Mistress Kanan Anime Sets April 4 Premiere Date, Drops New Key Visual

The anime adaptation of Nonco's Mistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy has officially locked in its broadcast schedule, confirming a premiere date of April 4. The announcement came alongside the release of the first key visual for the series.

Viewers can catch the first episode on Tokyo MX and BS11. Aoi Koga is voicing the perpetually flustered succubus Kanan Takakiyo, while Seiichirō Yamashita plays the surprisingly forward junior Yōji Kyōgi.

We also have confirmation on the music front. Rock band Faulieu is handling the opening theme, 'Hatsukoi Moment,' and the ending track, 'Pop, Snack, Junk na HUNNY,' will be performed by the VTuber group Asagiri Kōkō.

Yasushi Muroya directs the series over at Studio Kai, with Hisashi Isogawa serving as assistant director. Rintarō Ikeda handles the scripts, and Akari Minagawa is responsible for the character designs.

The story centers on Kanan Takakiyo, the strict discipline committee chair at Tama Municipal Votive Academy, who is secretly a demon girl hunting human souls. Her plans hit a snag when she targets Yōji Kyōgi, only for him to confess his feelings and demand she become his girlfriend first. Kanan’s high school life is further complicated by her maid Ami and the clumsy heavenly apostle Jeanne.

Nonco's original manga began serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in June 2022. Volume 12 is set to release on January 16. An earlier trailer last October had already confirmed the April broadcast window and the core production staff. The series will air late night on April 4, hitting screens at 25:00 JST, which translates to 1:00 a.m. on April 5.
