Last fall saw a domain name registered for the Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai Shite Ita manga and then an announcement not long after. The series will be directed by Akiyo Ohashi from the scripts by Yuniko Ayana. Haruko Iizuka is handling the character designs with studio BONES handling the animation production.
The latest update is that the show is set for a July 2024 premiere and that comes with a new visual below and the reveal of the main cast are reprising their roles from the drama CD run.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Mai Nakahara as Byakuya Mimori
- Yūki Ono as Mira
The work comes from creator Fujiwara Cocoa but was never completed due to their passing away. It would not be the first time that an incomplete manga saw an anime adaptation under similar circumstances. And Fujiawara had a few popular works that reliably pleased fans. The manga, which translates as The Day To Day Life of Magical Girl and The Right Hand-Man of an Evil Empire, began in 2013 and had twenty chapters out before their passing with three volumes released in total. It was serialized in Gangan Joker for Square Enix and was not released in English by anyone.

Plot Concept: The story centers on the unlikely romance between Mira, an official in an evil organization hell-bent on world domination, and Byakuya Mimori, a magical girl who sets out to thwart them.
