A noble with three souls inside

The story follows Bald, son of Count Cornelius in the kingdom of Mauricia. Three consciousnesses coexist in his body: his own, that of Oka Sanae, a warrior from the Sengoku period who served the Uesugi clan, and that of Oka Masaharu, a high school student obsessed with animal ears. The former brings instinct for trade and war; the latter, knowledge of the modern world.

That mix turns Bald into a prodigy at territorial management, combat, and inventions. The original novel by Takami Yanagawa, published by AlphaPolis, has sold over 1.5 million copies. Honoji handles the manga adaptation.

Staff and cast

Studio DEEN produces the series. Hiroaki Sakurai directs, with series composition by Keiichirō Ōchi. Ukulele Zenjirō handles character designs based on Hajime Watanabe's drafts. The soundtrack is by RYOSHI TAKAGI.

Yūsuke Kobayashi plays Bald, Takeshi Matsuyama plays Oka Sanae, and Keiji Inomata plays Oka Masaharu. The rest of the cast includes Yuka Yasuzai as Seirun, Ayasa Itō as Selina, Sumire Morohoshi as Silk, Marina Inoue as Maggot, Takehito Koyasu as Ignis, Toshiki Kumagai as Brooks, Ari Ozawa as Teresa, Kōhei Yanagi as William, and Yūki Sakakibara as Franco.

The opening is Isekai by Maverick Mom. The ending, Brand new day, is sung by Tokino Sora.

The manga moves forward with volume 15

Volume 15 of the manga arrives on December 14, with a simultaneous digital edition. The official synopsis picks up the story right after Bald defeats Maggot in a duel between mother and son. She keeps her promise and begins to tell him about her past as Princess Marguerite.

The story goes back more than thirty years, to an internal conflict in the kingdom of Tristovy. What starts as a political crisis leads to conspiracies, betrayals, and a love drama that reaches the royal family. The volume costs 792 yen with tax.

The original novel is also moving forward: volume 14 is already on sale. In this arc, Bald decides to confront the kingdom of Ansara directly and starts by conquering the neighboring kingdom of Nedras. The war spreads across the continent, with battles in the Nortland Empire, the Sea of Galeares, and northern Tristovy.
