Seven Sleeping Beauties Anime Announced for 2027 With Seven Princess Cast and Fantasy Rom-Com Mystery

Seven Sleeping Beauties is officially getting a TV anime adaptation in 2027, bringing Fiok Lee’s fantasy romantic comedy manga to the screen with seven princesses, one extremely serious prince and a curse that begins with a kiss but refuses to end that easily.

The announcement revealed a super teaser visual, a special celebration illustration drawn by original creator Fiok Lee, the first major staff members and the voice cast for all seven princesses. Animation production will be handled by Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ SMASH.

The anime is based on the manga 7-nin no Nemuri Hime, serialized in Kodansha’s Monthly Afternoon. The story follows Alec, the third prince of the Kingdom of Rudbeckia, who travels to the cursed Kingdom of Amaryllis to awaken a sleeping princess and save the land.

There is only one problem.

There is not one sleeping princess. There are seven.

Even worse, after Alec wakes all seven princesses with kisses, the rest of the kingdom remains asleep. With no clear answer and no one else awake, Alec and the seven princesses must begin living together while trying to uncover the secret behind the curse.

Seven Sleeping Beauties Will Premiere in 2027

Seven Sleeping Beauties is scheduled to premiere as a TV anime in 2027.

A specific premiere date has not yet been announced. The production committee has also not revealed the episode count, broadcast station, streaming platform, opening theme, ending theme or full character lineup.

For now, the main confirmed details are the 2027 broadcast window, the seven princess cast members and the core production staff.

The announcement positions the anime as a fantasy romantic comedy with mystery elements. That is important because Seven Sleeping Beauties is not only about a prince surrounded by cute princesses. The premise begins like a fairy tale, but it quickly turns into a strange locked-kingdom situation where romance, comedy and unanswered questions all exist together.

The central hook is simple and instantly readable: Alec must kiss seven sleeping princesses awake. But the real story begins after the expected fairy-tale solution fails.

The Super Teaser Visual Pays Homage to the Manga

The newly released super teaser visual was designed as a homage to the cover composition of the manga’s first volume.

The visual highlights the seven princesses in anime-style designs, emphasizing their individual charm while also surrounding the image with giant thorny briars. That detail gives the artwork a slightly unsettling mood, reminding viewers that the cute romantic comedy setup is built on top of a curse that has trapped an entire kingdom in sleep.

The teaser visual works because it captures both sides of the series.

On one side, the princesses are bright, colorful and inviting. Each one has a different personality, and the visual immediately sells the appeal of a cast built around seven heroines with distinct energies.

On the other side, the thorns around the frame suggest that the world is not as gentle as it looks. The curse is still active. The mystery is still unresolved. The kingdom remains trapped.

That contrast is exactly what makes Seven Sleeping Beauties more interesting than a simple romantic comedy.

What Is Seven Sleeping Beauties About?

Seven Sleeping Beauties follows Alec, the third prince of Rudbeckia.

Alec travels to the small Kingdom of Amaryllis, where a witch’s curse has placed the people into a deep sleep. His mission sounds like something from a classic fairy tale: awaken the princess with a kiss and save the kingdom.

But when Alec arrives, he discovers that the situation is much more complicated.

There are seven sleeping princesses. For reasons he does not fully understand, each one must be awakened with a kiss. Alec successfully wakes them all, but the rest of Amaryllis does not awaken.

Now, Alec and the seven princesses are the only ones awake in a sleeping kingdom.

Is the kiss itself the key? Is something still missing? Is the curse hiding another condition? Or is the truth behind Amaryllis far stranger than anyone expected?

With no easy answer, Alec and the princesses begin living together while trying to solve the mystery and save the kingdom.

A Fairy Tale Setup That Turns Into a Mystery

Seven Sleeping Beauties uses one of the most familiar fairy-tale images: a sleeping princess awakened by a kiss.

But instead of treating that as the ending, the series uses it as the beginning.

The expected story would be simple. A prince arrives, kisses the princess, breaks the curse and restores the kingdom. Seven Sleeping Beauties immediately breaks that expectation by multiplying the princesses and refusing to let the curse end.

This gives the story a playful but effective mystery engine.

