Studio DEEN is animating the series with Takayuki Hamana as the director. Yoshimi Narita is in charge of the series composition, while Maziro is the character designer.
The anime is based on a light novel series written by Puni-chan and illustrated by Akeno Naruse. It began as a web novel on Shosetsuka ni Naro in 2016 before being picked up by Enterbrain’s B’s Log Bunko imprint, with 14 volumes released as of November 2023. There is also a manga adaptation by Hoshina, which has been serialized since 2017 on B’s Log Comic.
A visual novel developed by Operahouse launched for Nintendo Switch and Steam in March 2024. Steam describes the story:
“Am I…inside my favorite otome game!?” The main character had reincarnated to the world of “The Ring of Lapis Lazuli”, her favorite otome game―but as the villainess, Tiara Rose. The story progresses accordingly to the original otome game, and her engagement with Prince Hartknights, the crown prince from Lapis Lazuli, breaks off. However, a sweet and surprising plot twist occurs when Aquasteed, the crown prince of the neighboring country Marinforest, suddenly appears to propose a marriage to her.
