Watch the Teaser PV#
The teaser runs 1 minute 13 seconds. It shows the start of life under one roof for Eugene, who wants to master the sword, and Liza, the strongest fighter around and a complete airhead at home.
What Is the Anime About?#
Eugene Dawson is a boy who wants to master the way of the sword. He starts live-in training under Liza, the woman he looks up to and a fighter famed as the strongest there is.
Liza's skill is so overwhelming that people call her the Sword Saint. Around the house she's a different person, careless to a surprising degree.
Her unguarded habits throw Eugene off so badly that training becomes the last thing on his mind. The official site calls it a chaotic live-in romantic comedy about a ditzy master and the apprentice who grows while being dragged along.
How they ended up living together#
Liza is a count's daughter who led humanity to victory in a great war a few years ago. Eugene's mother, Cordelia, was her best friend and comrade, and died in that war.
Before the war, Cordelia asked Liza to look after Eugene if anything happened to her. Liza is keeping that promise.
