Script responsibilities rest in the capable hands of Deko Akao, recognized for their work on series like “Komi Can’t Communicate” and “The Case Study of Vanitas.” Handling character design is Mai Otsuka, who has made her mark with projects like “The Demon Girl Next Door” and “Non Non Biyori.” Kōji Fujimoto from Sus4 Inc. is in charge of composing the music.
The series boasts Sumire Uesaka as Mia Luna Tearmoon, who also lends her voice to the opening theme “Happy End Princess,” while KanoeRana performs the ending theme “Queen of the Night.”
The novel series and its manga adaptation have been licensed by J-Novel Club. The story is captivating, portraying the journey of Mia, the self-centered princess of the fallen Tearmoon Empire. Facing the disdainful glares of her subjects, she meets her demise at the guillotine, only to awaken as a twelve-year-old with a chance to rewrite history.
With an Empire in disarray, Mia teams up with loyal maid Anne and the brilliant minister Ludwig to rectify its myriad problems. Their relentless efforts to alter fate gradually reshape the continent’s destiny. Why this transformation? Not due to a change of heart, but rather Mia’s intense fear of the guillotine’s agonizing pain, which she loathes more than work.
