch party panel at Anime Expo on Sunday that Nahuse's Rebuild World light novel series is getting a television anime adaptation.

Kadokawa also revealed a visual for the anime in Japan on Monday, as well as two celebration illustrations from Gin (novel illustrator) and Kirihito Ayamura (manga artist).

Kadokawa will reveal more information at a Dengeki Bunko 30th anniversary event on July 15-16.

The pinnacle of human civilization has come and gone, leaving only ruins in its wake. Society and science now struggle to rebuild, rediscovering scraps of knowledge from powerful ancient artifacts that defy comprehension. These relics of the “Old World” can make the fortunes of those who find them—if ancient security systems and rogue bioweapons don't kill the relic hunters first.

Akira, a young street orphan, sets out to become one such hunter to escape his brutal life in the slums. Untrained, malnourished, and poorly armed, Akira would be lucky to make it back from the ruins alive—until an encounter with Alpha, a mysterious, ghostly woman, changes his fate forever. Alpha needs a hunter, and she's willing to train Akira to get one.

Will her support be enough to help a penniless kid from the slums climb to the top of a crushing and merciless world?

Kadokawa publishes the novels by Nahuse with illustrations by Gin (illustrator), yish (environmental artist), and cell (mechanical designer). Nahuse began publishing the novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2017 and the most recent chapter on the site was in 2021. Kadokawa began publishing the series in print in 2019. Kirihito Ayamura draws the manga, which launched in July 2019.

The novels ranked at #5 on the tankōbon rankings for the 2020 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! (This Light Novel Is Amazing!) guidebook
