New visual and video for the anime series "Shunkashuutou Dairi-sha: Haru no Mai"

Further details have been revealed regarding the upcoming anime adaptation of the novel series "Shunkashuutou Dairi-sha: Haru no Mai." A newly released key visual offers a look at the four central characters of the story, including the spring representative Hanaba Hinagiku and her protector Himewaka Sakura.

The narrative transports viewers to a world where only winter once existed. Out of loneliness, winter created spring, which was later followed by summer and autumn. The responsibility for the cycle of the seasons lies with human representatives. A decade ago, Hanaba Hinagiku, the representative of spring, disappeared, taking the season with her. Now she returns to restore the natural balance. A new key video provides deeper insights into this plot and shows the representatives of all four seasons.

The voice roles have been cast with notable artists. Yuka Nukui voices Hanaba Hinagiku, and Yoshino Aoyama is heard as Himewaka Sakura. Additional roles are performed by Sumire Uesaka, Ranko Baba, Hime Sawada, Taku Yashiro, Shogo Sakata, and Satoshi Hino. The anime adaptation is directed by Ken Yamamoto at Studio WIT. Series composition is handled by Ayumu Hisao, and character design is by Namiko Torii. The music is composed by Kensuke Ushio.

The theme music for the opening and ending is provided by singer Kase, with the pieces composed by Orangestar. Prior to the official start of the series, a preview screening will take place on March 15 in Tokyo, featuring voice actors Yuka Nukui, Yoshino Aoyama, Shogo Sakata, and Satoshi Hino. Accompanying this, an advertising campaign with four different spots will launch in March. The series itself will begin airing on March 28.
