by It has been decided that the fantasy manga ” Isekai Munchkin The Strongest and Fastest Dungeon Conquest with HP 1″ will be made into a TV anime. The teaser visual has been released. The original work, written by Yu Shimizu (author) and known for “The Demonic Sword Master of the Holy Sword Academy” and written by Ryo Aogiri (manga), is a fantasy work based on the world of TRPG (table-talk role-playing game), currently being serialized on Kodansha’s web manga site “Wednesday Sirius.”
While playing a game with his beloved younger sister Sana, Yukito Kirihara (Yukito), a high school student who loves TRPG, is suddenly attacked by a monster that appears from another world and dies an unjust death. Yukito is allowed to be reincarnated by Nephilim, the goddess of the other world, “Everworld,” and finds a description of Sana in Nephilia’s World Master’s Guide. He steals the World Master’s Guide and is reincarnated into the other world to see her. Yukito becomes a “Munchkin” (a TRPG player who is familiar with the rules and uses even their flaws to play to his advantage) and travels through the harsh “world of swords, magic, and random numbers.”
The latest volume 11 of the book will be released on November 8th. The director of the TV anime version is Mamoru Yokota, who is known for the character design of bishoujo games released in the 1990s and served as supervisor of ” Kinnikuman Perfect Superhuman Ancestor Arc .” Durandal, founded in 2022, will be in charge of animation production.
The teaser visual shows Yukito dressed in adventure gear and his companion Charlotte, who travels with him to another world, standing side by side. The full text of the comments from Director Yokota and the original creators is as follows. [Mamoru Yokota (Director)] I am Mamoru Yokota, director of Munchkin. When I first heard about Munchkin, I thought, “Eh? I’m the director of the first work since the studio was established?” Due to physical reasons, I told the president that I would be picked up and dropped off at the studio, and a white-haired older man came to summon me in a wagon every day. I read with Shimizu-sensei and Aogiri-sensei and met with the staff. My life as an otherworldly creator began.
I thought, “I’ll spend the rest of my life creating a work that will leave my name behind,” so I have no choice but to do my best with Munchkin! Everyone around the world! Of course, I’ll also be dealing with attractive female characters, so please wait in seiza for a while! [Shimizu Yu (original author)] I’m Shimizu Yu, the original story writer for “Isekai Munchkin.” Congratulations on the anime adaptation!!! This work is packed with fun memories of the TRPG I played in school. I hope the god of dice blesses the anime and Yukito’s adventure! [Aogiri Ryo (manga)] I’ve always dreamed of an anime adaptation of Isekai Munchkin.
At that time, I received a message from my editor saying, “It’s been decided to make it into an anime,” I was so surprised that I repeatedly said, “Seriously?” I still remember that conversation clearly (laughs). Just imagining how Yukito and his friends will move and talk in the scenes I drew in the manga and how they will progress with their friends makes me so excited! There will be a lot of new information announced in the future, so I’m looking forward to it with everyone!
