A new visual for the game "CANDLE WOODS" has been released for the TV anime series "Shiboyugi: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table" (Original title: "死亡遊戯で飯を食う。"). The image shows the protagonist Yuki, who has suffered an injury to her right eye, directing a sharp gaze straight ahead with her remaining left eye.

The 11th and final episode of the series, in which Yuki encounters the serial killer Chara, who is responsible for the death of her master Hakushi, will air on March 18 on TOKYO MX and other channels.

As a bonus on the third Blu-ray volume of the series, an exclusive short story by author Yushi Ukai titled "Hollow Village (The First or Thirtieth Time)" will be included, and its plot has also been revealed. The story revolves around the creature Tanolfox, which already appeared in the "Golden Bass" game, and also features the character Oshiro, with whom Tanolfox is closely connected.

On the occasion of the TV broadcast, the Japanese online magazine "Comic Natalie" also published a detailed interview with director Sota Ueno and sound director Noriyoshi Konuma. Among other topics, the two discuss the pride with which the production was realized, the distinctive features of the characteristic opening and the casting, as well as background stories about the creation of "CANDLE WOODS".
