The fantasy manga "Soara to Mamono no Ie" (English title: "Soara and the House of Monsters") by Hidenori Yamaji is being adapted into a TV anime. The series is scheduled to air in 2027, as announced by producer Kadokawa on July 1, 2026. An ultra teaser visual, a first teaser trailer, as well as the main cast and production team, were released with the announcement.
The story revolves around the orphan Soara, who was raised by knights and trained to fight monsters. However, just before her first battle, the war ends, and Soara loses her purpose in life. Searching for a new goal, she meets the dwarf Kirik, a talented "demon world architect" who, along with his group, builds custom houses for monsters. Together, they travel through the demon world and create dwellings—an endeavor that changes Soara's fate.
The main roles are voiced by Ikumi Hasegawa as Soara and Ayumu Murase as Kirik. The director is Takaharu Ozaki, who previously directed "Goblin Slayer" and "BASTARD!! -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy-". The series composition is handled by Ayumu Hisao, character design by Tomoko Iwasa, and music by Hinako Tsubakiyama. The animation is produced by Studio FelixFilm.
Original author Hidenori Yamaji expressed his excitement: "The fact that the series is now being animated is thanks to the loyal readers. I am overwhelmed by how many professionals work on this project every day—it feels like Soara, Kirik, and everyone are building a house together. I am sure it will become a wonderful 'house' (anime)."
The voice actors also shared their thoughts. Long Huimei (Soara) raved about the heartwarming story, which she compared to a picture book. Murase (Kirik) praised the originality of the source material and the detailed drawings. He noted that the recording sessions were always entertaining due to the many guest voice actors.
The manga began serialization in November 2021 on Shogakukan's Sunday Webry platform. The seventh volume will be released on August 10, 2026, in Japan. An English translation is published by Seven Seas Entertainment.
To celebrate the anime adaptation, two campaigns are being held: Until July 12, 2026, fans can enter a lottery on the official website to win one of three signed posters. Additionally, the woodcarver "Poppo's Woodcarving" is gradually releasing videos showing the creation of wooden sculptures related to the anime.
Further details about the broadcast format and streaming will be announced at a later date.
