The OVA adaptation Princess Resurrection (Kaibutsu Oujo) is created by Tatsunoko Production and, like the earlier TV anime series from 2007, is based on an action / comedy manga by Yasunori Mitsunaga. The original story follows Hiro Hiyorimi who, after an unfortunate death, is resurrected by Hime (literally "Princess"). Hiro becomes Hime's servant in this second life, and assists her in killing supernatural creatures sent by Hime's siblings to attack her.
