Fiok Lee's fantasy romantic comedy manga Seven Sleeping Beauties (Shichinin no Nemuri-hime) is receiving a television anime adaptation scheduled for a 2027 debut. The announcement was made on July 7, 2026, via a new website that also released an ultra teaser visual and a commemorative illustration by Lee. The anime will be produced by Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ SMASH, with Mankyu directing. Keiichiro Ochi is handling series composition and scripts, and Masaru Koseki is designing the characters. The main cast features seven voice actresses portraying the sleeping princesses: Aya Yamane as Flora, Yoshino Aoyama as Kiara, Miku Itō as Claire, Ayasa Itō as Mia, Kana Ichinose as Charlotte, Fūka Izumi as Yūka, and Rina Kawaguchi as Eliza. The story follows Alec, the third prince of the Kingdom of Rudbeckia, who travels to the small kingdom of Amaryllis after a witch's curse puts its people to sleep. He must awaken the seven princesses with a kiss, but when they all wake up, the rest of the kingdom remains asleep, forcing the prince and princesses to live together while searching for a way to break the curse. The manga began serialization in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine in March 2023, and its 12th compiled volume is set for release on July 16, 2026.
The Seven Sleeping Beauties anime adaptation was announced alongside a teaser visual depicting the seven princesses in a dreamlike setting. Creator Fiok Lee also posted a hand-drawn illustration celebrating the news. The manga, serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon, has released 11 volumes as of the announcement, with the 12th volume hitting shelves on July 16, 2026. Director Mankyu previously worked on The IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors, The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague, and Migi & Dali. Series composer Keiichiro Ochi has written for The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten and Under Ninja. Character designer Masaru Koseki has credits on The Dreaming Boy Is a Realist and World's End Harem. The story's premise-a prince kissing seven princesses to break a curse, then living with them-has drawn comparisons to other harem fantasy comedies, but sources emphasize the focus on the princesses' individual personalities through their distinct voice actresses. The anime's official website and social media channels are now live.
