The ending theme song performer has been revealed for The Legendary Hero is Dead! (known in Japan as Yuusha ga Shinda!), an upcoming TV anime based on the comic fantasy manga about a lecherous farmboy who has to take on the role of legendary hero after accidentally killing off the real deal.

The ending theme song, entitled “Kawaikutte Ijiwarushichau” (“So Cute, I Want to Bully It”), is performed by Yurika Kubo, who also provides the voice for Marguerit Farom in the series.

The original The Legendary Hero is Dead! manga by Subaruichi is serialized in Japan by Shogakukan in their Ura Sunday shonen manga magazine and on their Manga One digital manga app, and an English language version is also available from Shogakukan Asia. Crunchyroll describes the story of the series as follows:

Far to the north of the world lies Hell’s Gate, a portal formerly used by the Demon Lord to invade the human realm. Thanks to the legendary hero Shion Bladearts, wielder of Excalibur, and his loyal band of companions, the Gate was sealed off and the demonic threat was vanquished.

Unfortunately, the seal was incomplete and has begun to weaken, allowing the demons to once again begin their attack. Worried about the safety of his village, selfish and perverted farmer Touka Scott digs pitfalls to defend against the demons. But fear not, for Shion is on his way to reseal Hell’s Gate and save humanity!

Or at least he was, because the legendary hero is dead, having fallen into one of the pitfalls Touka dug. Luckily, dealing with the dead is the specialty of necromancer Anri Haynesworth. While she can’t revive him, Anri can at least salvage their quest by forcing Touka’s soul into Shion’s rotting body and dragging him along to Hell’s Gate in Shion’s place. Not wanting to be left behind, Touka’s childhood friend Yuna Yunis tags along. Together, the three of them set out as what just might be the most unsuitable party to ever try to save the world!
