posted on by Karen Ressler
Sentai Filmworks announced on Monday that it has licensed the anime The World Is Still Beautiful (Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii) and plans to release the series digitally and on home video.
The series premiered in April 2014 and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired.
Dai Shiina's original shōjo manga revolves around Nike, the determined princess of the Rain Dukedom who has a mysterious power: she can control rainfall. After losing a game of rock, paper, scissors to her older sisters, she is forced to unwillingly marry the king of the Sun Kingdom, Livius I. Livius (or Livi for short) conquered the world in three years, and is known as the "Dreadful King." However, when Nike meets him for the first time, she finds to her surprise that he is a boy younger than she is. Livius abruptly asks Nike to call forth the rain, and when she refuses, he has her thrown in jail. The story follows the two who, while at first are a married couple only in name, gradually begin to establish an emotional bond with one another.
