Genjitsu no Yohane’s “Sunshine in the Mirror” PV Sets July Debut
The ‘Love Live’ series is, without a doubt, among the most popular and influential anime series of the 2010s. Genjitsu no Yohane – Sunshine in the Mirror, a spinoff anime, will premiere this summer, as was previously reported.
The new spinoff series has generated a lot of excitement among viewers because it takes set in a fantastical realm distinct from the Love Live series. Yoshiko Tsushima, a resident of the port city of Numazu, is the protagonist. Yoshiko, who has never felt like she belonged anywhere, embarks on a journey to discover who she is and where she belongs.
To add to the excitement, Love Live!’s spinoff anime, Genjitsu no Yohane: Sunshine in the Mirror, has just recently begun airing. The second promotional video for Sunshine!! featuring the series’ idol group Aqours performing the opening theme song, “Genjitsu Mysterium”, has been released. The first episode of the anime will air on July 2, 2023, as was previously announced.
Additional series cast members were also introduced in the promotional film:

| Chika | Anju Inami | Yumi (Wonder Momo) |

To ensure the success of the new series, the following people will be working behind the scenes:

Okay, that’s it for now. If the upcoming series ‘Genjitsu no Yohane -Sunshine in the Mirror’ is anything like the trailers, it will be a must-watch for me.
