Second PV and Key Visuals

The official site lists 23 stations beginning their broadcasts between October 4 and October 8, extending the television rollout into regions including Hokkaido, Miyagi, Iwate, Niigata, Hiroshima, Ehime, Okinawa, Yamagata, Fukui, Shizuoka, Nagasaki and Toyama.

Streaming will move even faster on several services. d Anime Store, Hulu, U-NEXT and Anime Hodai begin on October 4 at midnight JST, while additional Japanese services including ABEMA, DMM TV, FOD, Lemino, Prime Video, TELASA, NicoNico and Bandai Channel follow sequentially from October 9.

The Second PV Introduces Amelia, Philip and Mike

The new trailer uses footage from the anime and marks the voice debut of three newly announced characters. Amelia Keith is voiced by Haruka Shiraishi, Philip by Shogo Sakata and Mike by Shoya Ishige.

Amelia occupies an important position within the otome game on which Pia's world is based. In the game's original scenario, she is the villainess of the main route centered on Prince Philip and is positioned as a future queen. The world Pia now inhabits, however, does not always follow the game's original script exactly.

Philip is the first prince and the principal capture target of that route. Mike serves as chief of security for the Stan marquis household and is ordered by Rufus to protect Pia, displaying a level of vigilance that closely matches his employer's own overprotective approach.

Tsuyoki MAX Sengen and Yoake made ni Become the Theme Songs

The second PV also offers the first samples of both anime theme songs. Konomi Suzuki performs the opening Tsuyoki MAX Sengen (強気MAX宣言), which she describes as reflecting Pia's gradual attempt to become braver while supported by Rufus's affection.

The opening receives its digital release across music services on October 5, 2026 at midnight, one day after the anime begins broadcasting.

For the ending, Miku Ito performs Yoake made ni (夜明けまでに). The track is included on her fifth album, 39rpm, scheduled for October 7. The album contains 11 songs and is offered as a ¥4,400 regular CD and a ¥6,050 limited edition including tax.

Pia and Rufus Try to Break the Otome Game Scenario

The story begins when Pia, previously an ordinary university student, realizes she has been reincarnated inside an otome game as a minor villainess character. Her knowledge of the scenario gives her one major problem: the game's climax is supposed to bring the cancellation of her engagement and exile from the kingdom.

Terrified of losing Rufus and of the future waiting for her, Pia attempts to end their engagement early herself. Rufus responds in the opposite way she expects—challenging her to a wager over whether he will actually break off the engagement.

While Pia turns toward her fascination with fossils and a plan to become a curator, Rufus begins dismantling the conditions that would otherwise lead her toward the bad ending. The anime adaptation builds its romantic comedy around the contrast between an extremely pessimistic heroine and a remarkably capable, fiercely protective fiancé.

From Seven Light Novel Volumes to Jumondou's Anime

Hiro Oda's light novel series began publication under B's-LOG Bunko in August 2020 with illustrations by Tsubasa.v. The anime's official site currently lists seven main light novel volumes, while Aji Murata's manga adaptation has five collected volumes listed there.

Game Ad

Trap Yuri Tempest

The latest promotional material states that the series has reached a 1.4 million cumulative total. That figure is treated here as the cumulative number announced in promotional materials rather than as a platform-specific sales figure.

For the anime, Nobuaki Nakanishi serves as director, Hiroko Fukuda handles series composition and Hyun Sik Choi is responsible for character design. Jumondou produces the animation, with Moe Hyuga and Natsuki Hamada composing the music.

Why This Matters

1) The premiere and streaming schedule are finally concrete

The anime now has more than an October window, with an October 4 debut, 23 television stations and a detailed Japanese streaming rollout.

2) The second PV brings the original otome-game route closer

Amelia and Philip are directly tied to the game's main route known to Pia, making their arrival particularly relevant to the scenario she is trying to avoid.

3) Miku Ito has two major roles in the project

In addition to voicing Pia Rockwell, Miku Ito performs the ending theme Yoake made ni.

4) The opening follows Pia's personal growth

Konomi Suzuki's opening is specifically built around the idea of the timid Pia finding the courage to step forward and change her own fate.
