The official website for the television anime of Rin Asano's Deaimon manga revealed a new visual and the anime's April premiere date on Friday.
The site also unveiled the designs for two more characters:
Sayaka Ōhara as Fuki Irino
The manga's story centers on Nagomu, a man who left his home in Kyoto and his family's confectionary shop when he became a musician. Upon hearing that his father has been hospitalized though, he comes back home to take over the family business. However, while he was gone, a young girl named Itsuka started working at the shop. The whereabouts of Itsuka's parents is unknown, and she has no other relatives, and Nagomu finds himself as foster parent for Itsuka.
