Hobby Japan announced on Monday that author Metabo Hagure and illustrator masami's A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires (Buchigire Reijō wa Hōfuku wo Chikaimashita. ~Madōsho no Chikara de Sokoku wo Tataki Tsubushimasu~, also known as The Furious Princess Decided to Take Revenge) light novel series is getting an anime adaptation.

Hobby Japan will highlight the novel series in a talk show livestream on August 26 at 8:00 p.m. JST.

J-Novel Club licensed the light novel series and manga, and it describes the story:

Elizabeth Leiston, daughter of the influential prime minister, is a picture-perfect lady on the path to becoming the future queen of the Kingdom of Haldoria. But her life takes a sudden turn for the worst when her fiancé makes a show of publicly calling off their engagement. Soon after, he throws her in jail and starts spreading nasty rumors about her.

The encouragement Elizabeth receives from her loyal waiting maid, Mireille, and her inner fury are all she needs to reconsider her goals. Why should she continue devoting herself to a country that doesn't respect her when she can trample over it instead? She will get even with those who wronged her and bring down the damned kingdom, even if it's the last thing she does! Luckily, Elizabeth is no damsel in distress and has seven powerful magic grimoires she won't hesitate to use. Get ready because this ruthless lady is out for blood!

The web novel debuted in October 2020 on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website. The light novel series began in May 2022, and the seventh volume ships on Tuesday.

Imo Ōno launched the manga adaptation on Comic Fire in May 2022. The seventh compiled book volume shipped in Japan on April 1.
