'Because I, the True Saint, was Banished, that Country is Done For!' (Gerçek Aziz Olarak Sürgün Edildiğim İçin O Ülke Mahvoldu!) series has exciting news for fans: Shikiso Utsuzawa's popular light novel series is getting a television anime adaptation in 2027. According to Anime News Network's report on July 23, 2026, the production will be handled by studio Tsumugi Akita Anime Lab.

The anime will feature two experienced voice actors in the lead roles: Masumi Tazawa and Taku Yashiro. Tazawa has previously performed in productions such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Horimiya, while Yashiro is known for his performances in popular series like Haikyuu!! and Attack on Titan. The announcement of the cast has further increased fans' expectations.

The series tells the story of a true saint who was unjustly exiled. The country that banished him faces ruin, while the saint starts a new life. This isekai and fantasy story revolves around a strong female protagonist. The light novel series was first published in 2021 and quickly gained a wide readership. The series, which also has a manga adaptation, has been published in many languages and has built a global fan base.

Tsumugi Akita Anime Lab, despite being a relatively young studio, has produced quality works such as Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! (The Eminence in Shadow). This project is seen as an important step in the studio's growing portfolio. The anime is planned for release in 2027, but no exact date has been announced yet; however, new trailers and visuals are expected to be released in the coming months. We eagerly await 2027 to see the story of the exiled saint come to life!
