In the beautiful land of Astraea where a gentle breeze blows, a young man named Yuuki awakens with no memory of his past.
There he encounters a guide who has sworn to care for him—Kokkoro, a lovely swordswoman who’s always feeling peckish—Pecorine, and a cat-eared sorceress with a prickly attitude—Karyl.
Led by fate, these four come together to form the “Gourmet Guild.”
And so their adventure begins…
The upcoming anime adaptation will be written and directed by Takaomi Kanasaki, who previously directed the popular anime adaptations of KONOSUBA – God’s blessing on this wonderful world!!, which will be produced by CygamesPictures.
Character designs for the series will be handled by the team of Satomi Kurita (Real Girl, Hina Logic – from Luck & Logic character designer), Lie Jun Yang (A Certain Magical Index III key animator) and Yasuyuki Noda (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. chief animation director).
