Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte started as a fantasy light novel series written by Suzu Enoshima. It was serialized on Shōsetsuka ni Narō in 2018. Kadokawa Books imprint published the light novel in 2019 with illustrations by artist Eihi. The work also inspired a manga adaptation by Rumiwo Sakaki in Kadokawa’s B’s-LOG COMIC magazine.
J-Novel Club, the publisher of the novel in English, describes the story as follows:
One day, Crown Prince Sieg hears the Voices of the Gods out of the blue. Apparently, his fiancée Lieselotte is a “tsun de rais” villainess destined to meet her demise…and her sharp tongue is just a way of covering up her embarrassment. The prince can hardly contain himself after discovering Lieselotte’s adorable hidden side. Little does he know, the heavenly beings that bestowed this knowledge unto him are actually high schoolers! Can he use their divine prophecy (let’s play commentary) to save his betrothed and avoid a Bad End?!
News about the novel’s TV anime adaptation was first announced in December 2021.
Fumihiro Yoshimura is directing the anime at Tezuka Productions. Tomoko Konparu is the screenwriter, and Miyuki Katayama is the character designer. Tatsuhiko Saiki, Natsumi Tabuchi, Sayaka Aoki, Junko Nakajima, and Kanade Sakuma are the music composers.
The series will star Tomori Kusunoki as Lieselotte Riefenstahl, Yuichi Nakamura as Siegwald Fitzenhagen, Kaito Ishikawa as Aoto Endo, Kana Hanazawa as Shihono Kobayashi, and Miyu Tomita as Fiene.
