Light Novel 'Ishura' Gets TV Anime Adaptation
Kadokawa opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Keiso's Ishura light novel on Sunday, revealing two lead cast, two teaser visuals (pictured), and a teaser promo.
Yuuki Kaji (Shingeki no Kyojin, Nanatsu no Taizai) is starring as Yanagi no Tsurugi no Soujirou. Reina Ueda (SSSS.Gridman, Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note) is voicing the character Tooi Kagizume no Yuno.
Keiso originally began penning the action fantasy novel on the Kakuyomu website in June 2017, followed by Shousetsuka ni Narou the following month. Kadokawa began publishing the series with illustrations by Kureta under its Dengeki no Shin Bungei label in September 2019. The sixth volume shipped last July, with the seventh volume scheduled to be released on February 17.
Meguri began drawing a manga adaptation in Monthly Shounen Magazine in March 2021. Kodansha published the second volume in December 2021.
Yen Press licensed the light novel in English in September 2021 and shipped the second volume in September 2022. The third volume is planned for a March 21 release.
Ishura placed first in the tankobon category in the 2021 Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! rankings, receiving the most votes of any series in the guidebook's history. The light novel placed fifth in the same category in the 2022 edition.
Synopsis
In a world where the Demon King has died, a host of demigods capable of felling him have inherited the world. A master fencer who can figure out how to take out their opponents with a single glance; a lancer so swift they can break the sound barrier; a wyvern rogue who fights with three legendary weapons at once; an all-powerful wizard who can speak thoughts into being; an angelic assassin who deals instant death. Eager to attain the title of "True Hero," these champions each pursue challenges against formidable foes and spark conflicts among themselves. The battle to determine the mightiest of the mighty begins. (Source: Yen Press)
