The Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky TV anime will begin airing on July 6 in Japan. A trailer (labelled as the second, though there’s no first trailer) was released with the announcement.
Other reveals include “Hikari” by FRUITS ZIPPER’s Yui Sakurai being the ending theme song and Harumi Fuki (The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes) as the music composer.
Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky (Tomei na Yoru ni Kakeru Kimi to, Me ni Mienai Ko o Shita) is based on the 2023 light novel written by Nanigashi Shima, illustrated by raemz, and published by SB Creative under the GA Bunko label/imprint. Yen Press describes the book’s synopsis as such:
On an April night in Tokyo, still too early for fireworks, university student Kakero Mano meets a woman named Koharu Fuyutsuki. She is a beautiful girl who stands out from the crowd, laughs a lot, and exudes a warmth that contrasts sharply with Kakero’s own introversion. But there was something Kakero didn’t know at first—she can’t see. Unlike Kakero, Koharu hasn’t given up on anything, even with her blindness. She attends university daily, shows interest in clubs, makes friends—and dreams of launching fireworks one day. Kakero wonders why, when she can’t see them…but maybe it doesn’t matter. And maybe he can start moving forward, too, for the girl who’s always been by his side.
A teaser trailer and visual for the anime were revealed in January with staff and cast details.
Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky light novel was the grand prize winner at the 15th GA Bunko Award and placed in the top 10 of the This Light Novel is Amazing! 2024 ranking’s combined new works and bunko categories. It has inspired a manga and a sequel titled Gokusai no Yoru ni Kakeru Kimi to, Me ni Mienai Koi o Shita, as well as a live-action drama.