Alec does what the fairy-tale logic appears to demand, but the world does not respond correctly. The princesses wake up, yet the kingdom stays asleep. That means the characters must start questioning the rules of the curse, the history of Amaryllis and the meaning of the kisses themselves.

This is where the series becomes more than a cute harem-style fantasy. The romantic comedy comes from Alec living with seven princesses, but the larger tension comes from the unanswered question: why are they the only ones awake?

Alec Is the Serious Prince at the Center of the Chaos

Alec has not yet received an officially announced anime voice actor, but he is clearly the central figure holding the story together.

As the third prince of Rudbeckia, Alec begins the story with a formal mission. He wants to save Amaryllis and lift the curse. Unlike a careless romantic comedy protagonist, Alec is defined by seriousness, responsibility and a sincere desire to help.

That seriousness is part of what makes the comedy work.

Alec is surrounded by seven princesses with very different personalities, while also carrying the pressure of solving a magical crisis. He is not simply living a lucky fantasy. He is trapped inside a situation where every romantic or comedic moment exists beside a national emergency.

The cast comments from the princess voice actors also emphasize Alec’s seriousness as part of the story’s unique atmosphere. The princesses may create chaos around him, but Alec’s sincere effort gives that chaos an emotional center.

The anime will need to make him likable, earnest and funny without turning him into a generic romantic lead.

Flora, the First Princess

Flora, the first princess, will be voiced by Aya Yamane.

Flora is described as generous and slightly airheaded, but she also has outstanding athletic ability. That combination gives her an immediate gap between appearance and action. She may seem soft or relaxed, but there is more energy and capability beneath the surface than viewers might expect.

As the eldest of the seven princesses, Flora may naturally carry a sense of older-sister presence. However, her airheaded side prevents her from being a purely composed leader figure.

That makes her a strong first face for the princess cast. She can be gentle, warm and surprising at the same time.

In a story built around seven heroines, each princess needs a clear personality. Flora’s mix of kindness, natural charm and unexpected physical ability gives the anime plenty of room for comedy and romantic tension.

Chiara, the Second Princess

Chiara, the second princess, will be voiced by Yoshino Aoyama.

Chiara is described as a teasing older-sister type who loves plants and flowers. Her mysterious and playful personality should make her one of the more mischievous members of the group.

A character like Chiara is important in a romantic comedy because she can push scenes forward. A teasing heroine often creates misunderstandings, emotional pressure and playful tension by saying exactly the kind of thing other characters are too embarrassed to say.

Her connection to plants and flowers also fits the story’s fairy-tale atmosphere. Amaryllis is a cursed kingdom surrounded by sleep and thorny imagery, so a princess associated with flowers may become visually and thematically important.

Chiara’s charm seems to come from the feeling that she knows more than she is saying. Whether that becomes simple comedy or part of the larger mystery remains one of the interesting questions for the anime.

Claire, the Third Princess

Claire, the third princess, will be voiced by Miku Ito.

Claire is described as kind, sincere and deeply in love with the idea of romance. She dreams of love and can get carried away by her own fantasies.

That makes her a perfect fit for a story that begins with a fairy-tale kiss.

For Claire, the idea of being awakened by a prince may not be only a magical condition. It may also connect directly to her romantic imagination. A character who dreams of love can make the story sweeter, but also funnier when reality refuses to match the fantasy she has built in her head.

Claire may become one of the heroines who most openly embraces the romantic side of the premise.

At the same time, the story’s mystery elements may challenge her idealized view of love. If the kiss is not enough to break the curse, then romance alone may not solve the kingdom’s problem.

Mia, the Fourth Princess

Mia, the fourth princess, will be voiced by Ayasa Ito.

Mia admires adulthood and tries to act grown up, but she is also timid. That contrast gives her an immediately sympathetic charm.

She wants to be seen as mature, but her fear and vulnerability reveal that she is still struggling to become the person she imagines herself to be.

This kind of character can be especially effective in ensemble romantic comedy. Mia’s attempts to act older may create funny moments, but her timid side can also make her emotionally endearing.

In a sleeping kingdom where only seven princesses and Alec are awake, every character must deal with fear in some way. Mia may represent the more fragile side of that situation. She wants to be strong enough to face what is happening, but the curse surrounding Amaryllis is still frightening.

That gives the anime room to turn her cuteness into something more emotionally meaningful.

