Yamada Naoko will be acting as the chief director, and Abel Gongora is directing the anime at Science SARU studios.
The anime is based on Tomato Soup’s Tenmaku no Jaduugar manga. Tomato Soup started the manga in September 2021 on Akita Shoten’s Souffle website, and Akita Shoten published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in August 2022.

These two women are the axel upon which the politics of the palace, and soon the very world, will turn…”
