The series is getting a twelve-volume release overall that began on September 30th, 2015 where the DVDs are priced at 6,000 yen and the Blu-ray’s at 6,800 yen.

The series translates as Snow White with the Red Hair and was produced by Studio Bones with Masahiro Ando directing based on the scripts by Dekao Akao.

Plot concept: Shirayuki was a young girl born with unique apple-red hair. She meets a famous but foolish Prince Raji, who falls in love with her at first sight and orders her to become his concubine. With nowhere else to go, Shirayuki cuts her hair and escapes to a neighboring country. While traversing through the forests, she meets a young boy, Zen, who helps her after she boldly cures his wounds but then gets poisoned by an apple given to Shirayuki. Meanwhile, Prince Raji sends out henchmen to search for her. What will happen to Shirayuki? What is Zen’s true character? A refreshing fantasy story between an optimistic heroine and a prince who constantly stays on her watch.
