On the first day of Anime NYC 2023it was announced that the manga The Magical Girl and The Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies (Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai Shiteita), written by Cocoa Fujiwara, will be adapted into an anime by studio BONES (My Hero Academia). The announcement included the showing of a teaser of this new project. Check out:
During the anime’s announcement, the main production team was revealed: Akiyo Oohashi (Umibe no Étranger) takes over the direction, while Yuniko Ayana (Given) will be responsible for writing the script and Haruko Iizuka (Horimiya) will contribute to the character designs. Additionally, the soundtrack will be composed by MAYUKO (Ranking of Kings).
During the period between September 2013 and March 2015, Cocoa Fujiwara began publishing the manga, which was interrupted after the author’s death, resulting in an incomplete story. Subsequently, a 3rd compilation volume was released after negotiations between publisher Square Enix and Fujiwara’s family. Furthermore, it is important to mention that the manga Inu x Boku SS, previously created by the author, was adapted into an anime in 2012.
The story follows Mira, a master genius behind an evil organization, and Byakuya Mimori, a magical girl determined to confront Mira’s evil plans. The confrontation between the two reveals an unexpected development: the surprising emotion of love at first sight.
More information will be released in the future.
