The TV anime "Surgeon Elise" has released a special Christmas illustration and a voice drama that captures the festive mood. The illustration shows Elise gazing at a Christmas tree, with Linden standing closely behind her. The accompanying audio drama tells a romantic story set on a snowy Christmas night, where Elise and Linden take a moment to unwind from a royal palace party. The characters Elise and Linden are voiced by Yui Ishikawa and Yohei Azakami, respectively.
The first episode, titled "Atonement," introduces an original anime story. Elise, who met her end as the "evil empress" at the stake, is reborn as the genius surgeon Ao Takamoto and is determined to atone for the mistakes of her past life. However, a plane crash cuts Ao's life short and sets in motion a story where she becomes Elise once again.
Yuin, the author of the original novel, commented on the first episode, expressing gratitude for the excellent portrayal of Elise's warm-hearted nature and her admirable role as a doctor. Mini, the manga artist, also praised the episode, highlighting Elise's sense of responsibility as a doctor and the impressive performance by Yui Ishikawa.
"Surgeon Elise" will air on January 10.
