An anime adaptation for ROLL OVER AND DIE: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword! has been announced by GC Novels on Monday, alongside the release of the manga’s seventh volume in Japan.

To celebrate, commemorative illustrations by light novel illustrator Kinta, manga artist Sunao Minakata, and new cover illustrator kodamazon were unveiled. Further details, including staff, cast, and release date, have yet to be announced.

The anime adaptation of ROLL OVER AND DIE: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword! is based on the light novel series written by kiki and illustrated by kinta. It first began as a web novel on the user-generated site Shosetsuka ni Naro in January 2018. Micro Magazine later acquired the series and started publishing it in print under their GC Novels imprint in July 2018. Seven Seas Entertainment is licensing the title in English.

A manga adaptation, illustrated by Sunao Minakata, has been serialized online via Micro Magazine’s Comic Ride website since December 2018, and it too has been licensed in English by Seven Seas Entertainment.

Seven Seas Entertainment describes the story as follows:
Flum Apricot was never meant to be a hero. Despite zero stats across the board and a power she can’t even use, she somehow finds herself included in a party of heroes. But Flum’s life hits rock bottom when the party’s renowned sage, Jean Inteige, decides that the useless girl is dead weight, and arranges to have her sold into slavery. Tossed to monsters to be feasted upon for her master’s entertainment, Flum makes the desperate choice to reach for a cursed weapon…and something new awakens within her. A grimdark tale about one woman’s blood-soaked quest to reclaim her life!
