Arguably the most highly anticipated non-isekai fantasy series of the Winter 2025 anime season is I May Be a Guild Receptionist season 1. Serving as the television anime adaptation of author Mato Kousaka and illustrator Gaou’s original light novel series (fully titled I May Be a Guild Receptionist, But I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time), fans are eager to see what the series has in store.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that verifiable leaks for I May Be a Guild Receptionist season 1 will emerge at any point during the series, especially since none were available prior to its premiere. Thankfully, there is confirmed weekly release information for the series, along with an officially confirmed episode count, thanks to the official website’s Blu-ray listings.

Based on the first episode, I May Be a Guild Receptionist season 1 is expected to focus on the protagonist, Alina Clover, as she struggles to keep her day job, and her secret identity. She will likely face conflict and pressure primarily from the Silver Sword adventuring party as they attempt to recruit her. However, the first episode also hinted at other threats lurking in the shadows, suggesting that these two plotlines may merge at some point in the first season.
