The popular light novel series Okiraku Ryōshu no Tanoshii Ryōchi Bōei ~Seisan-kei Majutsu de Na mo Naki Mura o Saikyō no Jōsai Toshi ni~ (roughly: The Carefree Lord and His Amusing Territory Defense – From a Nameless Village to the Strongest Fortress City Through Production Magic) is receiving a TV anime adaptation. The announcement was made on April 20 during the Overlap Bunko All-Star SP 2025 event on ABEMA.
Originally published on the platform Shōsetsuka ni Narō, the series was printed by publisher Overlap in 2021 and, with over 300 million views, ranks among the platform's most successful works. It also took third place in the Best Light Novel category at the 2022 Next Light Novel Award. A manga adaptation by Aoiro Maro is currently being serialized in Comic Gardo.
Protagonist Van, who is reborn as the fourth son of a noble family in a fantasy world, is considered a disappointing outsider despite his talent for production magic – an ability regarded as worthless in his world. Disowned by his family, he takes over a remote village. However, it soon becomes clear that his magic, which can transform materials into any object, holds unexpected potential. With this power, he turns the impoverished village into a thriving fortress city that attracts people from all over the world.
