 Publishing company Micro Magazine announced a television anime adaptation of Hirotsugu Ryuusen's fantasy light novel series Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja (She professed herself the pupil of the wise man.) on Wednesday.  SynopsisSakimori Kagami plays a VRMMORPG called Arch Earth Online. He is a veteran player with the name and appearance similar to an elderly bearded wizard from a certain book about a ring. One day he purchases an appearance change item as a last resort to spend expiring currency and gets the idea of choosing what he would want to look like if his character was ever a girl. Falling asleep should have suspended the game, but Kagami wakes up still online and feels the game has has gotten a bit more realistic. Did Arch Earth Online finally get a long-awaited update? (Source: Novel Updates) Ryuusen originally launched the novel, also known by its short name WashiKawa, on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in April 2012. Micro Magazine began publishing the novel with illustrations by Choko Fuji (Hachi-nan tte, Sore wa Nai deshou!) under its GC Novels imprint in June 2014. The 13th volume is scheduled to ship on May 29. Comic Ride began serializing a manga adaptation by Dicca Suemitsu in July 2016. Micro Magazine released the sixth volume on January 30. The light novel and manga combined have a cumulative circulation of 1 million copies.

| Finally, been waiting for this ever since i read the manga a few years ago. |
| YESSS!!! FINALLY Mira-chan animated 😍😭 |
 |
| Looks like mix of SAO, Log Horizon, and Overlord. |
 |
| The Time has come for Mira to take the stage I bennn waiting this for the long time |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Gandalf waifu - the animation? |
  |
| Did I hear some plebs dissing summoning magic? Oh dear. Time for Mira to come to the big screen and show em all. Sooooooo glad to see this getting an anime, very much deserved and hopefully will be as enjoyable as the novel and manga are! |
| Wow. Reading the synopsis, kinda surprise he becomes a girl instead of a demon king.. Hmm I think I'm gonna like this one. |
| Is this a gender bender ? |
 |
| This seems like it's one of the original game isekai novels, so the adaptation should be interesting~!XD |
   |
| so in this isekai the protagonist (male) is stuck in the game, but now (s)he a is cute girl? I only have one question, yuri for here? |

From what I know it doesn't have yuri. Quite unusual, given the frequent motive "girl with a male soul" in such works. In any case, I wonder if fantasies about women's experiences are so popular among current otaku? I have a lot of funny thoughts about this, but this is just speculation. |

| what kind of stupid shit is this? it is not enough to be an isekai about MMO like overlord, log horizon and countless anime similar. It also has to include that the loser mc must become a loli, surely he will try to replicate the success of bofuri where everyone was so condescending just for having a protagonist moe waifu. |
| The light novel is interesting. Looking forward to it since we gonna have a gandalf. |
| Been waiting for Mira to get Anime made on the series for a long time now, its one of my favorites series I enjoy reading when a new chapter comes out. Its dream come true finally. I'm so happy, I had a small party for the series in celebration for it. BEST News I had all this week, already sharing the great news with close anime fans who'll love the series as much as me I hope. I'm also glad I didn't spoiler series to a few of my anime friends in vc about it. xD |

| Involved MMORPG already attracts me. |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
| hmmm I dont know about the plot but I see kawai waifu + Isekai. I put it on my PTW. |
| Finally. Was wondering when this gonna get anime since Fujichoko seem to favor this series over her other LNs (like 8th son). She uploads every new book cover art and they all invariably top the Pixiv daily rankings. Hope it gets good animation even if it's just another isekai story. |

neokiva said: from the looks of it, its definately a rip off. Still and OP character.chriskor022 said: same genre but no harem, fantasy comedy slice of life, MC is op but it's earned op.Looks like mix of SAO, Log Horizon, and Overlord. |

From what I know it doesn't have yuri. Really? Almost hard to believe, 90%+ of 2010's LN isekais and pseudo-isekais/VRMMORPGs relies on harem hijinks, even if lowkey. Is "does not have any yuri" as in no girl EVER falls in love for the MC, and (s)he NEVER flirt with ANY of them, or s(he)'s just dense protagTM, collecting a harem with his/her salvations/OPness, yet without ever noticing it? neokiva said: chriskor022 said: same genre but no harem, fantasy comedy slice of life, MC is op but it's earned op.Looks like mix of SAO, Log Horizon, and Overlord. Kirito theorically did earned his OP as well, he (supposedly) grinded hard in the right spots during the (multiple) timeskips of the first arc. Are they gonna show multiple flashback from when (s)he was a n00b, and started learning how to GIT GUD SCRUB? Also, does (s)he ever loses a fight across the plot? Or have at least realy hard fight? Sometimes is boring how those MCs stomp everything lowdif. |

| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| @Fabris She does not have any harem, because her appearance as a girl only allows her to catchfriends, I think that the author used the gender bender for 2 options; He wanted to have a kawaii girl as the protagonist, but he did not know how to give him an appropriate personality for the type of stories where he required a mature character and did not want to have a generic mc with a companion loli, or because he wanted to focus on the story and the worldbuilding avoiding any romance with the different girls he meets. |

Well, nowadays, many authors simply choose the all-female platonic yuri to transfer all the "romance" to shippers. This allows you to expand the audience due to the removal of the yuri tag, so now a huge number of all-female titles do this. neokiva said: RobertBobert said: actually he is a gentleman, so doesn't generally do that. His friend bakanaria (luminaria) is a dedicated g.i.r.l who is deep into it to the point of having gotten pregnant in a game and given birth and loves being a woman. Danbulf himself though is more worried about his reputation than being female, though he is ultimately resistant to acting girly (the castle maids regularly use him as a dress up doll for their goth loli clothes.) Though as it goes on his disposition and his "awareness of his femaleness" does change as he gets used to his new sex. To the point he starts imagining his real life form as an older female version of his loli form.Quite unusual, given the frequent motive "girl with a male soul" in such works. In any case, I wonder if fantasies about women's experiences are so popular among current otaku? I have a lot of funny thoughts about this, but this is just speculation. Wait what? Is there a homosexual reproduction in this title? |

| A must watch for me cause I'm a summoner myself in video games and the story for light novel/manga is fantastic. I just hope it gets the Overlord treatment (except for Season 3) with amazing color palettes and character design. There's only one studio that I want this to be animated by, and its White Fox. |
