Magic Repo Man: Dumped by My Party, I’ll Cash In With a Cute Support Fairy to Become the Strongest! began its Japanese television run on October 3. The official PV 2 above previews Lent meeting new party members and allies. It also offers a listen to “Risk rate,” the opening theme by BUDDiiS; Kotani performs the ending song “Vase.” The new fantasy series follows a support mage who can demand his magic back, which is bad news for the friends who thought they could kick him out without losing anything.
How Lent’s support gift becomes a comeback
Magic points fuel spells, techniques and special abilities in Lent’s fantasy world, so parties can always use more. Lent’s rare support Gift, Magic Storage, lets him lend large amounts of MP to his companions. He joins friends from his hometown, and his skill helps them grow into formidable adventurers.
Once those friends decide Lent is no longer useful, they expel him. He then discovers Magic Storage has a hidden power: it can forcibly collect borrowed magic, with interest. The skill that made the party stronger becomes Lent’s way to build power for himself.
That switch makes the premise more than a sudden power-up. Lent goes from holding his team together to reclaiming the resource they used to thrive, turning the former party’s dependence on him into an active source of conflict.
Empee and Linka join the new party
Empee is Lent’s support fairy. Her cute appearance hides a devilish side, and managing magic is her passion. She has little patience with people who abuse Lent’s ability. Emiri Kato voices her.
Linka becomes one of Lent’s first new allies after he rescues her from danger. Like him, she has been discarded by a party, and the two set out together. Reiji Kawashima voices Lent, while Risae Matsuda plays Linka.
The friends who cast Lent out
Guy leads Lent’s former B-rank party and is a swordsman from their hometown, voiced by Daiki Hamano. Akira Sekine plays Misa, its sorcerer, and Yu Kobayashi plays Elle, its healer. They are among the friends who expelled Lent, making them more than anonymous debtors.
Roger offers a contrast. Voiced by Daisuke Namikawa, he leads the A-rank party Ryuseigun, is friendly with Lent and looks after younger adventurers.
Who’s who in Magic Repo Man
The English manga continues Lent’s story
The anime adapts the manga by Shingou Iijima, based on Masakichi’s original work. Seven Seas began its English-language edition with Volume 1 on August 4, extending Lent’s magic-loan premise to English-language readers.
Volume 2 is scheduled for October 27. Lent begins an adventure alone, then meets Linka after rescuing her. The story’s next step is a new partnership rather than a return to his old group.
Staff, songs and the idea behind the magic
SynergySP produces the anime, directed by Takahiro Tamano. Ryusuke Mori handles series composition, Kazue Mori designs the characters and Ko Otani composes the music. The wider staff includes color designer Haruko Nobori, art director Kazuhiro Arai, cinematographer Yohei Konishi, editor Masaki Sakamoto and sound director Keiko Urakami.
At the anime announcement, Masakichi recalled readers hoping younger audiences might discover the story and even suggesting it could serve as high-school finance-education material. He added this hope for viewers:
“I hope that while enjoying the series, viewers also find the opportunity to take interest in money and finance.”
— Masakichi, original author
The loan-and-interest language gives the magic system a playful frame, while the plot stays focused on Lent, his partners and the group that rejected him. The contrast between a rigid power rule and changing friendships is what keeps the premise moving from one party to the next.
Where to watch in Japan
The Japanese broadcast began in TV Asahi’s late-night Saturday, October 3 slot, across its nationwide 24-station network. The 1:30 a.m. JST airtime falls after midnight, early Sunday, October 4. ABEMA and d Anime Store follow at 2:00 a.m. JST, also as part of the late-Saturday schedule. Additional broadcasts run on BS Asahi, AT-X and CS TV Asahi Channel 1.
Those times and services apply to Japan. Viewers elsewhere should check their own local catalogue rather than assume a Japanese streaming announcement covers their country. The English manga offers another way to meet Lent and Empee while the television adaptation begins its run.
