Now if you can bear with me, the protagonist, a young man who role-played as a Dunbulf (a wise old wizard with no relation to Gandalf whatsoever!!), is stuck in the body of a female loli avatar Mira which he made for fun. 

If you are still confused as to who is who, its anime adaptation will hopefully clear it out for you!

Funimation co-production “She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man” just revealed two more cast members headed for the latest isekai series. 

The isekai anime takes place in a game called Arch Earth Online, famous for its medieval-esque setting.

Ayumu Murase is lending his voice to the character Solomon while Luminaria is being voiced by Minami Hinata.

The cast of She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man includes:

Luminaria Minami HinataBojji (Ōsama Ranking)

Funimation describes Solomon as the King of Arkite Kingdom, a dignified figure in front of his subject. Still, he’s a pretty friendly person who deeply cares about his kingdom and is a close friend to Dunbulf.

On the other hand, Luminaria, better known as  ‘Luminaria the Calamity’, is one of the Nine Wise Men of Arkite and an old friend to Dunbulf and Solomon.

The “She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man” anime would be exclusively available on Funimation because it’s a co-production between Kodakawa, Funimation, and Studio A-Cat.

However, if you live in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, you can catch the simulcast on Wakanim and AnimeLab, respectively.

From the trailer and visuals, we can see that the anime takes the Russian doll concept to the next level with so many identities linked to a single person.

I can’t wait to see the dynamic between the three characters, especially if Sakimori Kagami enjoys being a kawaii girl? 

It might be hard to rebuild stats from scratch, but will his love for the game make him overcome the hurdle? 

The new anime will answer many such questions!
