Hero Bunko‘s official X/Twitter account has announced that Living It Up in Another World Until I Get Bored, the light novel series by Sanmongarasu, is getting a TV anime adaptation.

Story

The series follows an ordinary man in his thirties who, on his way home one day, suddenly finds himself transported to another world — a game-like realm governed by levels, magic, skills, and other fantastical rules. Almost without effort, he finds himself in possession of tremendous power. Faced with that strength, three paths open before him: stand with humanity and become a hero, side with the demons and plunge the world into chaos, or choose neither and simply use his power for his own amusement. For him, the answer is a no-brainer. And so begins his journey through another world, living exactly as he pleases — until he gets bored.

Series History

Sanmongarasu first published the story as a web novel on Shōsetsuka ni Narō in June 2016. The first light novel volume, featuring illustrations by Tomozo, was published in Japan in April 2019 under Hero Bunko. The series currently spans seven volumes, with the eighth volume scheduled to ship on November 30.

A manga adaptation drawn by SAA launched in Shufunotomo’s Hero Comic in July 2025, and the manga’s first compiled volume was released on September 30. The English-language rights to the light novels are held by Hanashi Media.

Further details on the TV anime — including cast, staff, and premiere date — have yet to be announced.
