Crunchyroll announced on Saturday that will stream the anime of Suisei's Yūsha Party ni Kawaii Ko ga Itanode, Kokuhaku Shite Mita (There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, So I Tried Confessing to Her) light novel series and Kairi's manga adaptation in India in 2026. The series will also debut in Japan in 2026.

Kairi's manga adaptation is credited for the original work.

The story centers on Yōki, a man reincarnated into a fantasy world. Yōki did not reincarnate as a hero or the demon lord, however, but as the demon lord's underling. When a hero's party attacks the demon lord's castle, Yōki is naturally there to fight against the heroes. However, when he sees the priest Ceclia who is part of the hero's party, he falls in love at first sight.

The series stars Kōhei Amasaki as Yōki and Kana Hanazawa as Cecilia.

Yasutaka Yamamoto (Medalist, Servant × Service) is the chief director, and Tomonori Mine (Isekai Onsen Paradise) is directing the series at Gekkō. Yukie Sugawara (Overlord, No Guns Life) is both writing and overseeing the series scripts. Mina Ōsawa (The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest, Reincarnated as the Daughter of the Legendary Hero and the Queen of Spirits) is adapting illustrator La-na's character designs for animation. Satoru Kōsaki (BEASTARS, The Apothecary Diaries) and MONACA are composing the music. Ryō Aizawa is the producer at Starry Cube.

Suisei launched the series on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let's Become Novelists) website in 2013, and the latest update was on June 12. Futabasha began publishing the manga in print with illustrations by La-na in October 2014, and published the third volume in August 2015.

Kairi launched the manga adaptation on Futabasha's Gaugau Monster website in 2021. Futabasha published the manga's 12th compiled volume on July 30.
