The light novel “There was a cute girl in the hero’s party, so I confessed to her” has been decided to be made into a TV anime. It has been revealed that Amakasaki Kohei and Hanazawa Kana will appear as the main cast, and a teaser visual has also been released.
Amakasaki plays Youki, a former human demon who is well-liked by his subordinates but becomes a bit of a wimp in front of Cecilia, and Hanazawa plays Cecilia, a priest in the hero’s party who is beautiful and kind, but is also serious and strong-willed.
The work is a romantic comedy fantasy that begins when Segawa Youki (Youki), who is reincarnated in another world in the half-baked role of a subordinate of the demon king, falls in love at first sight with Cecilia, a priest who is part of the hero’s party that has attacked with the goal of defeating the demon king.
The teaser visual shows Cecilia with a slightly flushed cheek and Youki standing behind her with an innocent look on his face, accompanied by the tagline, “The purest love in another world.”
The full comments from Amakasaki, Hanazawa, original author Suisei, comic adaptation by Kairi, and character designer La-na are below. Kairi has also sent a congratulatory illustration.
[Amasaki Kohei (voice of Youki)]


Youki is a former human demon who has been reincarnated into another world. He’s 21 years old, but he’s grown up while still retaining his chuunibyou heart, and it’s fun to play the contrast with his age-appropriate side. I think it’s a great work with both love and comedy, and I hope you’ll pay attention to the kind of relationship Youki builds with Cecilia after meeting her. From a voice actor’s perspective, the cast members have done a wonderful job portraying the charming characters. I’m looking forward to the anime airing! Be sure to check it out!
[Hanazawa Kana (Cecilia)]


Cecilia is a priestess in the hero’s party, and is a tolerant woman who always watches over everyone involved with her kindly. However, she is not afraid of self-sacrifice, so there is something about her that makes her hard to leave alone. Although she has a difficult mission, it is comforting to see how Cecilia’s life becomes more enjoyable after meeting Youki. The love story between the two is also very cute and tingly, so please check it out♪
[Mercury (original)] My work, “There was a cute girl in the hero’s party, so I confessed to her.” is being made into an anime. When I started serializing it in 2013, I didn’t expect it to be made into an anime, let alone a book or a comic, so I’m still surprised. This is all thanks to the people involved who support the author and the Youkis. Please look forward to the exploits of the Youkis in the anime version.

I’m Kairi, in charge of the comic adaptation. Congratulations on the anime adaptation of “There was a cute girl in the hero’s party, so I confessed to her.” It’s exciting to think that we’ll be able to see Youki and Cecilia moving and talking! I’m looking forward to it as a fan too. I hope that everyone who has supported me so far, and everyone who is watching the anime for the first time, will enjoy it!
[La-na (character original)] Congratulations on the anime adaptation. This is almost my first time working on a novel, so it’s a work that I’m very attached to. I felt that it has become even more attractive because it has been adapted into a comic so beautifully. I’m rooting for you from behind the scenes as you make more and more progress. It’s a very fun story, so I think it will be enjoyable not only for readers of the novel and comic, but also for those who are learning about it for the first time. I’m looking forward to the broadcast.
