Toho have announced the global streaming date for the anime adaptation of Though I Am An Inept Villainess, a body-swap tale of palace intrigue and jealousy that will begin on July 12th. Based on the critically acclaimed light novel by Satsuki Nakamura, the series is full of the sort of political and social intrigue that should appeal to fans of The Apothecary Diaries, which is also handled by Toho. The series has an English language website which you can find here.
For those of us in the UK, the series will be streaming on Crunchyroll.
