But her Shinigami death angel, Takuto, may have more of a connection to her than she realized, and her real body is starting to give out. Is this really the end of a little girl and her dream? Catch the conclusion of this anime drama that explores themes of life, death, love, and chasing one’s dreams despite tragedy.
Arina Tanemura’s beloved manga series was serialized in the shojo magazine Ribon from 2002 to 2004. It was adapted into a 52-episode anime TV series that was produced by Studio Deen and directed by Toshiyuki Kato (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean and Captain Tsubasa). The series featured a pair of opening songs by the all-girl Japanese pop-rock band The Scanty that included I Love U (Eps. 1-26) and Rock ‘n’ Roll Princess (Eps. 27-52), and 4 closing tracks performed by the group, Changin’ My Life, that included New Future, Myself, Eternal Snow, and Love Chronicle. Bonus features on the AnimEigo release include a title-free opening and closing segments.
