I’m Dating a Dark Summoner has released its first trailer and is scheduled to premiere in October 2026. The anime is a short-form series in the erotic fantasy rom-com genre.
I’m Dating a Dark Summoner Follows the Story of a Priest and a Dark Summoner
I’m Dating a Dark Summoner centers on Roni, a priest who must accept Amona, a new dark summoner in his party. Amona is highly skilled, but her fighting style makes it difficult for Roni to accept her because she uses demonic powers.
Those differences in principles quickly led to frequent arguments between Roni and Amona. Amona also didn’t think highly of Roni, so the two often clashed from the very beginning.
However, their relationship began to change after they spent their first day together. From that conflict, the story evolves into a mature romantic comedy about two characters who are opposites but gradually find themselves drawn to each other.

I’m Dating a Dark Summoner Is Coming to Short-Form Anime
I’m Dating a Dark Summoner will be released as a short-form anime, so the episodes are likely to be shorter than those of a regular TV anime. This format aligns well with the story’s focus on fast-paced interactions between the main characters and mature rom-com dynamics.
With the first trailer now released, the anime is beginning to introduce the main conflict between Roni and Amona ahead of its premiere in October 2026.
