The titular Vanadis of Tsukasa Kawaguchi's fantasy series are beautiful girls who ride into battle, brandishing weapons received from dragons. There are seven such Vanadis who rule seven territories and instill fear in neighboring countries. A boy named Tigre is a minor noble in the kingdom of Buryūnu who encounters a Vanadis in battle. She is the silver-haired, red-eyed "silver fraulein" Ellen. She defeats him, but instead of killing him, she takes him prisoner.

 Tatsuo Sato (Bodacious Space Pirates) is directing and overseeing the scripts at Satelight. Yousuke Kabashima (The Girl Who Leapt Through Space) is adapting Hinata Katagiri, Nobuhiko Yanai, and Yoshiwo's original character designs. Masaru Yokoyama (Freezing Vibration, Queen's Blade series) is composing the music. Konomi Suzuki will perform the opening theme, “Ginsen no Kaze” (Wind of the Silver Flash), while voice actress Hitomi Harada will perform the ending theme, "Schwarzer Bogen" (Black Bow).

Kawaguchi launched the light novel series in 2011 with art by Yoshi☆wo, and Media Factorypublished the eighth volume in May. Artist Nobuhiko Yanai has been drawing the manga adaptation in Media Factory's Monthly Comic Flapper magazine since 2011.

The series will premiere on October 4.

Italian:

Madan no Ou to Vanadis, in origine una serie di light novel scritta da Tsukasa Kawaguchi e disegnata da Yoshi☆wo, conta al momento nove volumi usciti per la novel dall'inizio nel 2011. Un adattamento in manga disegnato da Nobuhiko Yanai è partito poco dopo sulla rivista Comic Flapper.

Nel corso del Summer School Festival 2013,  l'editore giapponese Media Factory ha fatto diversi annunci riguardo al futuro adattamento di alcune serie di Light Novel in versione animata. Tra questi figurava Madan no Ou to Vanadis (Il re dei proiettili magici e la Vanadis), romanzo fantasy di Tatsuya Kawamuchi con le illustrazioni di Yoshi☆yo.

La storia si ambienta in un Europa fantastica del medioevo, in cui le battaglie si combattono a suon di spada e magia. Sui campi di battaglia dominano però le Vanadis, sette belle guerriere che governano su altrettanti territori e che brandiscono particolari armi ottenute dai draghi.Durante una di queste battaglie il giovane arciere Tigul, nobile di basso rango del regno di Brune, si trova di fronte alla Vanadis Eleonora "Ellen" Viltaria che, naturalmente, lo sconfigge. Invece di infliggergli il colpo finale, Ellen cattura Tigul come suo prigioniero e servitore.

Sarà lo studio Satelight a realizzare l'adattamento anime. In carico della regia troviamo Tatsuo Sato (Mouretsu Pirates, Rinne no Lagrange) che supervisionerà anche la sceneggiatura; Yousuke Kabashima (Gundam SEED) curerà il character design sulla base degli originali di Hinata Katagiri, Nobuhiko Yanai e Yoshi☆wo con la direzione artistica di Masatoshi Kai. Masaru Yokoyama (Queen's Blade) comporrà le musiche mentre Satoshi Motoyama dirigerà il comparto sonoro.
