We learned back in the spring that Studio Gokumi was taking on a new project with Pony Canyon announcing that the light novel series by Hideaki Koyasu, Lance N’Masques, will be making its way to the larger world with an anime adaptation. While no dates are available for when we’ll see it yet, a few details have surfaced about the production. Kyohei Ishiguro is set to direct the series for Studio Gokumi with original writer Hideaki Koyasu handling the series composition and scripts for the show. Koyasu certainly isn’t unfamiliar with this process as he worked in that role on GJ Club and YuruYuri.
The light novel series is a recent one with the first volume having landed in December of last year. The news comes ahead of the thord volume being released on October 3rd as part of Pony Canyon’s line of novels.
Plot concept: The battle action novel series revolves around Youtarou Hanafusa, a young man who is part of the last remaining order of knights in the 21st century, “Knights of the World.” As he fights as the mysterious Knight Lancer, he must hide his identity behind a mask.
