**"Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki"** is a TV anime adaptation of the mega-popular shoujo manga by Mika Yamamori-sensei.
Serialized in Kodansha's "Monthly Dessert" since September 2020, a trending work that ranked 4th in "Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2022" Women's Edition.
High school girl Takiguchi Yoi, called "Prince" for her beautiful appearance and smart behavior, and one-year-older senior Ichimura Kohaku, also called "Prince."
A life-sized youth love story woven by two people both called "Prince"—awkward yet bittersweet—starts January 2026 🌙
① Fresh Setting of Prince (♀) × Prince (♂)
Classic shoujo manga, but with an unusual setting where the heroine is also the cool type.

Beautiful art style that has captivated fans with "Daytime Shooting Star" and "Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet."
