Who knew that blessing from Gorilla God makes you strongest...and the most loved girl among the Royal Knights?! Popular manga series adopted to anime from April 2025!
Sophia Riller, sixteen years old, was about to attend the Blessing Ceremony--a ritual in which a boy or girl of sixteen years is gifted with abilities from one of the various animal gods. A blessing from one of the bird gods could grant wings that allow one to soar through the skies. The boons are many and varied. Sophia, a clumsy type, was hoping that she would be chosen by a god that doesn't stand out...but...it was the Gorilla God who chose her! She was told that those blessed by the Gorilla God will have a gift for combat and needs to take the exam to become a Junior Knight. On the exam day, she met Louis, a handsome knight-to-be and two boys, who soon found out who Sophia was blessed by. Her life changes completely from that day...
From chapter 1, it is promising and made me curious enough to want to continue reading. It seems like a mix of action/comedy/some romance. It is slightly predictable as you can image she hoped to be blessed by a god that wouldn't make her stand out and she ends up getting a rare one. I do hope the series doesn't lean more toward the romance side (read this before the anime but anime seems to be leaning that way). But hope for a nice balance.
