The four main voice actresses from the original visual novel are reprising their roles for the anime adaptation, which include:
- • Sora Haruka (pseudonym of Eri Sendai) as Yoshino Tomotake

Japanese singer KOTOKO is also performing the anime’s opening theme song, which has not yet been given a title. She previously sang the visual novel’s theme song.
Senren＊Banka was first released by Yuzusoft on July 29, 2016. It was later localized in English by NekoNyan and released on Steam in February 2020 and on the Nintendo Switch store in May 2022.
A manga adaptation by Erika Kiduki was published by Kadokawa between 2016 to 2017 and released two total tankobon volumes.
The main synopsis of the Senren＊Banka visual novel is described on its English website as:
Deep in the mountains lies Hoori, a small village so remote that no trains stop there. Due to its isolation, it has resisted the spread of civilization. However, its rustic charm and hot springs have transformed it into a famous tourist destination.
One of the village’s biggest draws is the divine blade Murasamemaru, stuck in a stone from which no one has been able to pull it out of… until our protagonist Arichi Masaomi manages to break it in half.
Before he can even come to grips with what just happened, he’s forced to make amends for what he’s done. How, you might ask? By marrying the village’s shrine maiden, of course!
He’s already in way over his head, but this is just the start of his mysterious and unfathomable new life in this village. Masaomi then goes on to meet his new fiancée, discovers an enigmatic and strange girl that only he can touch and begins to learn about the curse afflicting the village of Hoori.
Amidst this hectic new life, who will he set his heart on? The answers he seeks lie within the legendary sword in his hands.
