Romelia War Chronicle Reveals Teaser Visual, 2026 Premiere
The previously announced Romelia War Chronicle anime adaptation revealed a teaser visual and a 2026 premiere date. Details on the staff and studio have not been revealed.
Author Ryo Ariyama commented on the news:
Romelia War Chronicle is becoming an anime—thank you so much! Honestly, it still feels unreal, like a dream or a fantasy of my less-successful self. But even if it is a dream, please don’t wake me up.
The Romelia War Chronicle: Even After Defeating the Demon King, Humanity Still Seems Doomed, So I Formed a Military Force (Romelia Senki: Hakushaku Reijou, Maou wo Taoshita Ato mo Jinrui Yabasou dakara Guntai Soshikisuru) will adapt the light novel series written by Ryo Ariyama. The series originally started out as a web novel before getting picked up by Shogakukan and serialized in under the Gagaga Bunko imprint. The first volume was illustrated by Kodama, and Ryo Kamito took over from the second.
I never imagined I’d get to experience something like this! Sometimes I still find myself thinking, “Was that all just a dream?” Thank you so much!
- Ryo Kamito (Mangaka)
Congratulations on the anime adaptation! I’m so excited to see how the anime will bring to life its mix of everyday moments, drama, and action. Please look forward to Romelia and her companions’ journey!
Kodama (Original Character Designer)
The same author and illustrator duo are also working on the manga adaptation, which features original character designs by Kodama. The manga is serialized online, on Mag Garden’s MAGCOMI website and on the Manga Doa magazine app. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga series earlier this year, and Volume 1 is slated for a January 2026 release date.
The plot follows Romelia, a countess who falls from grace after her fiancé, a prince, breaks off their engagement soon after his party successfully defeats the Demon King. Alone and without followers, Romelia is forced to make the best of her mysterious power, which grants her good luck. Her first stop is her homeland, still overrun by monsters and with many still enslaved by the evil army. Romelia must gather people and get them to fight for her cause, all while navigating life without funds.
