| Dengeki G's has opened the official website for the upcoming light novel Nogi Wakaba wa Yuusha de Aru (Wakaba Nogi is a Hero) today. The new series is a spin-off of the original anime Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru and will begin its serialization in the September issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, to be released on July 30. Based on the original concept by Akame ga Kill's creator Takahiro, Nogi Wakaba wa Yuusha de Aru will be written by Akashiro Aoi (scriptwriter for this season's Arslan Senki) and illustrated by BUNBUN (original character designer and artist of the franchise's previous works).  Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru (Yuki Yuna is a Hero) aired for one cours in Fall 2014, and its first BD/DVD volume sold more than 11,708 copies after its initial release. It has since received a manga adaptation and several light novel spin-offs. The anime was licensed for US distribution and dubbed in English by Ponycan US; the second BD/DVD volumes were released on June 10.

| I hope it's as good as the other two storylines (yuuki yuuna & washio sumi) were. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Geh Well Yuuki Yuuna was terrible enough so idk about this... |
  |
| I wonder if this will be adapted into an anime in the future. Somewhat interested. |
 |
| Meh. |
 |
| Since there really isn't a need for a second season, this spinoff could be adapted into a 1 cour anime instead. |

LastChapter said: The announcement of the novel was made in the early parts of June, but nonetheless I am glad light novel news are getting more publicity. The title was announced on 12th June, but nothing else about it was officially known until yesterday/earlier today (depending on your time zone), although a few details were leaked 3 days ago. The website is new today/late yesterday Japan time |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Since Arslan Senki's scriptwriter is composing this spin-off, it might also be pretty good. I'm assuming Wakaba is Sonoko's sister, going by that they both have the same last name? |
 |
| One of the very few that I've dropped on episode 1. Yuuki Yuuna! |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| You have no idea how I felt reading the 'Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru' part just for it to be followed by spin-off novel, god damn it. LastChapter said: Makes no sense, I'd have to go check but I'm lazy right now but didn't Sonogo no Sonoko happen right after the main series? How is this in between? (I guess, thinking about it, the girls could have been replaced with another group right away but that doesn't sound good at all, especially with how they "drove the Vertex away for a while" at the end).Supposedly, this takes place before the Yuuki Yuuna sequel Sonogo no Sonoko. If any series of the Yuuki Yuuna franchise should get an anime adaption, Washio Sumi wa Yuusha de Aru is my top choice since it is the prequel to the main series, not to mention giving background information of characters that appeared in the anime such as Sonoko. And yes, Washio Sumi needs a movie adaptation asap, really begging for it. Overall though, I'm not sure how I feel about this, this series is very, very easy to milk, just change the characters and recycle the story with a few changes and you're golden, and after the less than stellar ending that the TV series had I say a second season has to be treated very carefully, there were a couple hints that they left towards the end that could easily be turned into another season (stuff like Yuuna's fainting in the final play, for example) but the ending still left that "eh, this needed another cour, not a sequel", bet this series turning out to be so popular was a huge suprise to them and a second cour would have likely happened if it was always this popular, oh well. Still, can't say I'm looking forward to this spin-off that much, doubt it'll be bad but there's other things to do before it. |

| The news was good, until I saw who's writing it. Why not Takahiro. Or at least a writer with some experience. |
 |
| As long as it would connect to Washio Umi/Yuuki Yuuna and still manage to be as interesting as those two, I'm fine with this. Beside, Arslan Senki TV is quite consistent so their is hope for it. And I don't see Yuuki Yuuna season 2 coming as the anime itself already have a good ending if combined to its prequel(Washio Umi). |
 |
| YuYuYu!!! Well, seeing those changes I just hope they do not disappoint the franchise, it was a quite nice surprise :) |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |

But he was the screenwriter for like 3 episodes, not the whole series. |
