Get ready for some heart-pounding fantasy romance! The official website for the upcoming TV anime Yuusha Party ni Kawaii Ko ga Ita node, Kokuhaku shitemita. (also known as There was a Cute Girl in the Hero’s Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her.) just dropped a bundle of exciting news. We’ve got new cast members, a cozy Christmas-themed visual, and details on the show’s music, all pointing towards a January 2026 premiere.
The story follows a daring confession in the most unlikely of places—right in the middle of a hero’s quest. It’s a fresh take on isekai romance that has fans buzzing.
Key Production & Broadcast Info
The anime is scheduled to begin its journey on January 6, 2026. You can catch it at 11:00 PM on Tokyo MX, with subsequent broadcasts on BS11, AT-X, Hokkaido Broadcasting, and RKB Mainichi Broadcasting. The project is being brought to life by studio Gekkou.
Meet the New Voices Joining the Party
The hero’s party is getting a bit bigger! Two new voice actors have been announced for key supporting roles.

|---|---|---|
| Shike | Sakurai Momo | Maou-sama, Retry! R |

The Sound of Adventure & Romance
Every great adventure needs a great soundtrack, and this one is shaping up nicely. The opening theme, titled “Lavish!!”, will be performed by singer Yoshino (known for Hitoribocchi no Isekai Kouryaku). For the ending theme, Oomiya Hiyori will lend her voice to “Kimi Kouryaku Game.”
But wait, there’s more! A special ending theme called “YES! Summer Love♡” will be performed by a trio from the cast itself: Murase Ayumu, Sakurai Momo, and Ozawa Aimi.
The Creative Team Behind the Scenes
A talented group is steering this project. Directing the series is Mine Tomonori (Meitou “Isekai no Yu” Kaitakuki). Handling the series composition and scripts is Sugawara Yukie (Sentouin, Haken shimasu!). The character designs, which bring the manga’s charm to life, are by Oosawa Mina (Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii?). Finally, the music composition is in the capable hands of Kousaki Satoru (Aharen-san wa Hakarenai) and the team at MONACA (Assassins Pride).
From Novel to Manga to Anime
The journey to the screen started a while back. The original light novel was penned by Suisei on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website, with Futabasha’s Monster Bunko imprint publishing it with illustrations by La-na. The manga adaptation, illustrated by Kairi, began serialization in Manga Gaugau in 2021 and has been steadily releasing volumes since, building a dedicated fanbase that’s now eager to see the story animated.
