The world of VTubers is about to expand, as the light novel "VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream" will receive an anime adaptation, as announced by Kadokawa.
The light novel, written by Nana Nanato and illustrated by Siokazunoko, is published by Kadokawa under its light novel imprint Fujimi Fantasia Bunko. The series began in May 2021 and currently consists of five volumes, with the sixth volume set to release in January.

Under the name Awayuki Kokorone, she delivers only the most feminine content, but her subscriber count and savings are at rock bottom. One evening, when Yuki thinks she has ended her stream, she downs a few cold drinks and cracks some crude jokes while watching Live-On's video archive. However, her audience hears everything, and clips of her lewd, drunken comments spread overnight. Yuki believes her career is over—until her manager reveals that everyone at Live-On had been waiting for her to let loose and gives her free rein to get drunk on stream. Now freed from any pretense of purity, she embraces her new role as "Rowdy and Boozy." She is welcomed by her fellow Live-On VTubers, who turn out to be just as wild as she is! As her viewership and finances skyrocket, Yuki finds herself genuinely enjoying her job for the first time in her life.
With the anime adaptation, this entertaining and relatable story will reach a wider audience, and fans of the light novel can now look forward to seeing their favorite characters come to life on screen. The world of VTubers continues to grow, and the anime adaptation of VTuber Legend is sure to be an exciting addition to the scene.
