Produced by Lay-duce, Clevatess anime serves as an adaptation of the original manga series (Clevatess - The King of Magical Beasts, the Baby, and the Corpse Hero), written and illustrated by Yuji Iwahara. Line Digital Frontier's Line Manga service has been serializing the manga since August 2020. Additionally, the series is published on the Comic Alive+ website.

Clevatess anime set to debut in July 2025

According to the official staff on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, the Clevatess anime will begin its broadcast in July 2025, i.e., in Summer 2025. In addition, the anime's staff has unveiled a new episodic visual, featuring Toara, gently watching over her child, Luna, immediately after giving birth.

Interestingly, the visual is accompanied by a new story from the original mangaka, Yuji Iwahara. It's a short story, beginning with Taora's attendant congratulating her on the birth of a healthy boy. Overwhelmed with emotions, Taora swears to protect him. Her attendant says the Majety is also pleased with the birth of his heir, a grandson.

Just then, Taora thinks about the boy's eventual fate. Since he is born as the prince of Heiden, he cannot escape the "legend of the hero and his fate in the forge." That's why, Taora wants to make it to the day before the naming ceremony. When her attendant asks if something is wrong, Taora says there's no need for concern.
