Ruri no Hoseki:High school girls collect minerals! Key visuals for TV anime revealed

The key visual for the TV anime "Ruri no Hoseki," based on the manga by Keiichiro Shibuya currently being serialized in "Haruta" (KADOKAWA), has been released. It depicts a high school girl diving into the world of mineral collecting.

Miyamoto Yume, who plays Imari Yoko, Hayashi Saki, who plays Seto Shoko, and Yamada Misuzu, who plays Kasamaru Aoi, commented, "From the moment I read the manga 'Ruri no Houseki,' I was fascinated by the unknown, sparkling world of 'gems'! The color was already slightly added to the dubbing stage, but it was so beautiful and the characters were so dynamic. I remember that this made me feel even more nervous. I worked hard on the dubbing so as not to be outdone by the engine that Imari-san was putting in. I hope that you will be able to feel the atmosphere of the work when it airs, and that you will enjoy it for a long time to come. Thank you!"

Hayashi says, "Ruri no Houseki is my first time as a regular anime character, and although I was a bit hesitant, I was supported by my wonderful seniors and the production team. In the story, Shouko is also hesitant at first, but with the support of Nagi and Imari, she grows together with her best friend Ruri. It's a wonderful, heartwarming, and beautiful series, like a rough stone being polished into a jewel! Be sure to check it out!"

Yamada said, "My name is Yamada Misuzu and I will be playing the role of Kasamaru Aoi, a slightly tomboyish friend of Ruri. I love stones myself, so every time we record I listen to Nagi and the others' commentary with the same sparkling feeling as Ruri! Aoi spends a lot of time with Ruri, who is a student, so I hope you enjoy the everyday atmosphere that only a high school girl can have. I hope you will be drawn into the beautiful images and story while developing your knowledge of minerals!"

The series is a manga that has been serialized in "Harta" since 2019. It is a "science adventure" that depicts the journey of Tanigawa Ruri, a high school girl who loves jewelry and accessories, as she dives into the world of mineral collecting in mountains, rivers, caves, and more. The anime will be directed by Fujii Shingo and produced by Studio Bind. It will air in 2025.
