New fantasy adaptation Saigo Ni Hitotsu Dake Onegai Shitemo Yoroshii Deshou Ka announced

The novel by Nana Ootori will be adapted into an animated series starting fall 2025. At the center is the rebellious noblewoman Scarlet El Vandinmion (voiced by Asami Seto), whose life is thrown into chaos by the sudden dissolution of her engagement—a starting point for a tale full of intrigue, self-assertion, and unexpected alliances.

Production Team and Style

- Director: Kazuya Sakamoto (The Vampire Dies in No Time)

- Series Composition: Deko Akao (Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle)

- Animation: Studio Liden Films (Call of the Night)

- Character Design: Emphasizes aristocratic elegance combined with dynamic fight choreography

Alongside Seto, the following cast members have been announced:

- Wataru Katō as Julius von Palistan, Scarlet’s former fiancé,

- Shōya Ishige as Leonardo, her strategically minded brother,

- Miyu Tomita as the enigmatic companion Nanaka,

- Ai Kakuma as Terenettsa Hopkins, a key figure with dubious motives.

The series blends courtly power struggles with action scenes, as Scarlet not only defies societal expectations but also redefines her own role between swordsmanship and diplomacy. The visual focus lies on opulent backdrops and the psychological depth of the characters.

Ootori’s novel series, published by Alphapolis, is considered a refreshing twist in the genre thanks to its unconventional protagonist. The adaptation aims to maintain the balance between dramatic seriousness and subtle humor.
