Kadokawa has officially confirmed that Hidenori Yamaji’s fantasy manga Soara to Mamono no Ie (also known as Soara and the House of Monsters) will receive a television anime adaptation, with a premiere window set for 2027. The announcement arrived through a newly launched official website on Wednesday, which also introduced the main cast and creative team, along with an ultra teaser visual and a promotional video.
The series follows Soara, a young orphan raised by knights and trained to fight monsters, who finds herself displaced when peace unexpectedly breaks out across the kingdom. Her journey takes a sharp turn when she meets Krik, a dwarf and leader of the Monster Architects, and begins constructing homes for the very creatures she was trained to destroy. What emerges is a story about reinvention, belonging, and the unusual families we build along the way.
Ikumi Hasegawa, known for her role in 86, will voice the protagonist Soara, while Ayumu Murase, recognized for his work in Mairimashita! Iruma-kun, takes on the role of Krik. This casting choice already signals a strong emphasis on emotional range and comedic timing, both of which are central to the manga’s tone.
Creative Team Brings Proven Experience to the Adaptation
The production staff assembled for this project draws from several notable titles, reflecting Kadokawa’s intent to deliver a polished adaptation. Takaharu Ozaki, who directed Goblin Slayer, will direct the series at Felix Film. Ozaki’s previous work demonstrates a capability to balance dark fantasy elements with moments of quiet character development, a skill set that suits Soara to Mamono no Ie particularly well given its shift from combat to construction.
Ayumu Hisao handles series composition, bringing experience from Shunkashuutou Daikousha: Haru no Mai. Character design falls to Tomoko Iwasa, whose credits include Hakumei to Mikochi, a series celebrated for its warm, detailed depiction of small-scale daily life. This background is especially relevant for a manga centered on architecture and domestic spaces. The music will be composed by Hinako Tsubakiyama, known for Saigo ni Hitotsu dake Onegai shitemo Yoroshii deshou ka.
Felix Film, the studio behind the adaptation, has steadily built a reputation for solid fantasy and slice-of-life productions, making this project a logical addition to their portfolio.
What Is the Story of Soara and the House of Monsters?
Soara is a young girl who spent her childhood training with knights to fight the monsters that plagued her kingdom. By the time she is ready to join the fight, a peace treaty has been declared, and her combat skills are no longer needed. Searching for a new purpose, she meets Krik, the leader of a group called the Monster Architects. Rather than slaying monsters, Soara begins helping Krik build comfortable homes for them. In doing so, she may find not only a new career but also a new family.
The manga’s core premise inverts the classic monster-hunting narrative, replacing destruction with construction and isolation with community. This thematic reversal has resonated strongly with readers since the series began.
Manga Publication and English Release History
Hidenori Yamaji launched the manga in Shogakukan’s Shounen Sunday Super magazine in November 2021. The series has since released six compiled volumes, with the sixth arriving in October 2025. A seventh volume is scheduled for August 10 of this year.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga for English-language distribution in November 2022 and released the sixth volume on May 26. The English release has helped the series reach a broader international audience, building anticipation for this anime adaptation.
Ultra Teaser Visual and Promotional Video Revealed
The announcement included an ultra teaser visual, which offers a first look at the series’ art style and atmosphere. An ultra teaser promotional video has also been released, providing a brief but evocative glimpse into the world of Soara and the Monster Architects. The teaser highlights the contrast between Soara’s warrior background and her new role as a builder, visually establishing the story’s central tension.
The official website for the anime is now live at soara-anime.com, and the official X account @soara_anime will serve as the primary channel for future updates. Fans looking for additional details can also refer to the series page on MyAnimeList.
When Will the Soara to Mamono no Ie Anime Premiere?
The television anime adaptation of Soara to Mamono no Ie is scheduled to premiere in 2027. An exact month and date have not yet been announced. Given the 2027 window, production is likely still in its early stages, and further details about episode count, streaming platforms, and additional cast members can be expected over the coming months.
The source material, the manga Soara to Mamono no Ie by Hidenori Yamaji, began serialization in Shounen Sunday Super in November 2021 and is published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment. The anime is being produced by Kadokawa and animated by Felix Film.
This adaptation arrives at a time when fantasy anime with unconventional premises and strong character-driven stories are finding increasingly receptive audiences. The combination of a talented creative team, a well-regarded source material, and a refreshingly original concept positions Soara and the House of Monsters as a title worth watching closely as its 2027 premiere approaches.