Charlotte, the Fifth Princess

Charlotte, the fifth princess, will be voiced by Kana Ichinose.

Charlotte is described as someone who cannot tolerate injustice and often serves as the voice of reason. She also has a caring, almost motherly side.

That makes her extremely important to the group dynamic.

With seven princesses living together in an empty, cursed kingdom, the story needs at least one character who can respond sharply when things become too chaotic. Charlotte’s sense of justice and straight-man energy may help balance the more eccentric princesses.

She may also be one of the characters most focused on the seriousness of the curse. While other princesses might lean into romance, comedy or curiosity, Charlotte’s personality suggests that she will care deeply about doing what is right.

That could make her one of Alec’s strongest emotional and practical allies.

Yuka, the Sixth Princess

Yuka, the sixth princess, will be voiced by Fuka Izumi.

Yuka is full of curiosity and wants to investigate everything. In a story where the central problem is an unsolved magical curse, that makes her immediately valuable.

Her curiosity may drive the mystery side of the series. While Alec is responsible for saving the kingdom, Yuka’s personality naturally pushes her toward asking questions, testing possibilities and refusing to leave strange details alone.

Curious characters are especially useful in fantasy stories because they allow the audience to learn alongside them. Yuka can help explore Amaryllis, the curse, the sleeping citizens and whatever secrets are hidden behind the princesses’ condition.

She may also bring a bright, energetic feeling to the story. The idea that she wants to investigate everything suggests a heroine who is constantly moving, asking and reacting.

That makes her a natural source of both comedy and plot progress.

Eliza, the Seventh Princess

Eliza, the seventh princess, will be voiced by Rina Kawaguchi.

Eliza is described as energetic and someone who loves to eat. That gives her an easy and cheerful charm, especially in a cast where several other princesses may be more elegant, mysterious or serious.

Food-loving characters often bring warmth to fantasy stories because meals can become moments of comfort, comedy and bonding. In a kingdom where almost everyone else is asleep, shared food could become one of the ways Alec and the princesses build a strange temporary family.

Eliza’s energy may also help keep the story light when the mystery becomes heavier.

Seven Sleeping Beauties needs both sides to work: the sweetness of the princesses and the unease of the curse. Eliza’s bright personality can help preserve the comedy even when the larger situation remains unresolved.

The Seven Princess Cast

The announced cast for the seven princesses includes:

• Aya Yamane as Flora, the first princess
• Yoshino Aoyama as Chiara, the second princess
• Miku Ito as Claire, the third princess
• Ayasa Ito as Mia, the fourth princess
• Kana Ichinose as Charlotte, the fifth princess
• Fuka Izumi as Yuka, the sixth princess
• Rina Kawaguchi as Eliza, the seventh princess

This is one of the strongest parts of the announcement because the princesses are the heart of the anime’s appeal. Their voices will define the rhythm of the romantic comedy, the group chemistry and the emotional personality of Amaryllis.

Because Alec’s voice actor has not yet been announced, the princess cast currently carries most of the promotional attention.

Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ SMASH Handle Animation Production

Animation production will be handled by Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ SMASH.

This production choice is important because Seven Sleeping Beauties depends heavily on character appeal. The anime needs to make the princesses expressive, cute and distinct from one another while preserving the story’s slightly mysterious atmosphere.

Romantic comedy succeeds when viewers enjoy watching characters react. A glance, hesitation, blush, teasing smile or embarrassed pause can matter as much as dialogue.

Director Mankyu has commented on wanting to carefully portray expressions and breathing that only animation can show. That is exactly the kind of attention a series like this needs.

The story may have fantasy elements and curse mystery, but its emotional strength will come from character interaction. Alec and the seven princesses must feel alive together, especially because the setup traps them in an unusual form of shared life.

Mankyu Directs the Anime

Mankyu will direct Seven Sleeping Beauties.

His comment about the anime highlights the purity of the princesses, protected inside what he describes as a miniature garden. That phrasing is interesting because it suggests a deeper emotional reading of the story.

The princesses are not only romantic heroines. They have been sealed inside a cursed kingdom, isolated from the wider world and protected in a way that may also be limiting.

This could become one of the anime’s most interesting themes.

