Kadokawa will bundle the 25-minute episode, titled "Paradise," on Blu-ray Disc with the seventh volume of the original manga series on August 26.

The text in the video reads:

Episode 11: Paradise
The deserted island that Sakuya and the others head to...
...holds many temptations.
Sakuya and Shinichirō have drifted apart.
Where will their love take them?

The story of Osamu Takahashi's Isuca manga revolves around Shinichirō, a male student who gets a job as a housekeeper in order to pay his rent. While on the job, he accidentally releases a strange creature into the world, and he learns that his female employer named Sakuya Shimazu is the head of the Shimazu clan that hunts these creatures. Shinichirō cooperates with her to hunt down the monsters that are running loose.

The cast includes:

• Ibuki Kido (Tokyo ESP) as Sakuya Shimazu
• Keisuke Kōmoto (Tokyo ESP) as Shinichirō Asano
• M.A.O (Ai: Tenchi Muyo!, World Conquest Zvezda Plot) as Suseri Shimazu
• Kaori Sadohara (Inari Kon Kon, Date A Live) as Tamako
• Akane Kohinata as Matsuri Sōma
• Saeko Zōgō (Chaika the Coffin Princess, Date A Live II) as Nadeshiko Sōma
• Ayumi Fujimura (Squid Girl) as Isuca

Akira Iwanaga (Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee) directed the 10-episode anime at ARMS (Himawari!, Ikki Tousen: Dragon Destiny) with series composition by Masashi Suzuki (Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Fox, The Sacred Blacksmith). Idol group Afilia Saga (My mental choices are completely interfering with my school romantic comedy, Hyperdimension Neptunia) performed the opening theme song, and TWO-FORMULA performed the ending theme.

The series premiered in Japan on January 23, and Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired.
