The upcoming TV anime Kaori-san wants to fight even if she is reincarnated, which is based on the original manga by Hekiru Hikawa, has finally locked in its broadcast schedule. Fans can expect the show to start airing this July on BS Nippon Television, specifically in the famous "ANiMAZiNG!!!" slot across 24 ABC and TV Asahi networks nationwide. To get everyone hyped up, the production team has released the first key visual, the first PV, and a list of eight additional cast members who will be joining the project.
For those who don't know, "Kaori-san Wants to Fight Even When Reincarnated" is a unique romantic comedy that follows the life of Ryusei. On the surface, he looks like your typical reclusive guy who just spends his whole day playing games, but there is a big secret—he was actually a powerful demon lord in another world. Then there is Meteor, the hero who once defeated him, but in this life, she has been reborn as a high school girl. The first key visual actually shows Ryusei and Meteor standing back to back, hinting at their complicated past and current connection. It is exactly why Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life is a must-read for fans of reverse isekai stories.
