The upcoming In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki anime adaptation revealed a new trailer, a second key visual, and April 9 premiere date. Studio CloverWorks is animating the series.
The main cast for the anime includes Yuko Natsuyoshi as Tsubaki, Miyari Nemoto as Sazanaka, and Sayumi Suzushiro as Asagao. Yumi Uchiyama and M・A・O were also cast recently, as well as Marika Kouno, Maria Naganawa, and Yo Taichi. The peggies are performing the opening theme which is titled “Highlight Highlight”.
Takudai Kakuchi is directing the anime, which is his directorial debut. He previously directed single episodes on titles such as March Comes in like a Lion and My Hero Academia.

The isolationist all-girls Akane Clan mainly consists of young kunoichi in training. Their teachings are strict and there is one rule they all must follow: Interacting with men is forbidden, as they are dangerous creatures. However, a trainee Kunoichi Tsubaki suddenly starts feeling strange… It’s like her heart flickers whenever the subject of boys comes up.
