Plot Summary:

The novels' story centers on Uki, an imperial concubine who has never been called to the emperor's bedchambers, and maintains a singularly unique life within the harem chambers. Seen by some as having the appearance of an old woman, and some others as a young lady, she is knowne to use mysterious magic that helps with everything from finding lost items to inflicting curses.

Holy shit. I made a thread for this series a while back but now it's greenlit?

Very rarely do we get a anime set in an imperial court. (KyoAni has published Tenkyakuryou no Majo under the KA Esuma Bunko imprint and is also set in the imperial court.) Let's see what this show is all about.

Key Gintama staff being listed as this series' staff plus Bandai Namco Pictures being involved means that this is a Sunrise production. Interesting choice of media to adapt, though. Are we seeing a rise in historical anime series?

Ok, consider myself hyped. I miss settings like this.

Tak · 2022-04-21, 09:29

The trailer is rather beautiful indeed, so I have anticipation for the eventual "product".

Looks like they are going for the Tang - Song aesthetics, even if there is a slight historical confusion. But still interesting.

I wonder if there's any legit romance in this...

bakato · 2022-04-22, 21:54

I've recently fallen in love with Imperial Court romance when the youtube algorithm recommended Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace.

soularc55 · 2022-06-01, 04:27

We might see an emergence of these settings once it airs. I can see Kusuriya and Inept villainess getting an anime.

FlareKnight · 2022-06-02, 23:54

If nothing else, it definitely looks good.

Was really hoping for The Apothecary Diaries to get adapted, I remember a lot of people in Japan wanting that one done a couple of years ago. But if this one is, maybe it will too. I'll take a look at this one.

The hopeful discussion of another anime...isn't is off topic...anyhow..someone already claimed the anime project of that story has begun. It still has to pass some struggle before it becomes official. They claims the source of information is in French publication.

Spoiler:

Back to topic, this show is another fantasy show in a fictional world. In short, it is isekai. Most people have no idea about the story, so they make comments by making referencing to other similar shows.

How is it isekai?

"Isekai" specifically refers to a genre of Fantasy where the MC or others comes from Earth and then travels to a Fantasy World (or rarely vice versa). Usually for settings where there's no dimensional/world travel involved, it's just referred to as "Fantasy". Thus, you will never see people refer to stories like Berserk, Claymore, Final Fantasy, Xenoblade, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, etc. as "isekai" despite being set in fictional fantasy worlds.

Kusuriya is pretty likely considering how popular and long-running it is. Inept is far shorter from what I understand.

I read some of the light novel. They're similar in setting. Furthermore, you know what title shows up as 'related searches' when searching for Raven in the Harem? The Apothecary Diaries. Search engines consider them similar.

Not identical for sure - clearly there is far more of a supernatural element in this title and a more serious cast of characters.

Looks like Seven Seas have picked up a translated version of the manga, starting from early 2023.

I'm interested enough to give it a look.
