On April 3, 2021, the official website announced the start of Yuzaki Tsukasa project called Bride Gallery. According to the post, it was made to liven up Kenjiro Hata’s new manga, “Fly Me to the Moon“. Also, the release of the project on the aforementioned date was intentional because Tsukasa’s birthday was on the same day.
Bride Gallery is a new project from TONIKAWA. At the said project, they will release a newly drawn illustration of Tsukasa every month. Moreover, the theme of the image that will be released each month will depend on the season.
In case you didn’t know, Kenjiro Hata (Author of TONIKAWA) started a new manga, titled “Fly Me to the Moon”. It is a manga that tells Tsukasa’s past before she met Nasa. The series started on March 31, 2021.

Lastly, an OVA of the anime series will premiere on August 2021.
The story follows a protagonist whose name is written with the characters for “Hoshizora” (“Starry Sky” in Japanese), but whose name is pronounced as “Nasa”. On the day of his high school entrance exams, Nasa encounters a beautiful girl named Tsukasa. For Nasa, it feels like destiny is finally calling out to him that he will have a girlfriend.
Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when Nasa is hit by a car and unable to attend his entrance exams. After Tsukasa helps the injured Nasa, he confesses his feelings to her. She agrees to go out with him only if Nasa agrees to marry her first. A year later Nasa aces the entrance exams, but he decides to work a part-time job and live by himself instead of going to school. After Nasa turns 18, Tsukasa re-appears, and their happy, romantic, and mysterious married life together begins.
