The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses

A fantasy harem romcom packed with action and comedy, adapted from the manga by のりしろちゃん. Produced by CONNECT and delivered as an ONA, the series is helmed by director Noriyaki Akitaya with series composition by Michiko Yokote. Featuring a cast that includes Anemone, Goa, Ciel, and Toto, this title blends high-energy adventure with laugh-out-loud humor in a vibrant fantasy setting.

In a world of swords and sorcery, the young hero Toto is gifted with remarkable combat abilities—yet a crippling case of shyness has kept him from ever finding companions to adventure alongside. Stranded in the very town where his journey was supposed to begin, Toto watches helplessly as time passes him by. Everything changes when three striking women—Ciel, Anemone, and Goa—extend an unexpected invitation to join their party. For Toto, who is so overwhelmed around women that he literally faints from excitement, this feels like a dream come true. But each of his new companions harbors a secret agenda of her own. The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses is a darkly comedic harem adventure that follows a socially anxious hero and his three mysterious travel partners, whose true motivations remain anything but straightforward.
