Noriyoshi Sasaki, whose credits include Joshi Kausei, directs the anime at STUDIO CLUTCH and Animation Studio Seven. Toko Machida, known for YAIBA: Samurai Legend, handles series composition.
Hiroyuki Miseki provides the character designs. KOHTA YAMAMOTO, Shun Narita, and Yuki Furuhashi compose the music.
The anime adapts the light novels written by Harunohi Biyori and illustrated by Yu Hitaki. J-Novel Club publishes the series in English and describes the story:
After a monster attack leaves her orphaned, Alicia endures three miserable years in an orphanage before escaping. A violent encounter with a woman intent on killing her brings her into contact with a crystal that fills her mind with unfamiliar knowledge. She discovers that she is supposed to be the heroine of an otome game—and refuses to follow its prescribed future. Determined to survive on her own terms, Alicia uses that knowledge to become stronger, learning to navigate a ruthless world with help from a stranger she meets in the woods.
