Title Notes:

Yuri is more than just school life drama. This series brings suspense and action in an allegorical fantasy dytopia to the category in an artful, heart-wrenching drama sure to grab fans of classics like Revolutionary Girl Utena and new series like Otherside Picnic alike.

The magic school subgenre loses its innocence in a bleak and bloody take on the genre likely to appeal to older teen fans of Witch Hat Atelier and dark fantasy manga like Made in Abyss.

Received the most enthusiastic crowd reaction at Seattle’s Sakura-Con 2024 during Kodansha Spring 2025 New Print Licenses announcement and won the fan award for “Unique Art/Story” in the MyAnimeList 2024 selection.

Perfect for fans of the recent hit Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury which confronts the moral dilemma of exploiting human lives in the name of warfare.
