On October 14, 2023, during the "Fantasia Bunko Daikanshasai Online 2023" livestream event, an anime adaptation was announced.[30] It was later confirmed to be a television series that is set to premiere in 2025.[31]

Reception

edit

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network praised the characters and aspects of the plot, while criticizing the "near-loli scenes". Silverman concluded her review stating "[the series is] not bad, it's [just] not all that good either".[32] Sean Gaffney of A Case Suitable for Treatment praised the story, though Gaffney also felt its harem elements were "awkward".[1]

In BookWalker's Next Big Light Novels poll, the series ranked fifth on the bunkobon list in 2019.[33] The series has 200,000 copies in circulation.[34]
