While no launch time is set yet, FUNimation has added Riddle Story of Devil, aka Akuma no Riddle, for their spring 2014 anime simulcast schedule. The series is set to go live on Tuesday, April 8th with a time to be decided soon with new episodes following weekly for EVS subscribers and a week later for free members. The show is based off of the manga by Yun Kouga, who came to fame with Loveless and her character artwork contributions for Gundam 00, which brought in new fans to the franchise that wouldn’t ordinarily go there. Written by Kouga and illustrated by Sunao Minakata, the title has been running in Newtype since 2012 and doesn’t have much out overall just yet, but there’s enough for Diomedea to work with for its anime production.
Plot concept: Tokaku Azuma is a heartless teenage assassin on a mission of death. She’s been sent to a prestigious, all-girls boarding school to compete in an assassination game against eleven other beautiful killers. Their heinous mission: send the innocent and cheerful Haru Ichinose to an early grave. But when Tokaku finds herself strangely drawn to her intended target, she must utilize her lethal skills to keep her new friend alive – and Haru must place her life in the ruthless, cold-blooded hands of the very woman sent to kill her.
I’m definitely happy that someone is subbing this, I cannot wait to watch it and buy it when and if the blu ray comes out
