The upcoming Though I Am an Inept Villainess TV anime has gotten a main visual. It was also announced that it would begin airing on July 12 at 11:45 PM JST.
Though I Am an Inept Villainess (Futsutsuka na Akujo dewa Gozaimasuga ~ Sugu Choso Torikae den~), which was previously planned to begin airing in April, is based on a light novel series written by Satsuki Nakamura and illustrated by Kana Yuki. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the books’ synopsis as such:
In the Kingdom of Ei, five clans put forth their maidens as imperial consorts—but only one will be crowned empress. Just when frail and beautiful “court butterfly” Kou Reirin seems poised to marry the crown prince, jealous “court rat” Shu Keigetsu steals her body! Reirin wakes up in the dungeons as the conspirator, and things look dire…or do they? Now that she’s got a robust new body, not even the looming threat of execution can stop her!
Mitsue Yamazaki (Zenshu, Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle) is directing the anime at Doga Kobo with Sumie Noro as assistant director, Yoshiko Nakamura (RPG Real Estate) as series composer and Ai Kikuchi (Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie) as character designer. Manaka Iwami is Kou Reirin, while Natsumi Kawaida voices Shu Keigetsu.
The Though I Am an Inept Villainess light novel series began in 2020 and has 12 volumes as of March 2026. The books are published under the Ichijinsha Novels label/imprint.
Though I Am an Inept Villainess also has a manga by Ei Ohitsuji, who is credited as original character design on the anime alongside Yuki.
