Alderamin on the Sky
Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin
What is Alderamin on the Sky?
Alderamin on the Sky follows Ikuta, a clever but reluctant 17-year-old who stumbles into military service during an empire-wide conflict. Despite his aversion to war and preference for leisure, his exceptional intellect quickly earns him recognition as a brilliant commander. This 2016 summer series blends military strategy with character-driven drama across 13 episodes.
The Katvarna Empire is at war with the neighboring Republic of Kioka. In the Katvarna Empire, the lazy, woman-admiring Ikuta hates war, but due to certain circumstances, he grudgingly takes the High Grade Military Officer Exam. No one would have expected that this 17-year-old young man would eventually become a soldier called a great commander by others. Ikuta survives this world engulfed in war with his superior intellect.
