Akuma No Riddle
We’ve got some time before Akuma no Riddle hits its broadcast release sometime in 2014, but they first key visual for the new series has been released. The hsow is based off of the manga by Yun Kouga, who came to fame with Loveless and her character artwork contributions for Gundam 00, which brought in new fans to the franchise that wouldn’t ordinarily go there. Written by Kouga and illustrated by Sunao Minakata, the title has been running in Newtype since 2012 and doesn’t have much out overall just yet, but there’s enough for Diomedea to work with for its anime production. Check out the first key visual from Diomedea below.
