The Revenge
of the Support Wizard will begin soon on TV. The production company Shochiku announced
this Friday that the light novels Tsuiho Sareta Cheat Fuyo Majutsushi
wa Kimamana Second Life or Oka Suru will have an anime
adaptation of The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage (known for short
as Chi-Fuyo). The big surprise of the announcement is that the
animation will be carried out by the prestigious studio P.A. Works.
Along with
the news, the first visual of the project was revealed, although at the moment
no details have been given about the voice cast, the directing team or the
release date.
The
Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Anime Details
The
original author, Asa Rokushima, celebrated the news with a message
for fans: "I'm absolutely thrilled that Chi-Fuyo has an anime
adaptation... I always look forward to each new chapter of the manga, and I
can't wait to see Rein and the others come to life on screen."
To
commemorate the announcement, both the novels' illustrator, Kisui,
and the manga adaptation's artist, Gyomuyomochi, published special
celebratory illustrations.
About
the work
The story
follows Rein, an "Enchanter" who strengthens the team
with his magic. Suddenly, he is expelled from his guild under the excuse that
the entire team has already been upgraded enough. Outraged by the absurd
treatment, Rein decides to remove the massive amount of mana he had poured into
the guild's weapons and armor.
Channeling
that power into a simple random copper sword transforms it into a cheat-level
weapon with 10,000 buffs. With no combat experience but armed with magic
capable of creating super-powerful equipment, Rein sets out to enjoy a new life
as a carefree adventurer.
Rokushima
began the series on the Shosetsuka ni Naro site in January
2021, and Kodansha has been publishing the print volumes since
January 2022.
