Rein Kuwashima, the illustrator for the light novel who drew the new visual, also commented, saying: “As a fan, I look forward to seeing Yuya-kun in action again.” The visual features Lexia von Arselia who is holding up two fingers:
The I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in the Real World, Too anime is based on a light novel written by Miku and illustrated by Rein Kuwashima. KADOKAWA is currently serializing the novel under its Fujimi Fantasia Bunko imprint. A manga adaptation by Kazuomi Minatogawa is also ongoing in Dengeki Comic Regulus.
The first season of the anime adaptation was announced last August. Shin Itagaki was the chief director of the anime, with Shingo Tanabe as the director. The main cast included Akari Kito as Kaori Hojo, Kaori Maeda as Lexia von Arcelia, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Yuya Tenjo. The recent trailer features the opening theme song “Gyakuten Geki” by Tsukuyom.
Yen Press licensed both the light novel and the manga in English and describes the plot as:
A Chance to Come Back!
A mysterious door stands open, inviting a boy who’s been brutally bullied all his life to take a courageous step forward into the unknown. On the other side, he finds a hoard of priceless artifacts and a world as filled with magic as it is with monsters. The most shocking revelation, however, is that he can bring whatever he wants back with him when he returns to Earth. It won’t be long before this double life changes him forever…
