An official website went live on Wednesday announcing a television anime adaptation of Tomoko Ninomiya‘s manga Nanatsu-ya: Shinobu and Her Jewelry Box (Nanatsuya Shinobu no Hōsekibako). The site debuted a teaser trailer, teaser visual, key staff details, and confirmed a 2027 premiere. Ninomiya also released a celebratory illustration to mark the occasion.

Story

Shinobu is a second-year high school student whose family operates Kurata-ya, a long-established pawn shop in a lively central Tokyo neighborhood. She pitches in at the shop between classes and possesses a rare innate talent: the ability to perceive the “aura” emanating from gemstones. While she has no boyfriend, she does have a fiancé chosen by her grandfather — Akisada Kitagami, a man from a distinguished family who was taken in by Kurata-ya when he was young. He now works as a salesman for a prestigious jewelry brand, but carries more than a few secrets of his own.
