Released in 2016, Kagiji Kumanomata's Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle tells the story of a young princess who is kidnapped and put in a castle as a hostage; however, it's not all bad so long as she can beat her insomnia and get some sleep. Since its release, in the pages of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday, the series has published 14 volumes, with more chapters on the way.
Over the past few months, a brand new anime series has been announced that is based on the story. With only a few promos and a trailer, and some cast announcements, so far, many fans were wondering when the anime would actually release.
Thankfully, a brand new video has been released that confirms the show will be airing in Japan in early October! The show's original theme, "Kaimin! Anmin! Syalist Seikatsu" by Inori Minase was also revealed in the trailer.
