A reincarnated maid who's secretly the all-powerful heroine — and too busy cleaning to notice. The TV anime Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! (*Heroine? Seijo? Iie, All Works Maid desu*) locked its premiere with a new promo on May 31: it hits July 1, 2026, with an early stream a week ahead on June 24.
Quick answer
Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! premieres July 1, 2026 on Tokyo MX (10:00 p.m. JST), with early streaming June 24 at 10:30 p.m. JST on d Anime Store and ABEMA. It's produced by EMT Squared, directed by Naoya Murakawa under chief director Shinji Ishihira, adapting Atekichi's light novels (TO Books, art by Yukiko). The story follows Melody, a reincarnated girl working as an all-purpose maid in the kingdom of Théolas — unaware she's the invincible heroine of the otome game world she's living in. On SenpaiRanks, the summer 2026 board will track it on both Consensus and Quality once it airs.
The premise
Melody just wants to be a great maid — cleaning, serving, hunting, and DIY, all powered by her absurd magic. The catch: she's living inside an otome game where she's the destined saint and heroine, and she's completely oblivious to it. It's the wish-fulfillment-meets-workplace-comedy lane that's done well lately, leaning more cozy than combat.
The cast wave
Yume Miyamoto voices Melody Wave, with Rumi Ōkubo (Luciana Rudleberg), Kōhei Amasaki (Christopher Von Théolas), and Yōko Hikasa (Anna-Marie Victirium). The new promo added Yūki Ono as the knight Lectias Froude, Shun Horie as the mysterious Byūku, and Shūgo Nakamura as the Demon King. On music, the opening "Ma Dual↔Heart" is performed by Melody Wave and Luciana (Miyamoto and Ōkubo), while Shūgo Nakamura sings the ending, "Handmaid."
