New Roles Join Returning Characters

Nakamura Yuichi will voice Keikou, who is the eldest brother of the lead character Reirin. Toki Shunichi takes on the role of Keishou, serving as her second-eldest sibling in the series.

Plot Moves to Southern Territory

The narrative resumes in early fall when the Shu clan prepares its land for the upcoming Harvest Festival. This ritual involves the Crown Prince and various Maidens praying for a plentiful harvest season. Keigetsu advances with preparations even though she does not have a consort acting as her guardian.

Series Background and Context

The show is based on a light novel series written by Nakamura Satsuki and first aired in July 2026. The initial season concluded with the body-swap curse disturbances largely resolved after the two women understood each other better.
