Rikachi’s award-winning shojo manga Nina the Starry Bride is getting a TV anime adaptation. A teaser visual and an announcement video were also released along with the main cast: Minami Tanaka as Nina, Yuichiro Umehara as Azure, and Kouki Uchiyama as Sett. The release date, studio, and staff are yet to be revealed.
The manga series began its serialization in Kodansha’s Be Love in October 2019 and it currently has eleven volumes in circulation. It won the Best Shojo Manga category at the 46th Annual Kodansha Manga Awards.
Kodansha US is publishing the series in English and describes the plot as:
Nina had a rough start to life, orphaned and stealing to survive, only to be abducted for her unusual lapis lazuli eyes. But to her surprise, her captor, Prince Azure, ordained that she would live the life of a princess…specifically, that of the recently deceased princess-priestess, Alisha, who had her same eyes. Despite her changing fortune, Nina won’t give up her old life without a fight. Azure might just be the one to finally match her wits, but how much can she trust him? And can she stop the feelings budding in her heart, knowing she must eventually marry another…?
