Kotono’s introduction wraps up a week of daily character visuals for each of the Shiunji family’s younger members, building up to the anime’s anticipated premiere in 2025.
Directed by Ryoki Kamitsubo, known for Hidamari Sketch, and produced by Doga Kobo, this series is positioned to capture viewers with its mix of family bonds and complex relationships.
The creative team includes Noboru Kimura as the series composer, bringing experience from works like Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture, and Miki Muto, who oversees character designs and animation.
The Shiunji Family Children centers around the Shiunji siblings, two sons and five daughters, each uniquely intelligent and beautiful, backed by the wealth and influence of their father.
Their presence in society often sparks attention and admiration, making them the talk of the town.
The story follows the eldest son, Arata, who is caught between his family responsibilities and the antics of his lively siblings, particularly his sisters.
Although Arata faces constant teasing and challenging situations with his family, his loyalty remains unwavering as he places their happiness above everything else.
The family’s dynamic takes a turn when Arata’s youngest sister turns fifteen, an age marking new discoveries and realizations.
Their father chooses this moment to reveal a shocking family secret that changes the way Arata views his relationships with his siblings.
This revelation is not only unexpected but shatters Arata’s understanding of his family, forcing him to reevaluate his role as the eldest brother and the nature of his bonds with each sibling.
The series promises to go through how Arata processes this secret and how it affects his dedication to his family.
In addition to family connections, The Shiunji Family Children will go through themes of forbidden and unyielding love, challenging typical family and societal norms.
The story seems to walk a fine line between family bonds and deeper, sometimes uncomfortable, emotional complexities, promising a unique blend of drama and introspection.
The Shiunji family members, each with their individual quirks and depth, will be central to the anime’s exploration of these layered relationships, making it a unique watch for anime fans.
Reiji Miyajima, known for his ability to portray characters with layered emotions, collaborates with Reiji Yukino, who provides illustration support for the manga.
