With scripts by GoRA and original character designs by redjuice (Guilty Crown), AYAKA is being directed by Nobuyoshi Nagayama (Happy Sugar Life) at Studio Blanc, with animation character designs by Misaki Kaneko (Smile Down the Runway), sound direction by Ryo Tanaka (Tribe Nine) and music by Kana Shibue (Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju).

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.
