Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden Anime Confirmed for October 2026 with Inoue Honoka
ANIHK 編輯部The popular light novel Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden has officially announced its TV anime adaptation, scheduled to air in the October 2026 broadcast season. The official release includes a key visual and teaser PV full of "gap moe" charm, and reveals that the heroine will be voiced by the rising star voice actress Honoka Inoue.
For fans eagerly awaiting the "strongest warrior" wreaking havoc within the body of a "sickly young lady," this is undoubtedly thrilling news. Below is a complete summary of the information released.
Premiering October 2026! The Key Visual Hints at a "Sense of Discord"
The TV anime for Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden is confirmed to begin broadcasting in October 2026.
The newly revealed teaser visual at first glance exudes the elegant aura of a noble young lady. In the image, the protagonist Nia Liston is dressed in a gorgeous gown, performing a perfect lady's curtsy. However, upon closer inspection, one can feel a "strong sense of discord" that clashes sharply with her delicate appearance. This madness hidden behind an elegant smile is the work's greatest charm, hinting that a completely different soul resides within this young lady.
Teaser PV Released: The Aesthetics of Violence in a Flower Field
The simultaneously released Teaser PV unabashedly showcases the work's wild style.
This is the first time fans get to see Nia "in motion." The PV's opening is highly deceptive—Nia, with an innocent smile, skips lightly through a flower field. However, with a sudden shift in the scene, the tone changes dramatically! Waiting for her at the edge of the field is a group of ferocious monsters. Faced with these terrifying foes, Nia shows no fear. Instead, like a beast spotting its prey, she excitedly charges into the enemy ranks.
This "enjoyment of battle" perfectly recreates the "battle maniac" image from the original work, heightening anticipation for the anime's action scenes.
