My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending gets TV anime for 2027

The light novel series My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending (Ore no Shibo Flag ga Todomaru Tokoro o Shiranai) is getting a TV anime adaptation. The announcement came with a commemorative illustration and confirms that the premiere will be sometime in 2027.

The story, written by Izumi and illustrated by Atiki, starts with a classic isekai twist: a college student ends up in the body of Harold Stokes, the villain of the video game Brave Hearts. The problem is that, if the plot runs its course, he will be defeated by the hero's party. With the power of Harold's body and his knowledge of the game, he will have to dodge all the death flags waiting for him.

Publisher Takarajimasha has been releasing the novels since 2015, and there are four volumes as of 2017. Earlier, in 2014, the original web novel won the third Shosetsuka ni Naro Contest.

A manga you can already read in English

The manga adaptation is handled by Mitsuya Otosu, and One Peace Books publishes it in English. Its synopsis introduces Kazuki Hirasawa, the student who wakes up as Harold, and poses the question that drives the whole work: can he survive by avoiding his death flags?

For anyone unfamiliar with the term, a death flag is that signal within a story that anticipates something bad is going to happen to a character. Here the protagonist knows them in advance because he has played the game, so the fun is in seeing how he tries to dodge them one by one.
