Animax Asia describes the series:

The human race was able to create the perfect Utopia free from war, starvation and other problems the world has after obtaining the data technology - “Mana”. There is also an irregular type of human - “Norma” who is unable to use Mana.

Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi, the First Princess of the Misurugi Empire was well supported by the people in her empire, until she finds out that she is actually a “Norma”. Her name and title as first princess was immediately taken from her and is thrown on a remote island with other Norma girls who fight for their survival.

Renamed as Ange, will she find the truth behind the façade of Utopia and survive?

The series premiered in Japan in October 2014.

Yuusuke Matsuo provided the concepts for the characters, while Sayaka Ono designed the characters for animation. Singer and songwriter Akiko Shikata (Ar Tonelico series, Tales of Symphonia the Animation) scored the soundtrack.
