In the Clear Moonlit Dusk Anime Unveils Teaser, Theme Song Artists

The official website for the television anime of Mika Yamamori's In the Clear Moonlit Dusk (Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki) manga started streaming the anime's first teaser promotional video with animated footage on Tuesday. The anime's staff also announced that Unison Square Garden, the rock band whose members are fans of Yamamori's works,  is creating both the opening theme song "Uruwashi" (Beautiful) and the ending theme song "Azalea no Kaze" (Azalea Wind) specifically for this anime.

The anime stars:

• Rei Ichinomiya as Yoi Takiguchi
• Ryōta Suzuki as Kohaku Ichimura
• Aya Yamane as Nobara Tone
• Momoko Seto as Kotobuki Hibiya
• Shōta Hayama as Sentarо̄ Akane
• Kentarō Kumagai as Shun Kuwabatake

Yūsuke Maruyama is directing the anime at East Fish Studio. Ayumu Hisao (Kono Oto Tomare!: Sounds of Life) is credited for series composition. Yuki Fukuda (Insomniacs After School) is designing the characters. Tsubasa Ito (I May Be a Guild Receptionist) is composing the music.

Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga, and it describes the story:

Yoi Takiguchi has long legs, a deep voice, and a handsome face...in other words, Yoi is such a good-looking guy that most people don't notice or care that she is, in fact, a girl. Indeed, she's had the nickname "Prince" as long as she can remember. That is, until she met Ichimura-senpai...the only person who's really seemed to see her for herself. To her surprise, she's not sure how to handle this new relationship, especially when her newfound friend is a prince himself (and a guy prince, at that). The story of the two high school princes starts here!

Yamamori launched the manga in Dessert magazine in 2020. Kodansha published the manga's ninth compiled book volume on May 13.

The manga ranked #11 on the list of manga for female readers in the 2023 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!) guidebook.
