The official synopsis

After failing the Royal Magician Examination, Allen faced the harsh realities of life: he couldn't even afford the return trip to his hometown.

While Allen was looking for work, he received an offer: a position as a tutor for a duke's daughter – Her Royal Highness, the young princess. It struck him as a little suspicious, but he figured, even if she was a bit of a pain in the classroom, she couldn't be as bad as the "dead weight" that already accompanied him.

Just as he settled on this assumption, a girl who couldn’t even cast the simplest elementary spells awaited him! Could he really unlock the secret blocking her magic?

Allen's unconventional lessons might just be the key to illuminating her future in a gentle light.

Conclusion

The casting of Kana Hanazawa as Felicia Fosse promises an interesting interpretation of the character. Fans of the light novel and manga can look forward to seeing how the story unfolds in the anime.
