It has been announced that Kaito Kaito Ishikawa"(Chika Anzai), as the "Parnilla Count Siblings." Ishikawa will play Jarmo Parnilla, Julius Royas' rival and fellow alumnus of the Royal Academy, while Anzai will play Seraphina Parnilla, Jarmo's younger sister who has feelings for Julius.
The announcement was made on March 29th at the "AnimeJapan 2026" event held at Tokyo Big Sight (Koto Ward, Tokyo). Ishikawa commented, "I will do my best to express Yarumo's inner feelings while stirring up trouble for the two of them together with his cute younger sister, Seraphina. I feel like I can really empathize with Yarumo, so I'm really looking forward to it."
Ms. Anzai said, "I was soothed by Elsa and Julius's cute and honest love story while doing the voice recording. Seraphina also gets involved in the story in an honest and earnest way, adding just a little excitement to their story...! I hope you will enjoy the anime as well as the original work. Thank you!"
This is a heartwarming and adorable romantic comedy that begins when Elsa, a poor but optimistic young lady from a fallen noble family, and Julius, an elite but clumsy and complicated heir to the dukedom, enter into a "contract marriage" on the very day they meet due to a convergence of interests. The anime is directed by Matsui Hitoyuki and produced by Zero-G and Glass. Yui Ishikawa voices Elsa and Soma Soma Saito voices Julius. It will air on TV Asahi and BS Asahi starting in July.
