U.K. Blu-ray of Yohane the Parhelion Released on Monday
posted on by Andrew Osmond
The series is a fantasy reimagining of Love Live! Sunshine!! The "story no one knows about a girl everyone knows" reimagines Yoshiko Tsushima, the school idol afflicted with chūnibyō (adolescent delusions of grandeur), as a fortune-telling girl. The story is set in Numazu, a scenic harbor town surrounded by the sea and mountains. Ever since she was little, the girl Yohane has never fit in, and has always felt apart from everyone in town. Her aspirations and true place in this world lie elsewhere. The story follows this girl who can't follow rules as she journeys through this wondrous world.
Asami Nakatani (Ensemble Stars!! Road to Show!!) directed the anime at Sunrise, and Toshiya Ono (86, Land of the Lustrous, The Promised Neverland, Suite Precure) supervised the series scripts. Yumiko Yamamoto (Seven Senses of the Re'Union, Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld) designed the characters, and Tatsuya Katō (Ensemble Stars!, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club) returned to the Love Live! Sunshine!! franchise to compose the music.
As in previous Love Live! projects, Sunrise's collective penname Hajime Yatate was credited as the original creator, and Sakurako Kimino is credited with the original concept. Taira Akitsu has drawn the Genjitsu no Yohane -Sunshine in the Mirror- illustration series in the Love Live! Days Love Live! Sōgō Magazine since October 2020.
