It has been decided that Nakamura Souki’s Chinese fantasy novel “Futsutsuna Akujo de Gozaimasu ~Hinamiya Chounei Torikae Den~” (Ichijinsha) will be made into a TV anime. The main staff and teaser visuals have been released.
The original work, which originated from the novel submission site “Let’s Become a Novelist”, has sold over 3 million copies in total. It won the light novel category award at the “Seymour Everyone’s Choice 2023 Digital Comic Awards” and ranked first in the women’s light novel ranking at the “Book Live Annual Ranking 2023”. Set in “Hinamiya”, where princesses from five noble families are gathered to raise the next queen, Reirin, a young princess who is called “His Highness’s Butterfly” and loved by those around her, is body-swapped by Keigetsu, who is hated as an evil woman. However, Reirin, who has been sickly since childhood, is happy to have a healthy body and enjoys the freedom she has, and Keiju also begins to change as he comes into contact with Reirin’s true personality. The two then become embroiled in a conspiracy that will shake up the harem.
The main staff is the same ones who worked on “Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle.” Under the direction of Yamazaki Mitsue, Nakamura Yoshiko is in charge of series composition, Kikuchi Ai is in charge of character design, and Doga Kobo is in charge of animation production.
The teaser visual shows the contrasting profiles of the two characters who have switched bodies, with Keiju sporting a pure smile and Reirin with a stern expression. Below that are the two of them in their original selves. A video revealing the teaser visual, using images from the comic adaptation, has also been released.
Comments from Director Yamazaki and those involved with the original work, as well as a celebratory illustration, are posted below.
[Yamazaki Mitsue (Director)] When I first read “Futsutsuka,” I thought it was an encouraging work, with women who were so gorgeous and free. As I worked on it day by day, I grew to love Reirin and Keigetsu. I hope that viewers will be able to see the friendship and growth of these gorgeous and beautiful young girls in the anime.
[Nakamura Soki (Original Story)] Thanks to everyone, we can now see Reirin and the others moving in color! We have been blessed with a wonderful animation production team, and I am deeply moved every day. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us up to this point. Let’s keep cheering until the airing date!
