Nice, I was wondering when it would be announced; can't wait to see the cute, battle-junkie, YouTuber-like Nia in anime.

Now, I am picturing Anne Shirley (same VA as last year's anime) in a dark and brutal settting.

It is a fun coincidence that oshi no ko is airing, because plot wise, this one is very close to that.

Just think of aqua and ruby rolled into the same character, but instead of doctor aqua was.a martial artist. In this one Nia "produces" other people as well as herself to become famous for her "nefarious" ends. Its a fun ride and a breath of fresh air in the tenseI genre.

Got this in my PTR list for a while so maybe I'll check it out now.

Edit: It's actually pretty good though I can see some problems people will have with it.

Interesting series, thankfully it’s MBS so very likely will be picked by Sentai/Hidive and not go into digital only hell territory.
