Tsuihou sareta Cheat Fuyo Majutsushi Anime Announced and the question is…. The Girls will be Cute?

The anime of Tsuihou sareta Cheat Fuyo Majutsushi has officially been announced by P.A.Works, and I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to talk about this. Right now, the only visual released shows the two main characters from behind, and I honestly think that was done on purpose.

Why do I say that? Because Tsuihou sareta Cheat Fuyo Majutsushi has both a light novel and a manga version, and the art between these two is completely different.
For example, in the light novel, the girls are drawn in a very cute and appealing way, with a more polished and traditional anime aesthetic.

But in the manga, they look completely different.

You might think I’m just showing the worst manga panels, but no. Believe me, the entire manga looks like that. I’ve read several chapters myself, and that’s simply the art style used throughout the series.
In fact, after the anime of Tsuihou sareta Cheat Fuyo Majutsushi was announced, both the light novel illustrator and the manga artist released commemorative illustrations.
The light novel illustrations follow a more conventional and cute anime style, while the manga illustrations embrace a much more chaotic and exaggerated look.

Because of this, one of the biggest questions surrounding the anime of Tsuihou sareta Cheat Fuyo Majutsushi is which art style it will follow. Will it prioritize the cleaner and cuter light novel design, or will it embrace the chaotic and unconventional manga version?
I’ve wanted to talk about this difference for a long time. I’ve kept this topic in mind for ages, and now that the anime has been announced, it’s finally the perfect moment to bring attention to this fascinating contrast in artistic direction.
