Square Enix Manga & Books publishes the manga adaptation in English and describes the story:
A zany romantic comedy starring a duke’s daughter, who’s more of a fighter than a lady, and a prince who happens to be into that!
Maria, the daughter of a duke, grew up believing she would one day inherit her father’s dukedom. Accordingly, she focused her attentions on honing her martial arts prowess, while thoughts of marriage fell by the wayside. But the arrival of a baby brother in her family means she’s losing her role as heir! Now that she’s decided it’s time to marry after all, she’s arrived a little late to the game! Are there even any eligible bachelors left?
Upon going to study abroad in a neighboring country where she might still stand a chance at getting hitched, she’s bewildered when the crown prince there declares before all that his engagement to her is null and void! Wait…what engagement?!
Apparently, he’s mistaken her for the wrong girl! But once that’s all cleared up and he catches sight of her knocking out a whole pack of bandits, it turns out that this prince may have a thing for ass-kicking young ladies after all…
The anime stars:
Akira Oguro (Giant Beasts of Ars, Namu Amida Butsu! -Rendai Utena-) is directing the anime at TROYCA. Michiko Yokote (Ao-chan Can’t Study!, Call of the Night) is in charge of series scripts and Isamu Suzuki (Shinobi no Ittoki) is designing the characters.
HoneyWorks feat. Airi Suzuki perform the opening theme song “Chikai wa Kyun to.” Singer Yoshino performs the ending theme song “DEAD OR LOVE.”
The anime premiered on April 1
on Tokyo MX and BS 11 at 24:00 JST (effectively Thursday
