Genjitsu no Yohane: Sunshine in the Mirror, the spin-off anime of Love Live! Sunshine!!, has unveiled its second promotional video previewing its opening theme song “Genjitsu Mysterium” by the series’ idol group Aqours. The anime has also confirmed its premiere date on July 2, 2023.
Abema is premiering the series a week before it airs, starting June 25. In addition, with the advanced release, Abema has decided to host a 50-hour marathon of the Love Live! series starting June 23 in Japan.
Genjitsu no Yohane started as a series of illustrations drawn by Taira Akitsu in Love Live! Days magazine and later continued in a fan manga entitled Unpolarized Reflexion. The manga reimagined the members of Aqours in a fantasy universe.
▍Genjitsu no Yohane: Sunshine in the Mirror Story
The story that nobody knows, of the girl that everybody knows ——.
Numazu, a picturesque port city surrounded by the sea and mountains.
Yohane, a girl who could not fit in with her surroundings since childhood, lived her days keeping a distance from the people in the city.
The thing I want to do, the place I truly belong in, that’s ——.
Walking with a girl who cannot be honest,
A mysterious world that you know of.
