Scan of the fourth novel :


Synopsis from myanimelist forum :

Once upon a time, there was a tragic war, in which the power of the devils was involved. After the war, the devils' power was banned and the world was restored to peace. Cecily Campbell is a knight, who has been looking for a blacksmith to repair her old sword given by her father. One day, she saw a man fighting with a ruffian who used the tabooed devil's power. The man defeated him with one blow of his weirdly shaped sword. The man turned out to be a blacksmith called Luke. The fateful encounter was the beginning of the adventure.

[Falkor]

let's see, a red-haired female wielding a dangerous and sharp weapon on each of the covers... and meido outfits...

the story looks interesting... and I like the colour illustrations, especially the second one.

[Same_Shark]

Looks really cool and sexy! Let's hope Ali Project doesn't mess that up!

[jcdranzer]

Which animation studio do you think its gonna be ??

I believe the torrents for this "future" anime won't get hosted on animesuki....since its most likely gone be an MFI work. >>

[Same_Shark]

Hopefully not XEBEC, Bee Train, or Gonzo.

[jcdranzer]

I'm thinking it could be Zexcs....but then again Studio Deen could do it or even SHAFT.

Amidst the fact that Gonzo was hit by the financial crisis, their animes are still all pretty good!

I read the prologue of the manga and found it pretty interesting, so I think I'll keep a eye on this one.
