Comment from Asa Rokushima (Original Manga Author):
I’m absolutely thrilled that Chi-Fuyo is getting an anime adaptation. Congratulations to Gyomuyoumochi. I always look forward to each new chapter of the manga, and I can’t wait to see Rein and the others brought to life on screen. I truly hope this anime helps Chi-Fuyo reach longtime readers and brand-new fans alike. Once again, congratulations to everyone involved in making Chi-Fuyo a reality.
Illustration and comment from Gyomuyoumochi (Original Manga Author):
I was genuinely surprised to hear that someone had even joined P.A. WORKS because they wanted to work on this anime. Since the adaptation was greenlit, I’ve had the chance to meet the production team, and everyone is approaching the project with remarkable passion. I trust them completely and have nothing but respect for their dedication. Never did I imagine my life would lead me to connect with people in this way, and it’s all thanks to the readers who support me day after day. I promise this anime will live up to your expectations, and I’m just as excited as anyone to see the finished work. My heartfelt gratitude goes to the readers who have given me this opportunity, as well as to Asa Rokushima and kisui for their generosity in allowing me to work on this series.

I’m absolutely thrilled that Chi-Fuyo is getting an anime adaptation! From Asa Rokushima, to Gyomuyoumochi on the manga, and now the anime staff—it’s been incredibly moving to watch this series continue to grow! I’m grateful to all the fans and everyone involved who have supported the work. I’m already looking forward to seeing the anime air and can’t wait to share that excitement with all of you!
STORY:
Rein, an enchanter who strengthens equipment with his magic, is suddenly expelled from his guild, simply because every piece of gear in the guild has already been enhanced enough. Outraged by the absurd treatment, Rein decides to take back the enormous amount of mana he had poured into their equipment. When he casually channels it into a random copper sword, it transforms into a cheat-level weapon with 10,000 enhancement points! With zero combat experience but armed with magic that can turn anything into overpowered gear, this enchanter sets off to enjoy a new, carefree life as an adventurer! In a world where magic and science intertwine, wild humor meets layered character drama, fueling nonstop fan theories and generating major buzz long before the anime was even announced. Now, Chi-Fuyo is finally coming to life as a TV anime produced by P.A. WORKS, who is known for their track record of quality original series. With the full expressive power of animation behind it, anticipation continues to rise for how this world and its story will take shape on screen.
