The anime's official website and X (formerly Twitter) opened today with a teaser trailer and visual. The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power: Forget My Sister! Turns Out I Was the Real Saint All Along! Teaser Trailer Teaser Visual The trailer also revealed the anime's three main voice cast members: Carolina Sanchez voiced by Rie Takahashi (Megumin in KONOSUBA -God's blessing on this wonderful world! ) Edward Ruby Martinez voice by Makoto Furukawa (Saitama in One-Punch Man ) Flora Sanchez voiced by Haruka Shiraishi (Asripa in Golden Kamuy ) Message from Rie Takahashi: We are currently working hard on this anime project, so I hope you are looking forward to seeing it. We will do our best in voice recording with the scenery of this stage in mind, and new information will be announced in the future, so I hope you will be able to follow along! Thank you for your support! Message from Makoto Furukawa: The word “political marriage” was mentioned, but this is a work that also has aspects of a story between countries. This means that there are a lot of characters in the story, and there are many more fascinating characters than the ones introduced today. As we are currently recording, I feel that this is becoming an anime work in which each character is carefully and thoroughly explored. There are still some members of the cast who have not yet been announced, I am sure that there will be a lot of emotions and sentiments to be gained from this work, and I would be very grateful if you could look forward to it, and hopefully, you will read the original novel as well! Please look forward to the broadcast! Message from Haruka Shiraishi: Carolina's forward-looking attitude gives me courage, and Flora's strong determination to defend her position in her upbringing inspires me. I believe that this is a work that will be received differently depending on the viewpoint from which you watch it. I would be very happy if you could support this work.

The entire series has printed over one million copies in total. J-Novel Club, which has released an English edition of both the novel and manga , describes the series as such: Lady Carolina, the overlooked daughter of a powerful duke, has always believed herself to be the black sheep amid her illustrious kin. Her father is the distinguished prime minister; her elder sister, a prodigious mage destined to become their nation’s next Saint. In comparison, Carolina resigns herself to a quiet existence in their shadows until a sudden and unexpected royal decree alters her destiny, thrusting her into a political marriage with the formidable “Bloodthirsty Prince” of the neighboring Empire of Malcosias. Determined to prove her worth, Carolina takes a bold step into a world fraught with both political and mortal peril. As royal obligations intertwine with hints of true love and the stirrings of her own latent power, Carolina moves ever closer to understanding what it truly means to be exceptional.
