The trailer that just got out of the oven features two characters who will be very important to the story.
The official website for the anime Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds by GoRA and King Records has already released a trailer highlighting certain characters, such as Yukito Yanagi and Jingi Sagawa. It was also revealed that the opening theme for this anime will be “AYAKASHI” by Angela and the ending theme will be “Flashback” by author Saji.

Synopsis
“Yanagi Yukito is an orphan who one day encounters an eccentric disciple of his father’s. The strange man takes him to his birthplace on Ayakajima, made up of seven islands where mysterious beings called “Mitama” and dragons are rumored to reside. There, Yukito meets his father’s two other disciples, who protect the harmony of Ayakajima… which soon threatens to collapse.” – From Crunchyroll
Final Thoughts
I am very excited for this anime to come out, but to say that the character design is done by Kaneko Misaki, she is just refining and directing the animation. The initial concept of the characters is from one of my, if not my favourite artists, redjuice (Beatless, Guilty Crown, The Empire of Corpses) who has an extremely unique art style with huge quality.
So I believe we are going to have a project with a lot of quality, and a good story that will be providing us with a good experience. But to be sure, we’ll have to wait until the official release of the anime, and we on LAN will be ready to give you the proper reviews of the anime!
