Nia Liston First PV & Key Visual Lock October 6 TV Debut

Fall 2026 just got a sharper edge. The official site for Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden has dropped the series’ first promotional video alongside a striking key visual, finally putting motion to the frail-looking noble whose soul once felled gods.

Broadcast plans are locked: the show premieres October 6 at 9:25 p.m. on Tokyo MX, with BS Nippon TV and MBS following the same night. Fans who can’t wait can catch the first three episodes early at a special stage event and advance screening on September 22 at esports TOKYO BAY studio.

Three new voices join the fray. Fuuka Izumi plays devoted maid Rinokis Funk, Rina Honizumi steps in as princess-talent Hildetora Altoir, and Rina Hidaka voices rival noble Reliared Silver. Honoka Inoue continues as the title “merciless maiden” herself.

Motoki Nakanishi directs at Konami animation, with series composition by Gigaemon Ichikawa, character designs by Yuuki Itou and Kana Tosaoka, and music from Naoki Endou. Adapted from Umikaze Minamino’s light novel (over 2.1 million copies in circulation), the story follows a legendary warrior reborn in a sickly young lady’s body—and still hunting worthy fights.
