Agents of the Four Seasons light novel series by Violet Evergarden author Kana Akatsuki is getting an anime adaptation by Wit Studio. A visual and a trailer were released alongside the members of the staff working on the series. The release date and cast members are yet to be announced.
Ken Yamamoto (Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era) is directing the series with Ayumu Hisao (I’m in Love with the Villainess) writing the series composition and Namiko Torii (The Grimm Variations) is designing the characters.
Agents of the Four Seasons, written by Kana Akatsuki and illustrated by Suoh, began its publication under ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Bunko light novel imprint in April 2021. A manga adaptation of the first part, illustrated by Nappa Komatsuka began serialization in Hakusensha’s shoujo manga magazine LaLa in July 2022.
Light novel illustrator Suoh drew an illustration to commemorate the anime adaptation announcement:
Yen Press is publishing the novel and manga in English and they describe the former as:
Winter was once the only season in the world-but such an existence was too lonely to bear, and so it created Spring to love. Before long, the earth wished for more time to rest in the cycle, and Summer and Autumn were born. The ones who carry the cycle are called the Agents of the Four Seasons. Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, disappeared from this land ten years ago, taking the season of spring with her. Now, after incredible hardship, she has returned to restore the cycle to its proper state-and, as in the myth passed down since the dawn of time, she sends her love to Winter.
