Densetsu no Yusha no Densetsu

Riner Lute (the spelling is our guess), our hero, is a lazy student with magic eyes who gets mixed up in a war between two kingdoms, Roland and Estabule.

Felice Ellis, the heroine, is a beautiful but violent soldier who accompanies Riner on his quest for the "Legendary Hero's Relic". She's addicted to dango.

Sion Astor(another guess here), King of Roland. Born to a mistress of the late King, he took the crown by a revolution after meeting Riner at the Royal Academy. His body and mind is slowly becoming contaminated by something.

In 2008 a rumour came out about Densetsu no Yusha no Densetsu being animated by Gonzo, which didn't happen. The cast and staff are as yet to be announced.
