I've read the light novels - as far as they've been translated and it certainly throws a spanner in the engine-block of the Isekai trope.
Reincarnations aren't seen as a saviours or heroes, they're a disease that brings calamity and ruin. A disease that needs to be erased as soon as possible. There's an awful lot of questions that the plot develops, most of which will get answered eventually, but it remains to be seen (obviously) as to how the anime follows the novels. Fingers crossed that this doesn't do an Ex-Arm on us ! |

The article refers to Ascendance of a Bookworm and Honzuki no Gekokujō as if they were separate works, even though they're the two names of the same series. (The mistake is probably caused by the Bookworm OVA being under its Japanese name in the ANN Encyclopedia.)

No, they're not. It's still "The Executioner and Her Way of Life." Here's their page for it. When they originally licensed it they had it titled "Virgin Road" but they changed it quite a while ago. |

I don't mind if its's just another one of those trending isekai novel or anime whatever as long as it's not another one of those tiring mainstream isekais with uberpowered dark haired male protagonist clones with his own harem of diversed girl characters kinda tropes.
I might welcome the isekai genre if they add some bit of yuri on it which is very rare even if it's only an undertone or bait. |

Yes, time for the isekai adaptation I'll actually watch because it's yuri—even if it's subtle or subtextual! Also the spin on the concept is fun.

I bought the first volume of the novel for this the other day, so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like. I've heard good things about it!

Funny, I just finished the first volume of this LN today. Definitely grooving on it. The worldbuilding is surprisingly detailed for a LN. Magic flows in from a plane called the Astral Vein that conjurers tap into to perform their arts, there's a continent made entirely of salt (courtesy of an isekai hero whose power was to turn whatever he stabbed into salt), etc.

I mean no offense saying this, but I find your comment about LN's and world building strange. There are tons of light novels with fantastic world building so I'm curious why you seem to think otherwise. |

It is curious that Jc staff work in this anime.
Jc staff was the one that started the trend of light novels about bored empowered teenagers with black hair who give them a magical girlfriend or several girls who dominated the past decades, now he will finish it. |

Have also read the first LN recently. Was impressed more by the concept than the writing quality or the first story arc. However, I did feel that it was a natural for getting adapted into anime form, so this announcement is no surprise. The story is an interestingly different take on isekai, both because of the yuri elements (Menou is shading towards being a yuri version of a harem protagonist by the end of the first novel) and because of the reverse-angle look at isekai and the potential problems an isekai "hero" could cause.

Then you're out of luck. Because considering the types of isekai that are coming out and the one's that are getting anime adaptations, yuri being mixed into isekai isn't likely to happen anytime soon. |
