Kazuki Ura will play Abel, and Kaede Hondo will play Sarah.
The work is a light novel written by Hisataka and illustrated by Amano Hide. The story follows Ryo, a young man who is reincarnated into another world, who, after a sword fight with the Headless Knight, an attack by Assassin Hawk, and an encounter with a dragon, becomes the strongest water wizard 20 years later. Eventually, his encounter with the genius swordsman Abel brings Ryo to the forefront of history. The light novel is published by TO Books, and the comic adaptation is also gaining popularity.

Original author Hisataka commented, "Congratulations on the anime adaptation! Thank you! Congratulations to my creation ("The Water Magician") for growing up enough to be made into an anime. Thank you to all the readers who supported me up until the anime adaptation and to all the people who made it possible. Ryo and Abel, who were talking and jumping around in my head, will now be able to show their movements in front of all of you...Yes, there's no way I can't look forward to this. I'm really happy to be able to watch their movements together with everyone."
