Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire ♀ is getting an anime adaptation. The information came with the release of the 6th volume of the light novel, but additional details weren’t revealed. The newest volume goes on sale on December 1st, 2021.
This isn’t the first anime project for Reborn to Master the Blade series. A two-episode mini WEB series is available on the official HJ Bunko channel. Akari Kito voiced the main character Inglis, with Ai Kakuma as Rafinha.
Although the anime doesn’t have a PV, one is available for the source material:
The story is based on a gender-bender reincarnation light novel series by Hayaken. Naku did illustrations for the work. The Reborn to Master the Blade novel began serialization in March 2019 on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website. Hobby Japan acquired it and is currently publishing it under HJ Bunko. A manga adaptation by Moto Kuromura is also currently ongoing on the Comic Fire website. J-Novel Club licensed both the light novel and the manga in English.
From his deathbed, Hero-King Inglis, the divine knight and master of all he surveys, gazes down on the empire he built with his mighty hand. Having devoted his life to statecraft and his subjects’ well-being, his one unfulfilled wish is to live again, for himself this time: a warrior’s life he’d devoted himself to before his rise to power. His patron goddess, Alistia, hears his plea and smiles upon him, flinging his soul into the far future. Goddesses work in mysterious ways—not only is Inglis now the daughter of a minor noble family, but at her first coming-of-age ceremony at 6, she’s found ineligible to begin her knighthood!
However, for a lady of Inglis’s ambition, this is less a setback and more the challenge she was (re)born to overcome. “It’s not the blood that runs through your veins that makes a knight; it’s the blood you shed on the battlefield!” The curtain rises on the legend of an extraordinary lady squire reborn to master the blade!
