Seishi Minakami handles series scripts and Mai Furuki designs the characters. Ninomiya drew an illustration to mark the announcement, carrying the messages "Anime adaptation!!" and "It's 2027." The manga runs in Kodansha's Kiss magazine, where it began serialization in November 2013, and Kodansha will publish the 28th compiled volume on November 13. Kodansha's K MANGA service publishes the manga in English. The story follows Shinobu, a high school second-year whose family runs the Kurata-ya pawnshop in central Tokyo. She can see the aura released by gemstones. Her grandfather has picked a fiancé for her, Akisada Kitagami, a jewelry salesman with secrets in his past. An official X account, @nanatsuya_pr, has also opened.
Chiaki Kon returns to a Tomoko Ninomiya work after directing the Nodame Cantabile: Paris and Finale anime, and J.C.STAFF, which animated the Nodame Cantabile series, produces the new show. Kon said in a comment: "I'm grateful to have the opportunity to be involved in Tomoko Ninomiya-sensei's work once again. The stories that unfold from gemstones are truly fascinating."
The teaser visual places Shinobu in a chair with Akisada standing beside her, surrounded by large red and green jewels and pearls. Ninomiya's commemorative illustration shows Shinobu in a white shirt and Akisada holding a "Pawn" signboard. The teaser trailer is built around vividly colored jewels.
The manga went on several hiatuses from 2018 to 2019 because of the author's health. Ninomiya ran Nodame Cantabile in Kiss from 2001 to 2009; Del Rey published 16 volumes in North America before the publisher stopped releasing manga, and Kodansha USA Publishing later released all 25 volumes in English digitally. Nodame Cantabile became three television anime series plus live-action drama and film adaptations.
