What is I Got A Cheat Skill in Another World?
I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World is based on a light novel series of the same name written by Miku and illustrated by Rein Kuwashima. The story revolves around a lonely fifteen-year-old boy named Yuuya who has been bullied and ostracized his entire life. In a deviation from the standard isekai formula, Yuuya does not die and get reborn into a fantasy realm. Instead, he inherits a house from his deceased grandfather containing a doorway that leads him to the new world. When he passes through, Yuuya gains access to a plethora of incredible new abilities, including one that allows him to travel back and forth between the worlds while maintaining his overpowered state.
Unlimited Produce unveiled the full cast and staff list for the upcoming series in addition to the first trailer. Shingo Tanabe (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean) directs the series alongside Chief Director and Series Composition writer Shin Itagaki (So I’m a Spider, So What?).

Akari Kito, who plays Tanjiro’s sister, Nezuko, in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, will co-star as Yuuya’s close friend, Kaori Hojo.
