Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? New Project TeasedIs it wrong to tease a new Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? project?

If so, the official Twitter feed for the series doesn’t want to be right.

According to a tweet from said account today, “something new” is in the works for the franchise.

Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, or DanMachi for short, is celebrating its fifth anniversary. It started life as a series of light novels by Fujino Omori, which was then adapted into an anime series and manga. Spinoff light novels and another anime series, Sword Oratoria, followed.

Yen Press describes the original light novel:

In Orario, fearless adventurers band together in search of fame and fortune within the monstrous underground labyrinth known as Dungeon.

But while riches and renown are incentive enough for most, Bell Cranel, would-be hero extraordinaire, has bigger plans.

He wants to pick up girls.

Is it wrong to face the perils of Dungeon alone, in a single-member guild blessed by a failed goddess? Maybe. Is it wrong to dream of playing hero to hapless maidens in Dungeon? Maybe not. After one misguided adventure, Bell quickly discovers that anything can happen in the labyrinth–even chance encounters with beautiful women. The only problem? He’s the one who winds up the damsel in distress!
