The teaser PV released alongside the announcement has already sparked an explosive reaction among fans, drawn in by its stunning visuals and mysterious world-building.

A 17-Year-Old Sorcerer in the "Handyman Club"

The story follows the protagonist, "Kaida Haru," a 17-year-old second-year student at Kamigakushi High School. He is a member of the "Goyoukiki Club" (Handyman Club), and the plot suggests he spends his time resolving the troubles of various clients. The PV features intriguing dialogue, such as, "Wait, was that just the sound of the wind? How misleading," which has already sparked intense interest in his characterization and voice acting performance.

Fans Rejoice Over a Wave of New Content

Social media has been flooded with praise for the project, with fans commenting on the high quality of the visuals and Kaida's captivating acting.

Fans, known affectionately as "Hare-min," have shared their excitement, with some saying, "I'm so glad to be a Hare-min," and "There is so much content, I can't keep up!" Many were also surprised by the announcement, given his current busy schedule involving solo concert preparations and various media appearances.

First Episode Set to Premiere on April 25

The highly anticipated first episode is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, April 25, at 8:00 PM JST. The hashtag "#神隠高校の妖術使い" (The Sorcerer of Kamigakushi High School) has already trended on social media, showing an unprecedented level of excitement even before the release. Many are already hoping for future multimedia expansions of the series. Expectations are high to see what kind of feats this version of the sorcerer will perform this weekend.

The context

Haru Kaida is a popular Japanese Virtual YouTuber (VTuber) affiliated with the agency Nijisanji, managed by ANYCOLOR Inc. He is particularly well-known for his musical talents, including singing and playing the guitar. He is also a member of the unit VΔLZ (pronounced "Valz") alongside fellow VTubers Kei Nagao and Tojiro Genzuki. The "Sakuma" reference in the article refers to "Sakuma Taisen-tan," an ongoing lore-heavy project involving the VΔLZ members set in a fictional, traditional Japanese-style fantasy world.
