The previously announced An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride anime adaptation will air in April this year. A key visual and a new trailer were released as part of the announcement, as well as additional cast members. Studio Brain’s Base (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, In/Spectre, Firefighter Daigo: Rescuer in Orange) is animating the series.
The additional cast includes Hana Hishikawa as Chastille Lillqvist, Kisho Taniyama as Barbatos, Akane Misaka as Foll, Tetsu Inada as Raphael Hyurandell, and Ayasa Ito as Manuela. Previously announced cast members include Yusuke Kobayashi as Zagan and Kana Ichinose as Nephy.
Hiroshi Ishiodori is directing the series with Aya Yoshinaga handling the script. Meanwhile, Mina Osawa is designing the characters, Keiji Gotoh supervising the animation, and Yuma Yamaguchi composing the music. It was also announced that The Brow Beat will perform the series’ opening theme song “Wakaranai Ai.”
An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride is written by Fuminori Teshima and illustrated by COMTA. Hobby Japan has published the series since 2017 under its HJ Bunko imprint. A manga adaptation with illustrations by Hako Itagaki began serialization on Hobby Japan’s Comic Fire website in February 2018 and went on to be nominated in the web category for the 2020 Next Manga Award.
J-Novel Club licensed the light novel and describes the plot as:
Zagan is feared by the masses as an evil sorcerer. Both socially awkward and foulmouthed, he spends his days studying sorcery while beating down any trespassers within his domain. One day he’s invited to a dark auction, and what he finds there is an elven slave girl of peerless beauty, Nephy. Having fallen in love at first sight, Zagan uses up his entire fortune to purchase her, but being a poor conversationalist, he has no idea how to properly interact with her. Thus, the awkward cohabitation of a sorcerer who has no idea how to convey his love and his slave who yearns for her master but has no idea how to appeal to him begins.
