Character designs by Range Murata


Range Murata, known for his unique style of bishōjo as well as tasteful illustrations of classy and cool men, has visualized the image of the original novel magnificently. In addition to the appearance of the characters, the costume and props also play an important part in bringing about this intriguing world. The heroine Kuniko manipulates a gigantic boomerang at will, 8 year-old princess Mikuni is adorned in a gorgeous kimono from the ancient Heian era of around a millennium ago, and 10 year-old prodigy scientist Karin controls the “carbon economy” of the world at her fingertips. Murata’s designs are sure to satisfy the eyes of even the most discriminating anime fans!
