The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold To Another Kingdom light novel series is getting an anime adaptation. A teaser visual and trailer were unveiled and Yui Ishikawa is voicing the main character Philia. The anime is set to premiere in 2025.

Shu Watanabe is directing the anime at studio TROYCA. Keiichiro Ochi is writing the series composition, and Shuhei Yamamoto is designing the characters.

The anime is based on the light novel series written by Koki Fuyutsuki and illustrated by Masami. It was originally serialized on the user-generated novel platform Shosetsuka ni Narō from July 2020 to January 2022. It was later acquired by Overlap, which began publishing the series under its Overlap Novels imprint in April 2021. A manga adaptation, illustrated by Mago Ayakita, started serialization on Overlap’s Comic Gardo manga service in November 2021.

Seven Seas is releasing the light novel in English and they describe it as:
Philia’s family has produced saints for generations. It’s no surprise that she’s known as the greatest saint of all time—and set to marry the second prince, Julius. What no one expects is for Julius to call off the engagement, claiming that Philia’s perfection makes her charmless and unlikable. To add insult to injury, Philia is packed off to a neighboring country in exchange for gold and resources, forcing her to leave her homeland! Despite bracing herself for mistreatment, Philia finds a warm welcome in her new town, where she puts her saintly abilities to good use erecting barriers against monsters and curing epidemics. But even as she flourishes in her new life, her homeland is under threat of destruction!
