The official website and Twitter account for the anime adaptation of Sana Kirioka’s Taisho Otome Otogi Banashi manga revealed a new key visual and October premiere date for the anime. The Twitter account also announced that a second promotional video will be released on July 4.

The anime’s staff includes Hatori Jun (Beyblade: Metal Fury) as director, Fukuda Hiroko (Hayate the Combat Butler) as scriptwriter, and Watanabe Mayumi (Fairy Tail) as character designer. The animation production will be from SynergySP.

The anime’s cast includes Yūsuke Kobayashi as Shima Tamahiko, Saya Aizawa as Tachibana Yuzuki, Yume Miyamoto as Shima Tamako, Chika Anzai as Atsumi Ryo, Ayasa Itō as Shiratori Kotori, and Shunichi Toki as Shiratori Hakaru.

The Taisho Otome Otogi Banashi manga was serialized in Shueisha’s Jump SQ. magazine from 2015 to 2017. Kirioka then published a sequel titled Showa Otome Otogi Banashi in the Shonen Jump+ website, with the fifth and final volume planned for July 3.

Pony Canyon’s YouTube channel released the first promotional video and describes the anime’s story as:

The setting is the Taisho Era. Tamahiko, a young man who disappointed his parents after losing the use of his right hand in an accident, is forced to move out of his home under the guise of rehabilitation. Resentful of everything in life, he becomes withdrawn and pessimistic when one day a woman named Yuzuki knocks on his door. She claims she has been sent there by his father to be his bride…

The beginning of a Taisho love story in Japan 100 years ago.
