The upcoming spy action comedy Victoria of Many Faces is ready to make its way to screens this summer. The anime adaptation of the popular light novel series just got a firm release date. The official Crunchyroll news page confirmed on June 5, 2026, that the show will premiere on July 7, 2026. Along with the date, a short trailer gave viewers another peek at the main character Chloe, who now lives under the name Victoria.
New Trailer Shows Action and Disguise Work
The latest short trailer focuses on Victoria Sellers, a former spy trying to live a normal life. But her past skills keep pulling her back into dangerous situations. The video shows her changing faces and using clever tricks to get out of trouble. Fans of the light novel will recognize key moments where Victoria protects those around her. The trailer also gives a quick look at Nonna, a young girl Victoria takes in, and Jeffrey Asher, a knight who gets involved in her new life. Studio DEEN is handling the animation, and the art style matches the light novel’s original look.
Story Follows a Spy Who Wants Out
The series starts with Chloe, a top spy known for her disguise skills. After her own boss betrays her, she runs away. She changes her name to Victoria and moves to the nearby kingdom of Ashberry. Her only wish is to live a quiet, normal life. But trouble follows her. She meets Nonna, a left-behind child, and Jeffrey, the leader of the knights. Soon, her spy training becomes useful again. People from her old life also start to notice her. The story shows Victoria learning what happiness really means while dealing with threats from her past.
“Victoriaโs peaceful life is abruptly cut short as she begins to get involved with many people. In this new land, her experiences and abilities from her days as a spy come in far more useful than she ever expected.”
Main Cast and Crew Behind the Show
Chika Anzai gives her voice to Victoria Sellers. Shion Wakayama plays Nonna. Yohei Azakami takes on the role of Jeffrey Asher. Anzai and Wakayama previously worked together on Lycoris Recoil, which has fans excited to see them share screen time again.
Nobukage Kimura directs the show. Naohiro Fukushima handles the series composition. Mina Osawa designs the characters. The opening and ending songs will be performed by KI_EN, a three-member band from Kyoto.
Streaming Details for Global Fans
Crunchyroll will stream Victoria of Many Faces at the same time as it airs in Japan. This means fans in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and India can watch each episode shortly after it premieres. The service has listed the show in its July 2026 simulcast lineup. For viewers in India, the show will be available with the same schedule as other regions. Subtitles will be offered in multiple languages.
Where the Story Comes From
The original story started on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website in September 2021. Writer Syuu and illustrator Nanna Fujimi created the series. Media Factory later picked it up and started publishing physical copies under their MF Books label in July 2022. So far, three volumes have been released. A manga version drawn by Komo Ushino began on Kadokawaโs ComicWalker website in December 2022. Yen Press holds the English license for the light novel. This gives English readers a chance to read the original story before or while watching the anime.
What Makes This Show Different
Many spy stories focus on secret missions and world-saving tasks. Victoria of Many Faces takes a different path. The main character does not want to save a country or stop a war. She just wants to buy groceries, make friends, and live without fear. But her skills keep getting in the way. She can change her appearance perfectly. She knows how to fight and how to read people. In a normal town, these skills make her stand out. People start to ask questions. Enemies from her old life want to find her. The show mixes everyday life problems with action scenes. One minute Victoria might be cooking dinner, and the next she is fighting off a group of spies.
Fan Interest Grows as Release Nears
Social media posts about the show have gone up since the new trailer came out. Many fans of the light novel said they are happy to see the characters come to life. The pairing of Anzai and Wakayama again after Lycoris Recoil is a big talking point. That show was very popular, and viewers trust the two actresses to deliver strong performances. Early comments also praise the animation quality from Studio DEEN. The studio has worked on many well-known shows, including Rurouni Kenshin and Fate/stay night.
