A second main trailer has been released for the anime "The Escaped Fish Was Big, but the Caught Fish Was Too Big" (abbreviated: "Nigetsuri"). This not only provides another look at the plot and characters but also reveals three new members of the voice cast and the ending song. Additionally, fresh details about the broadcast schedule have been announced.
According to a recent report, Natsuki Hanae will play the role of Ireneo Marchei, the carefree and womanizing son of the Marchei marquis family. Kaori Maeda lends her voice to Eleonora Cacciali, the daughter of a baron family who has set her sights on the prince's fiancé position. The somewhat snobbish Rosalia Pinotti, daughter of the Pinotti marquis family, is voiced by Rumi Okubo. All three new characters can also be seen in the second main trailer, which also features the first snippets of the ending song "DEAD OR LOVE" by Yoshino.
The anime adaptation of the novel series by Momoyo Momozo and Itsuki Mito (illustrations) with character designs by Kaki Nagato for the manga will air on Japanese television starting April 1, 2026. It will be broadcast on TOKYO MX and BS11 every Wednesday at 24:00 (Japan time). The director at TROYCA is Akira Oguro, while Michiko Yokote is responsible for series composition. The opening "Chikai wa Kyun to." is provided by HoneyWorks feat. Airi Suzuki.
Even before the premiere, fans will have the opportunity to experience the work and its creators live: At the "AnimeJapan 2026" convention, taking place in Tokyo on March 28 and 29, 2026, a stage event with members of the voice cast is planned. Additionally, a giveaway is currently being held on the anime's official X account to celebrate the birthday of the protagonist Maria (nicknamed Mimi) on March 3.
The story follows Maria Annovazzi, the daughter of a duke from a famous martial arts family. Due to her talent, she was raised as the heir despite being the youngest child. However, at the graduation ceremony of the royal academy, she is publicly and without any warning or fault of her own declared engaged by Prince Renato, whom she has just met—only to be immediately confronted with an equally surprising and unfounded dissolution of the engagement.
