Guiding this creative masterpiece is Takehiro Kubota, known for his work on “Gloomy the Naughty Grizzly,” who orchestrates the series at Kinema Citrus. The visual storytelling is elevated by the ingenious storyboards and supervision of Takao Abo. Ami Satо̄, Takahito Ōnishi, and Momoka Toyoda craft the series scripts, while Shōko Yasuda lends her artistic touch to character design. Yuushi Koshida adds a dash of 3D magic as the 3DCG director, and Evan Call’s melodic compositions set the tone. The opening theme, “Anata no Soba ni” (By Your Side), is performed by Riria., while Kashitarō Itō brings depth to the ending with “Vita Philosophica.”
A Glimpse into the Novel’s Heart
Akumi Akitogi and Tsukiho Tsukioka’s novel series, launched in January 2019, is not only a story but an emotion. Yen Press recognized its magic and licensed the light novels. It weaves the tale of Miyo, born to nobility but subjected to her stepmother’s cruelty. As she steps into a marriage with the enigmatic Kiyoka, the path to love and happiness emerges from their unexpected connection.
