The spring 2026 series adapts Kana Akatsuki and Suoh's light novel, which began publication under ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint in April 2021. Ken Yamamoto directs the adaptation, with Ayumu Hisao writing the scripts and Namiko Torii designing the characters. Kensuke Ushio composes the music. The story follows Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, who disappeared ten years ago and took the season with her. She returns to restore the cycle and, as the myth demands, sends her love to Winter. The light novel has four volumes released so far and is ongoing. A manga adaptation by Nappa Komatsuda also runs alongside it. Yen Press licenses both the light novel and the manga in English. The anime premiered on March 28, 2026, and the new preview gives the first look at the episode before its weekend broadcast.","why_it_matters":"The preview lands mid-season with no announced delays, signaling that Wit Studio's production pipeline for the series remains on schedule.","published_at":"2026-05-16T14:31:23.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Anime Corner","The Fandom Post"],"citations":[{"source":"Anime Corner","title":"Agents of the Four Seasons Releases Episode 8 Preview","url":"https://animecorner.me/agents-of-the-four-seasons-releases-episode-8-preview/"},{"source":"The Fandom Post","title":"'Agents of the Four Seasons' Anime Previews 8th Epsiode","url":"https://www.fandompost.com/2026/05/15/agents-of-the-four-seasons-anime-previews-8th-epsiode/"}],"license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","entities":{"anime_titles":["Agents of the Four Seasons"],"manga_titles":[],"studios":["Wit Studio","KADOKAWA"],"people":["Ken Yamamoto","Ayumu Hisao","Namiko Torii"],"type":"news","domain":"anime","is_roundup":false}}}
