It has been announced that Chinkururi's light novel, "Shosetsuka ni Naro the Gacha and Increase Your Allies: Create the Strongest Beautiful Girl Army," which is popular on the novel submission site "Shosetsuka ni Narou," will be adapted into a TV anime and will begin airing in January 2027. Takata Masahiro will serve as general director, Asami Takashi will be the director, and Zero-G and Saber Works will be producing the anime.
It was also announced that voice actors Daisuke Sakaguchi, Miyu Tomita, and Iori Noguchi from the idol group "=LOVE" will be appearing in the game. Sakaguchi will play Heihachi Okura, a true "heavy spender" who spends almost all of his salary on smartphone games; Tomita will play Nor Fanya, a UR knight with exceptional swordsmanship; and Noguchi will play Esther, a UR mage who boasts overwhelming destructive power.
"Spin the Gacha to Increase Your Allies and Build the Strongest Beautiful Girl Army" tells the story of Heihachi Okura, a social game addict who, after winning a UR item, an invitation to another world, in the gacha of the smartphone game "Girls Corps," is transported to another world. Relying solely on his smartphone and the beautiful girls summoned from the gacha, he begins a new "gacha life." The light novel is published by GC Novels (Micro Magazine), and the manga adaptation has also gained popularity. The series has sold over 1.2 million copies in total.
Original author Chinkururi commented, "I am extremely honored that my work will be made into an anime. When I heard about this, I was so surprised that it didn't really sink in. This is all thanks to the readers who have supported me so far. Thank you so much! Although gacha is the main theme, I believe that the charm of the characters is just as important. I focused on that point in the original work, and the heroines are drawn even cuter in the comic adaptation. I am confident that the characters' charm will be further enhanced by the animation with movement and voices. Once again, thank you very much to all the readers who have supported me and to everyone involved in the production. Please look forward to the broadcast!"
Sakaguchi commented, "Yes! It's a romantic comedy (?)! I've been saying for ages that I wanted to do a romantic comedy, and now it's finally happened! Well, actually, the romance is more subdued and it's more of a slapstick comedy (laughs). Heihachi, the character I play, is a high-energy character who's always on the go and making witty remarks, so I'm really stepping on the gas. The other cast members' performances are also hilarious, and it naturally gets me excited. It's so much fun! And the pleasant fatigue I feel after the recording is over (laughs). I think it's a work that you can just enjoy without thinking about anything complicated! Please look forward to it!"
Tomita said, "This is a unique work with gacha as its theme, and I'm having fun recording every episode. Knoll is a girl who has the coolness of a knight, but also carries a lot of the comical parts of this work, so I'm trying to be conscious of the contrast when I play her! The satisfying feeling of the gacha animation, the charming and cute girls, and Okura-dono's high energy...it's a work that you really won't get bored of watching. Please look forward to it airing!"
Noguchi said, "It's a romantic comedy with lots of comedic elements, the pacing is great, and there are lots of cute girls, so I'm having a lot of fun recording. Contrary to her cute appearance, Esther is usually a calm and strong-willed girl, but when she's honest, she's so cute...! I'm thrilled by her devilish personality as I read the original work and the script alternately... I'm being toyed with by her in every episode! It's a fun show that will get you hooked once you start watching! Please look forward to the broadcast!"
