The original Ben-To light novel series written by Asaura was first published in Japan.
The Ben-To anime TV series adaptation aired in Japan, bringing the popular light novel to the screen.
The manga adaptation of Ben-To started serialization, adding visual storytelling to the series.
Season 1 was one of my favorite anime binges in a long time. Such a fun mix of thoughtfulness (movement through time), silliness, and cool scenes (The Ruins of The King's Tomb). I can't wait to watch season 2. I know it's airing as I write this, but I like taking in entire seasons at once if I can manage it.
