Dive into the enchanting world of “Saioshi no Gikei o Mederu Tame, Nagaikishimasu!” as it prepares to grace our screens in January 2026. This upcoming anime adaptation of Tenma Asahi’s beloved light novel series promises a captivating journey filled with romance and intrigue.
The official website for this highly anticipated “light anime” has unveiled the star-studded cast. Voice actor Ayumu Murase will bring to life the character of Alba, while Shota Aoi will lend his talents to portray Orsis. The dynamic duo is set to captivate audiences with their performances, as Alba and Orsis navigate the complexities of their newfound familial bond.
The anime is set to debut in January 2026, marking the inaugural project under the newly formed boys love label, Balloon. This collaborative effort between IMAGICA Infos, Dai Nippon Printing, CYBIRD, and BLUE RIGHTS aims to revolutionize the anime industry with a more efficient and cost-effective production process. The label’s ambitious goal is to produce four new titles in the 2026 fiscal year, with plans to scale up to 10 or more projects annually by 2028.
Yusuke Morishita is at the helm as the director, with Izumi Tezuka overseeing the series scripts. The animation production is being handled by IMAGICA Infos and Imageworks Studio, with Kazuya Takahashi serving as the production supervisor. DNP and Imagica Info’s Animation ID are jointly producing the project, ensuring a high-quality viewing experience for fans.
The light novel series follows the story of Alba, who finds himself reincarnated as the son of a poor noble family. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets his new step-brother, Orsis, through his mother’s second marriage. Orsis, it turns out, is Alba’s favorite character from an otome game he played in his previous life. Alba’s joy is short-lived as he realizes that his own character’s death in the game is the catalyst for Orsis losing his smile. Determined to change his fate, Alba sets out to find a way to live longer and protect his beloved step-brother.
AlphaPolis published the first volume of the light novel series in September 2021, with the fifth compiled book volume released on January 20. Additionally, Aki Tsujimoto launched a manga adaptation of the series on the AlphaPolis platform under the Andarche label in January 2025. The second volume of the manga was shipped on July 2.
The concept of “light anime” was spearheaded by DNP to create animation at a lower cost and on a more timely schedule compared to traditional animation production workflows. The Balloon label is poised to make a significant impact in the anime industry with its innovative approach and ambitious production goals.
