It has been announced that the TV anime " The Kunon the Sorcerer Can See, " based on a popular light novel published on the novel submission site " Shosetsuka ni Naro, " will be broadcast on TOKYO MX, BS Asahi, and WOWOW from January 2026. Additional cast members have also been announced, with Akari Kito playing the role of Milica, the ninth princess and fiancee of the blind genius magician Kunon Geryon.
Kito said, "Mirika is a very straightforward and cute girl, and her feelings for Kunon are also very straightforward. I played the role while thinking that her brave side makes her very endearing. I was dubbing the character hoping that she would come across as a girl who is cute but not unpleasant, and that viewers would like as well."
A teaser PV depicting Kunon's journey to becoming known as a "genius magician" has been released on YouTube.
The work is a light novel written by Minamino Umikaze and illustrated by Laruha. It is a fantasy "magical quest" story about Kunon, a blind genius magician who delves into the study of magical tools and magic, striving towards his goal of "creating eyes through magic." Seven volumes of the light novel have been published by Kadokawa Books (KADOKAWA), and the comic adaptation has also gained popularity.
The anime will be directed by Hideaki Ohba and produced by Platinum Vision, with Saori Hayami playing Kunon Geryon and Maaya Uchida playing Kunon's maid, Iko Round.
