The TV anime Hotaru no Yomeiri has launched its first-ever online kuji (lottery), now available through the FamimaOnline platform.
About Hotaru no Yomeiri
Based on the manga by Tachibana Oreko — known for Promise Cinderella and character design work on the TV anime Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de — the story is set during Japan’s Meiji era, a time of rapid Westernization. It follows Kirigaya Satoko, a young noblewoman who dreams of marrying into a prestigious family to make her father proud, and Goto Shinpei, an assassin utterly obsessed with her. Their forbidden love unfolds as a passionate, darkly romantic thriller.
The manga has surpassed 4 million copies in circulation and won the grand prize at the Denshi Comic Taisho 2024. The TV anime is scheduled to begin airing in October 2026, with Lynn voicing Kirigaya Satoko, Uchiyama Koki as Goto Shinpei, and Ito Kento as Ogawa Kotaro.
A Halloween Kuji with a “Hyakki Yako” Twist
Timed to the Halloween season, the kuji adopts a “Hyakki Yako” (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) theme, with all-new illustrations drawn exclusively by animation studio david production.
