Get ready for some poetic justice! 🏰✨
The popular fantasy light novel "Because I, the True Saint, was Banished, that Country is Done For!" (Shin no Seijo de Aru Watashi wa Tsuihou saremash*ta. Dakara Kono Kuni wa Mou Owari desu) is officially getting a TV anime adaptation!
If you love the "banished hero" trope with a satisfying side of "they’ll regret letting me go," this is the series for you.
What is the story about?
The series follows Eliane, who has served as the Saint and protector of the Kingdom of Belkheim since she was a child, using her prayers to ward off monsters and ensure bountiful harvests. However, when a fake saint tricks her foolish fiancé—the Prince—into believing Eliane is a fraud, she is unceremoniously banished from the kingdom.
Homeless and penniless, Eliane sets off for a neighboring kingdom, hoping to live a quiet life as a commoner. But with her gone, the Kingdom of Belkheim starts to fall into ruin, while the kingdom that takes her in begins to prosper.
Why you should be excited:
-The Ultimate "I Told You So": There’s nothing quite as cathartic as watching a kingdom realize they’ve thrown away their only lifeline.
-Wholesome Fantasy: Beyond the drama, fans love the series for its cozy elements, including Eliane’s adorable companions like her fenrir pet, Ralph, and a dragon named Douglas.
-A Proven Hit: Originally a web novel on Shousetsuka ni Narou, the series has grown into a successful light novel and manga franchise that has captured hearts globally.
Mark your calendars, as the anime is currently scheduled for broadcast in 2027! Are you ready to see the Kingdom of Belkheim crumble? Let us know in the comments! 👇
