A new key visual introduces the Doukyo Shiteiru Kensei anime as WWWave Corporation’s Deregula label opens its official website and names the production team, according to MyAnimeList. Masayoshi Nishita directs. Tokihiro Sasaki serves as series director. The adaptation brings Kennoji and R_ringo’s manga, known in English as My Sword Saint Master Is Too Cute to Live With!, to television with Wolfsbane and LIGHTBOX sharing the studio credit. [1]
Doukyo Shiteiru Kensei Anime Staff
Masayoshi Nishita heads the announced team, with MyAnimeList listing Kakushite! Makina-san!! among his previous credits. Tokihiro Sasaki takes the separate series director position; the report identifies him as the director of Nobunaga-sensei no Osanazuma. Deregula’s announcement names both roles. The supplied report does not explain how the two directors will divide their responsibilities across the television adaptation. [1]
Youhei Kashii handles series composition. His listed credits include Temple. With Nishita and Sasaki occupying the directing positions, Kashii completes the announced group handling direction and series composition, while the remaining credits identify artists across several visual departments. Those include character designs, backgrounds, color and photography. The report does not name individual episode writers or episode directors. [1]
Kennoji and R_ringo’s manga provides the source material for the television series. MyAnimeList describes it as a fantasy romance and gives the full Japanese title as Doukyo Shiteiru Kensei no Onna Shishou ga Kawaisugite Mainichi Shiawase desu. The announcement reaches beyond the directing team: it assigns specific jobs for characters, weapons and accessories, putting names to the visual work behind the newly released promotional image. [1]
Characters, Weapons and Animation
Ichirou Tanaka handles character design. Ayame Eto and Yuushou Hayakawa take the sub-character design credits (the additional character-design roles listed separately from Tanaka’s position). MyAnimeList connects Eto with in-between animation on Kimi no Koto ga Daidaidaidaidaisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo 2nd Season and Hayakawa with second key animation on Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan. Those earlier jobs identify the artists’ reported experience; their newly announced assignments on this adaptation are different. The Doukyo Shiteiru Kensei anime also gives Hayakawa another position in its production team, making him one of the staff members whose name appears under more than one responsibility. [1] Hayakawa is chief animation director. Kumiko Yoshikawa designs props, weapons and accessories. [1]
Yoshikawa’s previous credits include prop design on Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double, according to the report. Her assignment here explicitly covers weapons as well as the objects and accessories that populate the story. The released credits identify who will design those elements, but they do not describe particular weapons or reveal how the television series will stage its action. Beyond the characters and their equipment, the announcement also names the artists shaping the surrounding world. [1]
Backgrounds, Color and Sound
Norifumi Nakamura serves as art director (MyAnimeList lists Ame to Kimi to among his credits). [1]
Fuyuto Muraguchi handles color design; the report names Hotel Inhumans as a previous credit. The staff announcement separates those positions from photography. Another individual and another company join the Doukyo Shiteiru Kensei anime production credits there. [1] Kouhei Ogawa directs photography. Gekkou receives the photography credit. MyAnimeList lists photography work on Isekai One Turn Kill Neesan for Ogawa. Nao Kawakami handles editing, with Meitou ‘Isekai no Yu’ Kaitakuki appearing in the report’s accompanying credits. MyAnimeList’s report lists these departments without describing any footage. It provides no details about the finished scenes’ visual style or editing. [1]
Kazuki Kuwahara directs sound. 12sound handles the music. MyAnimeList connects Kuwahara with Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritai. The supplied announcement does not identify theme-song performers or provide a soundtrack preview. The staff list now covers the production from character designs through editing and audio; behind those creative departments, Deregula and WWWave also identify the people managing and promoting the adaptation. [1]
Wolfsbane and LIGHTBOX Share Production
Wolfsbane and LIGHTBOX are the two named studios. The report credits Deregula with producing the project and WWWave with production, while Kouhei Motokawa serves as animation producer. MyAnimeList lists Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita among Kouhei Motokawa’s credits. It does not specify how Wolfsbane and LIGHTBOX will divide the animation work. [1]
Nao Kawakami also handles production management. Atom Saegusa takes the setting production credit. With Kawakami appearing in both editing and management and Hayakawa handling design and animation supervision, the announcement identifies several staff members working across more than one position. Those overlapping credits are explicit; the report gives no staffing totals, production budget or episode-by-episode studio assignments. [1]
Kazuki Yanase serves as publicity producer. His listed credits include Maou no Musume wa Yasashi Sugiru!! Deregula’s official website and the anime’s X account (@shisho_anime) give the adaptation its own public channels. The new visual accompanies that production announcement, while the manga behind the television project already has a Japanese serialization history and an English publishing license. [1]
Deregula is the animation label of WWWave Corporation. Wolfsbane and LIGHTBOX hold the studio credits, while Gekkou appears under photography. MyAnimeList lists each company separately, preserving the distinction between the Deregula label presenting the anime and the studios and photography company named in its production team. [1]
The Manga Behind the Adaptation
Kennoji began serializing the manga in March 2024 on KadoComi under Web Comic Apanta (with illustrations by R_ringo), according to MyAnimeList. Kadokawa publishes the collected volumes. For English readers, Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga through its Ghost Ship imprint. The English name, My Sword Saint Master Is Too Cute to Live With!, refers to the same work that the staff announcement identifies by its much longer Japanese title. [1]
MyAnimeList reports an English first-volume release planned for June 2027. That is the manga’s publishing schedule. It does not establish a television premiere for the Doukyo Shiteiru Kensei anime, and the supplied report gives no broadcast window, streaming service, episode count or voice cast. Readers following the adaptation still need those details before they can put its first episode on a viewing calendar. [1]
MyAnimeList directs readers to Deregula’s official anime website and the project’s X account, @shisho_anime, for the television adaptation. The site is the announcement channel identified in that report; a television release date and cast remain absent from the available staff coverage. Neither the manga’s English license nor its reported publishing schedule supplies a broadcast date for the first episode. [1, 2]
