The Kept Man of the Princess Knight confirma anime para enero 2027: teaser, elenco y staff

We just got a fresh drop of news, and pucha, it lands like a sword on a stone floor: The Kept Man of the Princess Knight (Himekishi-sama no Himo) is officially heading to TV in January 2027. Kadokawa unveiled a teaser promotional video, a teaser visual, character visuals, and more staff info. So yes, we’re marking the calendar like it owes us chamba.

Lo que ya está confirmado del anime

The announcement comes packed, like a dungeon chest that actually has loot. Here’s what we know so far:

• Premiere window:January 2027
• Format: TV anime
• Materials revealed: teaser PV, teaser visual, and main character visuals

We also got the two leads confirmed, and that’s where the vibe clicks: the story’s “princess knight and her useless kept man”… except the “useless” part smells suspicious, mostro.

Elenco principal

• Junichi Suwabe as Matthew
• Mikako Komatsu as Arwin

Equipo creativo: dirección, guion y diseño

Behind the scenes, the production is shaping up with solid names. Think of it like assembling a party before the boss fight—each role matters, and we like what we see.

• Director: Chihiro Kumano (at BLADE)
• Character design: Hisao Ishii, based on the original light novel designs by Saki Mashima
• Series composition / scripts: Deko Akao

We’re curious: which part hooks you more—the “Dungeon City” chaos, or the idea that Matthew is hiding something big?

De qué trata Himekishi-sama no Himo

The setting is Dungeon City, a place where crime, indulgence, and death are basically the local cuisine. In the middle of that mess stands Arwin, the Crimson Princess Knight, a bright flame in a dirty lantern.

She and her party dive into the dungeon at the city’s center, chasing a legendary treasure said to hold the power to rebuild her fallen kingdom. Plenty of people want to stand beside her… but the spot is already taken by Matthew, a man the entire town despises.

Everyone paints him as a coward and a freeloader—booze, women, gambling, the whole package. And the funniest part (asumadre): no one in the city seems to truly understand what he can do.

Novelas y manga: cifras y próximos lanzamientos

• The light novel series has surpassed 200,000 copies in circulation.
• It won the 28th annual Dengeki Novel Awards grand prize.

Now we pass the torch to you: are we watching this weekly in 2027, or are we binging after it finishes? Tell us, and share this with your dungeon-diving crew—because this one looks like it’s hiding a sharp twist under a “kept man” label.
