Roll Over and Die: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword!, the series of light novels by kiki is getting the TV anime treatment.
The series was announced today.
Seven Seas, which releases the novels in English, describes them like this:
Flum Apricot was never meant to be a hero. Despite zero stats across the board and a power she can’t even use, she somehow finds herself included in a party of heroes. But Flum’s life hits rock bottom when the party’s renowned sage, Jean Inteige, decides that the useless girl is dead weight, and arranges to have her sold into slavery. Tossed to monsters to be feasted upon for her master’s entertainment, Flum makes the desperate choice to reach for a cursed weapon…and something new awakens within her. A grimdark tale about one woman’s blood-soaked quest to reclaim her life!
A statement from author kiki released today reads, in part:
As readers may know, there are many scenes in this work that I thought would be difficult to make into an anime because of the very hard development of the story. However, the staff worked hard to the limit and created a wonderful work filled with yuri, battles, and more.
Roll Over and Die illustrators kodamazon (light novels from volume 5 onwards), kinta (volumes 1-4) and Sunao Minamikata (manga adaptation) all released illustrations celebrating the news:
