David Production, the studio behind Undead Unluck and Urusei Yatsura, is adapting Oreco Tachibana\u0026#39;s Meiji-era manga. The episode opens with an elderly woman reading a letter by firelight, then cuts to Satoko Kirigaya, a young woman with a heart condition who wants to marry before her time runs out. The adaptation keeps the manga\u0026#39;s violent scenes intact: Satoko is abducted, and the assassin Shinpei Goto hacks off the limbs of men who disobeyed orders not to touch her. Lynn voices Satoko as a reserved but sharp-witted heroine, while Koki Uchiyama gives Shinpei a light, sharp tone that turns manic when he promises to make her happy while covered in blood. The crowd cheered. The series is set for an October 2026 debut.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The Firefly Wedding anime premiere at Anime Expo drew a full house.
