My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1 gets anime – cool new isekai series on its way

The My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1 light novel series is getting a TV anime.

The light novel series (aka Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill de Saikyou desu in Japanese) by Nazuna Miki and Mawata currently has eight volumes out in Japan.

Its ninth volume is due to be published next Monday.

The English version of My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1 in both manga and light novel form is currently being published by Kodansha Comics,

The publisher has seven volumes out in English so far, with publishing volumes so fast they are almost caught up to the Japanese.

Kodansha has this to say about the story:

Ryota Sato gets the surprise of his life when he’s suddenly transported into another world and nearly clobbered at the hands of the young, pretty adventurer Emily Brown.

This new world revolves around defeating monsters and profiting on whatever they drop—food, money, items, etc.

Unfortunately for Ryota, he has no skills to speak of…until he learns he has the ability to get rare drops! Suddenly his luck turns around…or does it?

If you enjoy a good isekai anime, the first three volumes of the manga that I have read tell me this one should be a good one.

No word yet on who is directing the My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1 anime series, or who will be in charge of the series’ animation production.

We will let you know as soon as we find out.

Update Note: Maho Film has been named as the anime studio producing the upcoming anime.
