Official Announcement and Volume 15 Cover

Saint Gernhild Takes the Cover

The Volume 15 artwork places Gernhild at its center. She carries a large sword, wears gold-and-silver armor, and is framed by long pale hair.

Her calm expression contrasts with the battle-ready weapon and equipment, establishing her as a dangerous opponent for Takamichi.

Official promotional text identifies her as a true Saint, separating her from fighters who merely possess comparable strength or use a similar title.

Hifumi Shobo has not yet revealed the back cover, bonus pages, or the complete set of additional material included with the collected edition.

Ingrid Fights for the Frostland Throne

> Light spoiler notice: the following section discusses the official Volume 15 premise and events established in Volume 14.

Ingrid enters Volume 15 determined to take revenge and claim her position as the rightful successor to Frostland.

She must survive a deadly battle deciding who will occupy the throne. The dispute has moved beyond a private succession problem, as Frostland and the royal capital are already involved in open warfare.

Volume 14 previously revealed the shadow of a being described as “God” controlling Queen Emicia. Takamichi attempted to release her from that influence while carrying forward the previous king’s will.

Galahad also demonstrated the power of a Great Dragon Woman as Frostland approached possible collapse.

Volume 15 pushes those events toward a direct struggle for the throne with Ingrid at the center.

Gernhild Stands Before Takamichi

While Ingrid fights for succession, Takamichi encounters Gernhild.

The synopsis does not reveal the Saint’s complete objective or explain why she has become his opponent. Her possible connection to the power controlling Frostland also remains undisclosed.

Gernhild’s arrival transforms the conflict from a war between political regions into one involving forces beyond ordinary warriors.

Takamichi needs to protect the women traveling and fighting beside him. That pressure leads toward the awakening promoted as one of Volume 15’s main developments.

The resulting ability, transformation, and possible cost have not been explained before release.

A Chaotic Saint War Begins

Hifumi Shobo describes Volume 15 as the beginning of a chaotic Saint War.

The phrase suggests that the confrontation will not remain limited to Gernhild and Takamichi. Other figures with saint-level strength may influence the war between Frostland and the capital.

Earlier volumes have introduced weapons, creatures, and fighters capable of approaching a Saint’s power. Volume 15 appears positioned to bring several of those elements into the same conflict.

The number of participating Saints, their identities, and the final result of the succession battle remain unrevealed.

Lucky Shot

Takamichi Seeks Greater Power in Another World

Kichiku Eiyuu follows Takamichi, a former human reincarnated as an incubus in the demon world.

His power grows through intimate relationships, eventually making him one of the strongest beings in that realm. After reaching the limit of his development there, he travels onward in search of new opponents, experiences, and women from other races.

His journey brings him into a world of humans, monsters, kingdoms, Saints, and political conflict.

Although adult comedy remains an important part of the series, it also contains brutal battles, fantasy world-building, struggles for authority, and large-scale threats.

GANMA! provides both a regular edition for mature readers and G!TOON, a full-color version that modifies portions of the content for an all-ages distribution format.

Why This Matters

1) The cover character is Takamichi’s opponent

Gernhild is not merely decorative cover art. The official synopsis directly places her in Takamichi’s path at the beginning of the Saint War.

2) Ingrid receives a central role

Volume 15 moves Ingrid from being part of Frostland’s wider conflict to a successor risking her life for the throne.

3) Takamichi reaches a new stage of power

The promotional material promises an awakening without revealing the exact ability or transformation involved.

4) The Frostland conflict reaches a decisive phase

A war built across several volumes now becomes a direct succession struggle involving saint-level powers.
