BLESS Reveals First PV, Key Visual and Ending Theme

The newly released key visual places Aia Udagawa and Jun Sumisaki in a composition resembling the inside of an eyeshadow palette. The two look toward the viewer with natural expressions, while items floating around them represent other characters who appear in the story.

The first promotional video features extensive footage from the anime and includes part of "New Page," the ending theme performed by HIKKA.

HIKKA said she was happy and honored to be offered the ending theme, adding that she sees many similarities between herself and protagonist Aia. Having also struggled while searching for her own identity, she said the song contains words she would have wanted to hear during that period of uncertainty. She expressed hope that the song, about moving toward the future while carrying the past and one's inner conflicts, will become an important page for listeners as well.

The key visual credits list Kaoru Miyazaki (nim) for design works, Honoka Yokoyama for key animation, Risa Wakabayashi of A-1 Pictures for art, Mana Hokuto of A-1 Pictures for finishing, and Eiki Eto of EXPLOSION for compositing.

The announced cast includes Tomohiro Ono as Aia Udagawa, Chiyuki Miura as Jun Sumisaki, Tarusuke Shingaki as Hikaru Oya, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Ginga Yoyogi, Koki Uchiyama as Akiharu Nakano, Yoshiki Nakajima as Joe Osaki, Yoshino Aoyama as Oroka Sumeragi, Momoka Terasawa as Shitataka Sumeragi, and Kentaro Kumagai as MM.

Introduction

BLESS is based on the manga of the same name by Yukino Sonoyama, serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius.

The story follows Aia Udagawa, who has given up on his dream of becoming a makeup artist, and Jun Sumisaki, who longs to become a model but has been unable to take the first step.

Both have hidden what they truly want while trying to fit in with those around them. After a contest at their school festival, the two begin moving toward their dreams through makeup.
