The anime adaptation of Mistress Kanan Is Devilishly Easy is steadily building excitement as it reveals new promotional material ahead of its 2026 release. A striking key visual has been unveiled, featuring the two central characters in a mischievous yet charming pose that captures the tone of the series. Alongside the visual, the production team has also confirmed the lead voice actors who will bring these lively characters to life.
Aoi Koga will voice the devilishly adorable protagonist, Kanan Takakiyo. Known for her expressive and captivating performances, Koga shared her excitement about playing Kanan, highlighting how much she enjoyed the character even during the audition process. She described Kanan as a whirlwind of emotions and playful unpredictability, calling the opportunity to voice her both fun and meaningful. Her enthusiasm reflects just how much personality the role promises to deliver.
Joining her is Seiichiro Yamashita as Yoji Kyogi, the unsuspecting human student who becomes entangled in Kanan’s otherworldly antics. Yamashita humorously recalled his audition, where he was asked to express his version of a “pervert,” a comment that hints at the over the top comedy the anime is aiming for. He praised the character dynamics and especially the irresistibly chaotic charm of Kanan.
The anime is being animated by Studio KAI, known for handling a variety of visually engaging projects. While full details on the rest of the staff are still under wraps, fans are already intrigued by the mix of supernatural humor, awkward romance, and fast paced energy promised by the series. The second teaser visual showcases both Kanan and Yoji, hinting at the comedic chemistry and escalating romantic mischief that will unfold once the show airs.
Based on the manga Kanan sama wa Akumade Choroi by Nonco, the story revolves around Kanan, a female demon who infiltrates a human high school intending to harvest souls. Her plan takes an unexpected turn when she ends up in a strange relationship contract with Yoji, a human boy who throws her completely off guard. With no real understanding of love, Kanan finds herself navigating strange feelings, chaotic encounters, and a blossoming romance she never anticipated. The result is a mix of high energy gags, sweet moments, and a surprisingly heartfelt exploration of first love from a demon who is totally new to it.
The manga has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine since June 2022 and is set to release its tenth volume in Japan this July. The growing popularity of the series, along with its vibrant characters and comedic twists, has made it one of the more highly anticipated romantic comedies coming to screens in the near future.
With such a fun premise, expressive character designs, and a talented cast already confirmed, Mistress Kanan Is Devilishly Easy is shaping up to be a memorable addition to the rom com anime landscape. Fans can expect more updates and trailers in the months leading up to its release, but for now, the teaser visuals and voice cast announcement have certainly turned up the hype.
