by

The popular light novel series titled “The Otome Heroine’s Struggle for Existence” written by Biyori Harunohi and illustrated by Yu Hitaki, has been announced to receive an anime adaptation. This exciting news was shared by TO Books, who have also created a dedicated website for the project.

J-Novel Club has already licensed both the light novels and the manga adaptation by Kobato Wakasa.

In my perspective as an avid reader, the narrative unfolds around me, focusing on Alicia, a resilient young girl who tragically loses her family in a monstrous attack on our village. For three grueling years, I lived among the cold walls of an orphanage before making the brave decision to flee. Yet, my escape was not without peril, as it ignited a violent clash with a relentless woman set on ending my life.

In the heat of the struggle, I inadvertently touched a cryptic crystal that bestowed upon me wisdom beyond my years. This unexpected gift transformed me from a hapless child into a cunning strategist, navigating the complexities of a world I once knew only as a helpless orphan.

After a monstrous assault on her village left Alicia orphaned, she endured three miserable years in an orphanage. Eventually, unable to bear it any longer, Alicia escaped. However, her escape was not without incident – she had a fierce confrontation with an older woman who sought to take her life. In the heat of their struggle, Alicia accidentally touched a peculiar crystal, imbuing her with vast knowledge and turning her from an innocent child into a shrewd strategist.

Realizing that she was destined to be the heroine in an otome game and feeling resentful about it, Alicia chooses to take control of her life and become strong—no matter what it takes. Armed with her new understanding, and aided by a stranger she encounters in the forest, she learns to live independently in a ruthless world that’s too harsh for someone her age. Come what may, she’s determined to blaze her unique trail.

The anime adaptation was officially confirmed via Twitter:
