Firefly Wedding will premiere on Japan’s Fuji TV network during the Noitamina programming block on October 9 at 11:30 p.m. Crunchyroll has also acquired the historical romance anime for streaming outside Japan, although the platform has not confirmed whether international episodes will arrive at the same time as the Japanese broadcast.


The latest teaser introduces two additional cast members: Kento Ito as Satoko’s childhood friend and bodyguard Kotaro Ogawa, and Kenjiro Tsuda as Saegusa, a yakuza member involved in her abduction. The video also previews “Yumegokochi,” the ending theme written and performed by TOOBOE.


Produced by David Production, the series adapts Oreco Tachibana’s manga about the gravely ill noblewoman Satoko Kirigaya and Shinpei Goto, an assassin whose assignment changes after she proposes a marriage of convenience. Lynn and Koki Uchiyama lead the cast as Satoko and Shinpei, while VIZ Media publishes the original manga in English.
