Publishing company Kadokawa announced a television anime adaptation of Umikaze Minamino's Majutsushi Kunon wa Mieteiru (Kunon the Sorcerer Can See) light novel on Friday.

Laruha, the light novel illustrator, and La-na, the manga adaptation artist, both drew illustrations to commemorate the announcement (pictured above).

Minamino began penning the action fantasy novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in August 2021. Kadokawa began publishing the series under its Kadokawa Books imprint in March 2022, featuring illustrations by Laruha. The sixth volume went on sale last August, with the seventh volume planned for a March 10 release.

La-na began serializing a manga adaptation in Monthly Comic Alive in April 2022. The fifth volume shipped in November 2024.

Yen Press licensed the light novel in English in February 2023 and released the third volume last June. The fourth volume is scheduled to be released on April 15.

"A blind boy that can see through water magic" is such a strange idea for a character that it got me excited for a second.

But then I read "already surpassed his teacher, and continues to grow his talents," and now I'm wondering if they'll forget about the blindness real quick and take him through the usual power fantasy...

The protagonist's design is so androgynous that it took me a while to realize that he was a guy.

The cover art reminds me of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle for some reason.
