Takayuki Tanaka (Baldr Force EXE) is directing the anime at Jumondo, and Miya Asakawa (Shonen Onmyouji) is in charge of series scripts. Masayoshi Kikuchi (The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist In Another World) is credited as the main character designer, while Mayumi Fujita and Hajime Hatakeyama are credited for character designs, and Lo Ho Kim as sub-character designer. Kikuchi, Fujita, Hatakeyama, and Kim are also all credited as chief animation directors. Arisa Okehazama is composing the music.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga and released the fourth volume in English on August 12. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the manga:
Serafina de Lavillant, the strongest female knight in the West, was sent to subjugate the barbaric tribes of the East. But when her mission fails spectacularly, she's captured alive and imprisoned. Humiliated and dreading what horrific torture she'll endure, she asks to be put to death. To her surprise, rather than tearing her limb from limb, the tribe leader asks for her hand…in marriage! Will Serafina face a cruel and abusive arranged marriage? Or will she discover that these tribes aren't as barbaric as she was led to believe?
Kotoba launched the series in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in January 2021. Kodansha will ship the 10th compiled book volume on October 9.
