Shigetaka Ikeda (Future Card Buddyfight) is directing the anime. Aki Mizuki (Sylvanian Families: Mini Story) is in charge of series composition and the screenplay. Yumiko Hara (Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun) and Yūki Osada are designing the characters. East Fish Studio is in charge of animation production.
ASMIK Ace describes the anime:
Stand and fight –
After a life defined by misfortune, Siegbert is reincarnated in another world as a “lucky one” blessed with extraordinary talent.
Surrounded by a warm and loving family, he spends his days in happiness – until fate begins to shift.
“I’ll grow stronger, so I’ll never lose anyone again.”
So begins an isekai fantasy about a boy who will rise to become the strongest.
