Ohashi Akiyo (The Stranger by the Shore) directs the anime at BONES studio, and Ono Yuuki and Nakahara Mai will reprise their roles as Mira and Byakuya Mimori, respectively.

The late author Fujiwara Cocoa created the original manga in September 2013. It debuted on Square Enix’s Gamgan Joker but was left unfinished when Fujiwara passed away in March 2015. After consulting with Fujiwara‘s family, Square Enix published the manga’s third volume in March 2016.
