Makino Tomoe is directing the anime at Felix Film, and the anime will star Wakayama Shion as Fia Ruud, Tokudome Shinnosuke as Zavilia, Umehara Yuuchirou as Saviz Nav and Shimazaki Nobunaga as Cyril Sutherland.
The anime is based on the Tensei Shita Daiseijo wa, Seijo de Aru Koto wo Hitakakusu light novel series by author Touya and illustrator chibi.
Touya started the ongoing story in January 2019 on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website, and Earth Star Entertainment published the first novel with illustrations by chibi in June 2019. The 11th novel in the series was released in March 2025.
The novels were also adapted into a manga by Aobe Mahito in November 2019 in Comic Earth Star. Earth Star Entertainment published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in April 2020, and it released the manga’s 12th volume in March 2025.
Seven Seas Entertainment publishes both the novel series and manga adaptation in English under the name A Tale of the Secret Saint. It will release the eighth novel on July 29th, 2025 and the tenth manga volume on November 25th, 2025. It describes the novel story below:
“Born into a long line of knights, Fia is determined to become a knight herself, just like all her siblings. But a brush with death awakens memories of her past life as a Saint–a woman who wields rare, powerful healing and protection magic–along with the ability to use that magic herself! The downside is that Fia also remembers her past life’s untimely death, and the danger she will be in if anyone finds out what she really is. She vows to stay on her knighthood path and keep her powers a secret forever! But how can she resist using her newfound powers when they’re just so useful?”
