It has been announced that the popular light novel "A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation" from the novel posting site "Shosetsuka ni Naro" will be adapted into a TV anime and will begin airing in January 2026. It will be directed by Kenta Noda and produced by SynergySP. Soma Saito will play Lizel, an aristocrat who served the king as the prime minister of a certain great nation, who is transported to another world, and Yuichiro Umehara will play Jill, the strongest adventurer nicknamed "Itto".
The story is about a young man named Lizel, who was famous as the prime minister of a great country in a fantasy world, who is transported to another world and becomes an adventurer himself, making his partner Jill, a high-ranking adventurer who does not flatter or obey anyone, and enjoying life in another world to the fullest.... The light novel and manga have been published by TO Books, and the total number of copies of the series has exceeded 1.8 million.
Misaki, the original author, commented, "Congratulations on the anime adaptation! I'm still processing the surprise of only the release of the third volume of the book, and then a comic book was released, and now it's being adapted into an anime. My emotions can't keep up with reality. But no matter where they are, the LiZELs will continue to be themselves and go about their daily lives as they always have been. I hope that people will take their time and watch their ordinary daily lives. I hope that those who watch the anime will find at least a little peace and tranquility in their lives."
Saito, who plays Lizel, said, "Lizel is a person of such refinement that anyone who sees him will notice that he is clearly noble, and I think his perspective on the world forms the unique tone of the work. That said, Lizel's charm lies in the fact that he is by no means the strongest or a genius. He doesn't try to master everything, but rather enjoys the world as if it were a 'vacation', and I love the relaxed way he is. Also, he has many cute aspects that shouldn't be overlooked, such as his difficulty waking up in the morning and his terrible alcohol tolerance!"
Umehara, who plays Jill, commented, "Jill can be gruff and intimidating, but he is also caring towards those he trusts, and I think that's what makes him such a charming character. He finds Lizel in particular to be an interesting guy, and he's extremely strong and reliable, so he also gives you a sense of security as a partner. I've been playing the role of Jill for a long time, but this time we're doing dubbing with all the cast, so I'm looking forward to seeing some new and interesting exchanges."
