The source light novel, by Kana Akatsuki and illustrated by Akiko Takase, took the grand prize in 2014’s Kyoto Animation Awards’ “Novel” category.
Fans of the KyoAni light novel adaptation Violet Evergarden have more to look forward to: the company has announced that there is a new animation project on the horizon.
The series’s official Twitter account touts the upcoming project as a “completely new work” — which may well mean it strays from or expands upon the source light novel.
