To mark this thrilling announcement, a captivating teaser trailer and an enchanting visual have been unveiled, offering fans a first glimpse into the world of Pia and Rufus. The main voice cast has also been revealed, with the talented Miku Ito, known for her role as Miku in The Quintessential Quintuplets, stepping into the shoes of Pia. Joining her is Ryota Osaka, recognized for his portrayal of Satan in The Devil is a Part-Timer, who will lend his voice to Rufus. While the excitement builds, an official release date for the series is yet to be confirmed.
This engaging story originates from the light novel series penned by Hiro Oda and illustrated by Tsubasa.v. Published under Enterbrain’s B’s Log Bunko imprint, the series captivated readers from August 2020 to April 2024, concluding with seven compelling volumes. Furthermore, the narrative was also brought to life through a manga adaptation by Aji Murata, which ran in KadoComi from February 2021 to January 2024, collected into four volumes.
The plot introduces us to a unique protagonist: a former palaeontology student who finds herself reincarnated as Pia. Not just any character, Pia is destined to be the faceless villainess in an otome game titled ‘Caroline and the Rainbow Magic Sweets.’ Determined to defy her preordained banishment, Pia embarks on a mission to break off her engagement with Rufus, the distinguished son of the Prime Minister. However, Rufus has other plans. Instead of simply letting her go, he proposes an audacious bet: if he were to betray her before she graduates, he would bestow upon her an astounding hundred million gold coins and her own territory. This intriguing gamble sets the stage for a delightful and dramatic tale of wits, romance, and destiny.
