The cast already got revealed. Kōhei Amasaki plays Yōki, and Kana Hanazawa voices Cecilia. The main character Yōki, he got reborn into a fantasy world but not like usual. He wasn’t a hero, and not a demon lord either. He just ended up working for the demon lord. Then, one day the hero’s group attack the castle and Yōki has to fight them. But then he sees Cecilia, who is a priest in the hero party, and he falls in love right that second. Even though they are supposed to be enemies.

Actual direction is done by Tomonori Mine, he worked on Isekai Onsen Paradise. The scripts are being handled by Yukie Sugawara, who’s done some serious stuff like Overlord and No Guns Life. Mina Ōsawa is making the character art from the original La-na designs work for animation. The music is made by Satoru Kōsaki and MONACA. The producer is Ryō Aizawa from Starry Cube.
