Anime
On June 23, 2016, publisher Ichijinsha announced that the series would receive an anime television series adaptation.[14][15] The anime is being produced by Silver Link and directed by Mirai Minato, with Michiko Yokote and Kento Shimoyama writing the scripts, and Yuki Sawairi designing the characters.[16] Toshiki Kameyama is the series' sound director while Lantis is producing the music.[2] The opening theme will be performed by Ayaka Ohashi while the ending theme will be performed by ChouCho.[2]
The series will premiere on January 5, 2017, and will be broadcast on Tokyo MX, AT-X, and BS Fuji.[2]
Reception
Reviewing the first volume, Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave it a grade of B, noting that the combination of revenge comedy and romance was "working thus far." She felt that Aki's servant was the most interesting character, but also enjoyed Masamune, especially how he had to "think about the correct response for each situation he finds himself in". She called Aki "utterly detestable", and noted that it would be difficult for the series to turn around and make her a romantic interest. She wrote that the art was attractive, but noted that the drawings of women were often anatomically incorrect.[17]
