AYAKA is directed by Nobuyoshi Nagayama and features animation production by Studio Blanc. Crunchyroll will stream the series as part of its summer 2023 anime simulcast lineup, describing the story of AYAKA as follows:
The story follows Yukito Yanagi, an orphan who one day encounters an eccentric disciple of his father’s. The strange man takes him to his birthplace on Ayakajima, made up of seven islands where mysterious beings called “Mitama” and dragons are rumored to reside. There, Yukito meets his father’s two other disciples, who protect the harmony of Ayakajima… which soon threatens to collapse.
