Natsu Mizuno's original work by Kei Misawa, ``The next duke who said, ``I have no intention of loving you,'' has come to dote on you for some reason'' has been adapted into an anime. It will be broadcast on the TV Asahi network BS Asahi from July. It has been announced that Yui Ishikawa will play the role of Elsa Yukalainen and Soma Saito will play the role of Julius Loias.
``Kimi-Ai'', also known as ``The next duke who said, ``I have no intention of loving you,'' somehow ends up doting on you'' is a heartwarming romantic comedy about Elsa, the daughter of a fallen aristocrat who lives a positive life despite being poor, and Julius, the elite but clumsy and troubled next duke. The story depicts how two people contract a marriage due to common interests, but as they spend time together, they come into contact with each other's kindness, and eventually become a real couple. The original work is currently being serialized in COMIC Polaris.
The released main visual ``Doting Premonition Edition'' depicts a smiling Elsa and Julius looking at her. Along with the visuals, a teaser PV has also been released.
