Such is the case today as we get look at several character shots as well as a new key visual that features the cast. The series is set to premiere on October 5th, 2014 as it is getting a fairly standard kickoff with a broadcast on Tokyo MX, YTV, BS11 and Chukyo TV. A key visual was released a couple of weeks ago that you can see on the right that focuses on our lead character of Kyoya Sata.
The series comes from Ayuko Hatta, which began back in 2011 and has eight volumes released in Japan so far, along with a few spinoffs such as a novel and Drama CD. The series is being directed by Kenichi Kasai based on scripts by Sawako Hirabayashi with character designs by Maki Fujioka, who is also serving as the chief animation director.

Their conversations then was overheard by the guy, Sata Kyouya. Erika went to explain and proposed her idea of faking as lovers. However, Sata who gave off the nice-charming feelings guy turns out to be a black prince and used her reasons to blackmail her instead.
