The fantasy romance „勇者パーティーにかわいい子がいたので、告白してみた。“ (I Found a Cute Girl in the Hero Party, So I Confessed) is getting a TV anime adaptation. The series, based on the webcomic by Mizuki and Kairi, tells the unusual love story between a half-demon and a priestess.
At the center is Yōki, a former human who was reborn as a half-demon in a fantasy world and now serves as a sub-boss in the demon king’s army. His life takes an unexpected turn when he falls in love with Cecilia – the priestess of an opposing hero party. Despite their opposing factions, a romantic comedy unfolds between Yōki and Cecilia. Yōki oscillates between childlike naivety and surprising maturity, while Cecilia, initially strict and self-sacrificing, gradually becomes more open to his quirks through his persistence.
In the lead roles, Kōhei Amasaki voices Yōki and Kana Hanazawa voices Cecilia. Amasaki particularly highlights the contrast between Yōki’s youthful playfulness and his adult responsibilities, while Hanazawa describes Cecilia as warm-hearted but prone to self-sacrifice – and emphasizes how Yōki brings her unexpected joy in life.
The director is Toshiyuki Yamamoto (known for Tsuredure Children), with character design by Mina Ōsawa. The music is handled by Yoshiaki Kaji & MONACA, who have previously worked on titles like Sword Art Online. The animation is produced by Studio Gekkō.
The story originally began as a web novel in 2013 and garnered over 75 million views on „Shōsetsuka ni Narō,“ in addition to more than 750,000 copies sold in print and digital formats. Author Mizuki himself expresses surprise at this success, admitting that he never even considered a book or comic release back in 2013 when writing the first chapters – let alone an anime.
