‘Yowaki MAX Reijō nanoni, Ratsuwan Konyakusha-sama no Kake ni Notte Shimatta’ Anime Casts Shizuka Ishigami – News

Kadokawa announced one more cast member on Friday for the television anime of Hiro Oda‘s Yowaki MAX Reijō nanoni, Ratsuwan Konyakusha-sama no Kake ni Notte Shimatta (Even Though She’s a Timid Young Lady to the Max, She Agreed to Her Shrewd Fiancé’s Bet) light novel series. Shizuka Ishigami voices Rufus Stan as a child.

Kadokawa is also streaming a “visual video” featuring a voice drama titled “Aru Natsu no Hi no Futari” (Two People on a Certain Summer Day).

The anime will debut in October, and will star (character name romanizations are not confirmed):

Nobuaki Nakanishi (I Shall Survive Using Potions!, Shin Koihime Musō TV) is directing the anime at Jumondo. Hiroko Fukuda (Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!; Our Dating Story: The Experienced You and The Inexperienced Me) is overseeing the series scripts, and Moe Hyūga (The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, Victoria of Many Faces) and Natsuki Hamada (Always a Catch!) are composing the music at Kadokawa.

Other staff members include:

The romantic comedy centers on Pia, an ordinary grad student who gets reincarnated as a 10-year-old background villainess in an otome game. She remembers the game ends with her engagement with the prime minister’s son Rufus Stan called off and her banishment from the land, so she asks Rufus to already break the engagement while they are young. But her request only piqued Rufus’ interest in her more, and he makes a bet with her to see if he will really call of their engagement in seven years.

Oda launched the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in January 2020. That early version has nine chapters and ended with two epilogue chapters. Kadokawa started publishing the novels with illustration by Tsubasa.v in August 2020, and the seventh volume shipped in April 2024. (Oda has since posted more tie-in short stories and spinoffs on Shōsetsuka ni Narō.)

Aji Murata launched a manga adaptation on Comic Walker as part of Kadokawa‘s Flos Comic website in 2021. Kadokawa published the manga’s fifth compiled book volume on February 16. The overall project has 1.2 million copies in circulation.
