Training yourself all your life to fight
monsters and have peace declared to you before your first fight is the kind of
twist that defines the beginning of a good story. Soara and the House
of Monsters confirmed its anime adaptation with a 2027 premiere,
accompanying Kadokawa's announcement with a teaser, a promotional image, and
the first names of the cast and production team.
The teaser and image offer the first look at
the world and characters of a story that starts from an unexpected
reversal: Soara, a young orphan raised by knights and trained to
fight the monsters that attacked her kingdom, the time comes to join the fight just
as peace is declared. With her purposeless sword, Soara crosses paths
with Kirik, a young dwarf leader of the Monster Architects.
Instead of fighting the monsters, Soara ends up working with Kirik to build
them comfortable homes, and in that unexpected process she could find the
family and home she never had.

in November 2021, with the first compiled volume released in May 2022 and the
