Pony Canyon announced the anime adaptation of the light novel series Rokka no Yusha, which is being localized as Rokka – Braves of Six Flowers, last November through the wraparound on the third volume of the manga adaptation. While the Japanese site and Twitter accounts went live a couple of weeks ago, they’ve now gone live with the English language versions as well with rokka-anime.us/ and the @rokkaUSA Twitter account. In addition to that, they’ve released a new promotional video with English language subtitles for fans as the series is being promoted for its summer 2015 streaming debut that’s obviously coming.
The property comes from Ishio Yamagata (with Kei Toru handling the manga adaptation) which began back in 2011 and has five volumes to its name so far.
Plot concept: When “The Majin” awakes the goddess of fate will choose six warriors and bestow them with the power to save the world. Somewhere on their bodies a crest in the shape of a flower will appear and as a result the warriors are called “The Heroes of the Six Flowers”. As the day of The Majin’s revival nears, Adlet, a boy who calls himself the strongest man in the world, is chosen as one of the “Six Flowers”. But when the heroes arrived at their designated location, they found that there were seven heroes present. Which meant that one of them was an imposter and an enemy. Confused by the impossible situation, suspicion and paranoia spread among the chosen. And within a thick forest, the heroes’ fierce battle begins!
