The novel won the grand prize in the fifth Kyoto Animation Award program’s novel category in 2014.
Kyoto Animation has not confirmed if the staff for the commercial will return for the announced anime project that is in the works.
Kyoto Animation posted an animated commercial on Friday for author Kana Akatsuki and illustrator Akiko Takase’s Violet Evergarden novel, and the ad ends with the announcement that an anime adaptation project is in the works.
Kyoto Animation previously streamed a Comiket 89 video for the novel in January.
