Media

Manga

A manga adaptation illustrated by Sora Hōnoki began serialization on AlphaPolis' Regina manga website on June 5, 2019, which its chapters have been collected in eleven tankōbon volumes as of December 2025. The series was originally published only digitally in English on AlphaPolis' Alpha Manga app, before later publishing the English version physically starting in 2026.

Anime

An anime television series adaptation was announced during the Aniplex Online Fest event on September 16, 2024. It is produced by Liden Films Kyoto Studio and directed by Kazuya Sakamoto, with Deko Akao writing series scripts, Eriko Haga designing the characters, and Hinako Tsubakiyama composing the music. The series aired from October 4 to December 27, 2025, on Tokyo MX and other networks. The opening theme song is "Senjō no Hana" (戦場の華; 'Flower of the Battlefield'), performed by CHICO with HoneyWorks, while the ending theme song is "Inferior" (インフェリア, Inferia), performed by Shiyui. Crunchyroll streamed the series. Muse Communication licensed the series in Southeast Asia.

Reception

By October 2024, the series had over 1.4 million copies in circulation.

Léonard Fougère who reviewed the series for IGN France opined that the series starts in a unique and entertaining way, offering "a fresh take on the genre", but fails to deliver much outside its "excellent" protagonist. He notes that the anime suffers from structural problems, trying to condense too many ideas, notably, about gender roles, that are more fully explored in the source manga.

J. R. Waugh writing for Screenrant noted that the anime became one of the more popular shows of its season, tweaking the common otome isekai tropes into "something spectacular and wildly hilarious", and featuring "a wonderfully cool, refreshing ... protagonist".
