Join Asahi and his one-hit kill sister with a brother complex in another world.
The official Twitter account for the My One-Hit Kill Sister anime revealed the series’ ending theme song and announced its April 8 premiere on Saturday. Crunchyroll has licensed the anime and will stream it as it airs.
The story follows a high school student, Asahi Ikusaba, who somehow gets lost and ends up in another world. Asahi possesses knowledge, but not strength. He knows about video games and fantasy worlds, but he lacks muscle and any “cheat abilities.” Luckily for him though, he finds his sister, Maya, in the other world. In this world, Maya has the strongest cheat ability, as well as a brother complex. Although the general plot of the series is known, the story section on the My One-Hit Kill Sister anime’s website is still blank.
My One-Hit Kill Sister will premiere on Tokyo MX on April 8 at 10:30 pm JST, but other channels such as BS Fuji will also air the series. Hiroaki Takagi, who was in charge of the key animation for Made In Abyss and many other anime series, is directing the anime at Gekkō, and Yōhei Kashii is in charge of the scripts. Yūji Hamada is doing the character design, and Maho Tanabe is doing the sub-character design. Kenichi Kanagawa is in a staff role we don’t see often, he’s credited for monster design.
Previously announced cast members include Yuki Sakakihara as Asahi Ikusaba, Karuka Shiraishi as Maya Ikusaba, Ami Koshimizu as Kilmaria, Rio Tsuchiya as Tanya, Azumi Waki as Sophie, Sora Tokui as Gloria, Komoni Kohara as Kuon, and Yūma Uchida as Siegfried.
The upcoming show is a TV anime adaptation of a web novel series by the same name, written by Konoe. The series was first serialized in December 2019 on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō. The novel series can only be found in digital format as no print version exists yet. In March 2020, a manga adaptation of the novel series with art by Kenji Taguchi was serialized online via Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry website, and in print in the Monthly Sunday Gen-X magazine. The manga chapters have been collected into nine tankōbon volumes.
