Yoko Hikasa Joins Cast of Heroine? Saint? No, I'm All Works Maid (Pride)
The much-awaited broadcast and distribution date for the TV anime "Heroine? Saint? No, I'm All Works Maid (Pride)" has finally been confirmed for July. Fans are quite excited because the production team has announced that the veteran voice actress Yoko Hikasa will be joining the team. She is set to play the role of Annemarie Victilium as an additional cast member, adding even more depth to this already interesting lineup. Along with this announcement, a fresh teaser PV was also released to give everyone a glimpse of what is coming.
The story follows a very unique premise. In the original setting of the otome game, the main character was actually supposed to be the saint who saves the world from destruction. However, things take a completely different turn when Melody decides to dedicate every single bit of her magical abilities to maid work. She transforms herself into a flawless "All Works Maid," ignoring her destiny as a savior. This is exactly why Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an all-works maid (pride)! is the must-watch isekai of the season, because with the Saint effectively absent from her post, the entire game scenario becomes totally unpredictable and chaotic.
Character Deep Dive: Annemarie and Melody
Annemarie Victorium, who will be voiced by Hikasa, is actually a fiancée candidate for Christopher, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Teolas. On the outside, she is known as the "beautiful princess of a country" and is supposed to be the daughter of a villain in the otome game. But there is a twist—inside, she is actually a reincarnated person from the present day. Because of her past life's memories, she has grown into a very hard-working and dedicated young lady, without even a single trace of the villainous personality she was meant to have. Hikasa herself has shared some comments regarding how much she enjoyed bringing this complex character to life.
The teaser PV also showcases the voices of various other unique characters. We see Melody serving the Ruttleberg family with absolute perfection. Her only dream is to become the most wonderful maid in the world, and she uses her immense saint-level magic just to finish household chores faster. It is quite funny to see such high-level magic being used for cleaning and tea-making. It is one of the main reasons why Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an all-works maid (pride)! is the must-watch isekai of the season for fans who love a good subversion of tropes.
