"Do you want to live? Or do you want to find peace?"

Saved by her hand, Hakura is hired as Lean's bodyguard, and the two embark on a journey together.

However, the incidents that come her way, involving troublesome monsters that are not easily dealt with, are endless...

Comments from Authors and Director Arrive!

Original Author: Amato Dam

The Daughter of the Monster Master is getting an anime! ...An anime!?

I can hardly believe it myself, but a huge dream I've had since childhood has become a reality thanks to all of you who have supported me. The broadcast is still a little ways off, but everyone involved is working on it with utmost seriousness. Please wait a little longer for the new beginning of Lean and Hakura's troublesome journey.

Character Designer: Shirabi

Congratulations on the anime adaptation of The Daughter of the Monster Master!

I am very much looking forward to seeing how Lean, Hakura, and the other characters will move.

Director: Chihiro Kumano

Congratulations on the long-awaited anime adaptation.

This work has a charm that is sometimes like a dream, with a strange sense of comfort that can't quite be called a nightmare, a familiar atmosphere, and makes you want to go back to sleep to find out what happens next.

I want to depict both the beauty and cruelty of this world as a hymn to all creation.

Main Cast Revealed & Cast Comments Arrive!

Following the special PV and audio drama, Manaka Iwami has been chosen to voice Lean, Chiaki Kobayashi as Hakura, and Akio Otsuka as Ao.

Lean: Manaka Iwami

Lean: Manaka Iwami

I am Manaka Iwami, and I will be playing the role of Lean in "The Daughter of the Monster Master."

I became involved with this work through Drecom's original PV, and I am happy to continue in the anime.

Lean, at first glance, appears confident and cheerful, but she is a reliable character with a lot of knowledge and the ability to control monsters.

Although there are many serious themes, the work is full of charm that you can enjoy, such as the witty banter with Hakura and the comical scenes!

I hope you will look forward to the anime broadcast...!

Hakura: Chiaki Kobayashi

Hakura: Chiaki Kobayashi

I am Chiaki Kobayashi, and I will be voicing Hakura.

As the title suggests, "monsters" play an important role in the story.

What kind of ecosystem do they form, and how do they interact with humans?

And what kind of story will Lean and Hakura weave with these monsters? Please pay attention to this.

Thank you!

Ao: Akio Otsuka

Ao: Akio Otsuka

I am Akio Otsuka, playing Ao.

I learned about this work for the first time during the audition, and I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

It seems to fall into the road movie category, which is something I enjoy.

I'm also looking forward to my role, a veteran monster accompanying a young protagonist...

What do you think?

Doesn't it already sound "interesting"?
