Publishing company Drecom Media announced an anime adaptation of Kujira Tokiwa's Eris no Seihai (The Holy Grail of Eris) light novel on Sunday, revealing the lead cast, a teaser visual (pictured) and teaser promo.

Voice actresses Kana Ichinose (Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou., Carole & Tuesday) and Sayumi Suzushiro (Hikikomari Kyuuketsuki no Monmon, High Score Girl) are starring as Constance Grail and Scarlet Castiel, respectively.

Tokiwa began penning the fantasy drama novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in October 2017. SB Creative published four volumes under its GA Novels imprint from November 2019 to March 2022, featuring illustrations by Yuunagi (Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki). Drecom Media will publish a new edition through its DRE Novels label, beginning with the first five volumes on November 7.

Hinase Momoyama began drawing a manga adaptation on the Manga UP! website in November 2019. Square Enix published the tenth volume on March 7, with the 11th volume set to be released on November 7.

Yen Press publishes both the light novel and manga in English and published the fourth novel volume in October 2023 and eighth manga volume on September 17. The ninth manga volume will go on sale on January 21, 2025.

Synopsis
It is common knowledge that nobles will do anything for power; lying, manipulation, and extortion are the usual tactics. However, one family is exempt from this generalization: House Grail, whose main tenets are truth and integrity. The youngest daughter, Constance Grail, is just as moral as the rest of her family, believing in always doing the right thing and helping those in need.

However, these ideals do not help her when her fiancé cheats on her with another woman. Framed by his lover in the hope of her downfall, Constance's pleas for justice are ignored. Everyone turns a blind eye, save for one—the spirit of the infamous Scarlet Castiel—who possesses Constance and turns the tables on her accuser. However, this aid doesn't come without a price.

Ten years ago, Scarlet was executed for the attempted murder of Princess Cecilia. But this was actually a setup; as blunt and harsh as Scarlet could be, she would never stoop so low as to use poison. She has no idea who orchestrated her incrimination, but Scarlet demands that Constance—as the only one who can see her—help her exact revenge on all those who wronged her! [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Amazing news.

Now, the only otome-like stuff I love that is still unadapted is The One Within the Villainess.

@Anime_Luv I don't follow the original LN, but the manga adaptation collects as much hype and discussion of the chapters on various resources as stars like Oshi no Ko, Mieruko, Frieren, etc. If their publishing house has the same attitude towards multi-platform popularity as Dengeki Bunko, then they could clearly be interested in this.

@RobertBobert Is it really popular? Im asking, cuz whenever i read the manga, the Novel readers always say that its unlikely this masterpiece will ever get an anime due to its lack of popularity. I hope it sells like hot cakes!

Oct 23, 10:21 AM by Anime_Luv

my all time favourite gets manga gets an anime what else can i ask for other than this

Wow, it was so popular, yet haven't received any anime adaptation for sooo long, I thought it would never will....
Yet here we are....

@Anime_Luv In fact, the manga adaptation is so popular that every time I saw an announcement for an otome LN adaptation, I expected to see this.

Oct 20, 3:05 PM by RobertBobert

This is an absolutely fantastic story! I nevrr thought the day would come when this received an anime, but im glad it did! Its a great mystery story of great intrigue and igoes so deep. Im just so nervous that they wont do it justice..

The dynamic between the two main leads is enjoyable. I am not even sure if this counts as a villainess story. This series is a mystery at its core, following two heroines as they navigate a web of secrets, every revelation uncovers even more secrets.

Scarlett is charismatic while Constance is somewhat of an airhead.

@RobertBobert Yep, then naming it this way had some point after all lol.

Tsk, when I first saw the name "The Holy Grail of Eris" long time ago, I don't know why, but I wished it was about Eris from Mushoku Tensei. Getting her own series. Obviously not but you can always wish.
We'll see what this has to offer since I don't know squat about this.

@Softhenic03 Jokes aside, but without spoilers, you will find some parts of the story somewhat similar to how Fate works, lmao.

Oct 20, 7:32 AM by RobertBobert

This isn't the adaptation over holy grail I was looking forward to xD

Oct 20, 7:14 AM by Softhenic03

Good news if that's what I'm thinking. I don’t even know how many years I’ve been looking at manga.

Oct 20, 7:12 AM by RobertBobert

A nice surprise.

I'm hyped for this one.
