The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold To Another Kingdom (Kanpeki Sugite Kawaige ganai to Konyaku Hakisareta Seijo wa Ringoku ni Urareru) light novel series will have a TV anime series in 2025.
The adaptation is a TROYCA production with Shu Watanabe (Shinobi no Ittoki) as director, Keiichiro Ochi (Go! Go! Loser Ranger!) as series composer, and Shuhei Yamamoto (Beast Tamer) as character designer. Yui Ishikawa is voicing main protagonist Philia.
The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold To Another Kingdom is written by Fuyutsuki Koki, illustrated by Masami, and published under the Overlap Novels f imprint. Seven Seas Entertainment recently licensed both the light novels and the manga adaptation by Mago Ayakita and describes the former as:
Philia’s family has produced saints for generations. It’s no surprise that she’s known as the greatest saint of all time—and set to marry the second prince, Julius. What no one expects is for Julius to call off the engagement, claiming that Philia’s perfection makes her charmless and unlikable. To add insult to injury, Philia is packed off to a neighboring country in exchange for gold and resources, forcing her to leave her homeland! Despite bracing herself for mistreatment, Philia finds a warm welcome in her new town, where she puts her saintly abilities to good use erecting barriers against monsters and curing epidemics. But even as she flourishes in her new life, her homeland is under threat of destruction!
The light novels began in April 2021 and have six volumes as of June 2024. Before the light novels, The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold To Another Kingdom started as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel in 2020.