A fairy-tale princess often exists inside a beautiful enclosure: a castle, a tower, a sleeping spell, a destiny chosen by others. Seven Sleeping Beauties multiplies that image by seven and then places a serious prince inside the enclosure with them.

Mankyu’s direction will need to preserve the gentle romantic comedy tempo while also showing the unease beneath the cuteness.

Keiichiro Ochi Handles Series Composition and Script

Keiichiro Ochi is handling series composition and the script.

That role will be especially important because the anime has to balance several elements at once.

It is a fantasy story about a cursed kingdom. It is a romantic comedy about one prince and seven princesses. It is also a mystery about why the kiss awakened the princesses but not anyone else.

If the adaptation leans too far into comedy, the curse may feel unimportant. If it focuses too heavily on mystery, it may lose the warmth and playful energy that make the princesses appealing.

Ochi’s job is to maintain that balance across the season.

His official comment describes the story as a chaotic and heart-pounding romance that begins with a kiss, with seven heroines full of personality. That suggests the anime will lean confidently into classic romantic comedy while keeping the fantasy mystery as a continuing hook.

Miyabi Koseki Designs the Characters

Miyabi Koseki is responsible for character design.

Character design is crucial for Seven Sleeping Beauties because the story asks viewers to remember and care about seven princesses at once.

Each heroine needs a visual identity that matches her personality. Flora should feel gentle but capable. Chiara should feel teasing and elegant. Claire should feel romantic and sincere. Mia should feel young, timid and charming. Charlotte should feel principled and caring. Yuka should feel curious and energetic. Eliza should feel lively and warm.

Good character design can communicate those traits before a character even speaks.

The super teaser visual suggests that the anime designs are aiming for a soft, attractive and colorful look while keeping enough detail to make each princess distinct.

The Main Staff Behind Seven Sleeping Beauties

The currently announced staff includes:

• Original Creator: Fiok Lee
• Director: Mankyu
• Series Composition and Script: Keiichiro Ochi
• Character Design: Miyabi Koseki
• Animation Production: Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ SMASH

Additional staff members, including music, sound direction, art direction, color design, photography and editing, have not yet been announced.

The production committee also has not yet revealed the opening or ending theme songs.

The Manga Comes From Fiok Lee

Seven Sleeping Beauties is written and illustrated by Fiok Lee.

Lee won the Grand Prize in Kodansha’s Afternoon Four Seasons Award 2019 Winter Contest with the work Nemurenai. Seven Sleeping Beauties later began serialization in Monthly Afternoon in 2023.

The manga has continued as a romantic comedy with fantasy and mystery elements, using its fairy-tale setup to create a story that is cute, strange and increasingly curious as the characters search for the truth behind the curse.

Fiok Lee also drew a special celebration illustration for the anime announcement, featuring the seven princesses in gorgeous outfits.

In the official comment, Lee expressed happiness that a carefully drawn work is being adapted into anime and praised the cast performances during recording sessions.

Monthly Afternoon Gives the Series a Distinct Identity

The manga runs in Monthly Afternoon, Kodansha’s seinen manga magazine.

That publication context is interesting because Seven Sleeping Beauties may look at first like a simple fantasy harem comedy, but the Afternoon label often supports works with more unusual tones, slower character development or layered storytelling.

The series’ combination of cute princesses, romantic comedy and an unresolved curse fits that kind of space well.

It is accessible and playful, but it also has enough mystery to keep the story moving beyond the romantic setup.

This may help the anime attract viewers who enjoy romantic comedy but want something with a little more fairy-tale strangeness.

Why the Curse Makes the Romance More Interesting

The curse is the engine that makes Seven Sleeping Beauties more than a normal romantic comedy.

Without the curse, the story would simply be about a prince living with seven princesses. With the curse, every romantic moment has a second meaning.

Why did the princesses wake up? Why does a kiss matter? Why did the other citizens remain asleep? What does the witch actually want? What is hidden inside Amaryllis?

These questions keep the story from becoming only a collection of cute scenes.

The romance and mystery are tied together. Alec cannot separate his emotional relationship with the princesses from the magical problem he is trying to solve. Every kiss may be romantic, comedic or embarrassing, but it may also be a clue.

That is the clever part of the premise.

A Romantic Comedy Built Around Shared Life

After the princesses wake up, Alec and the seven heroines begin living together because they are the only ones awake in the kingdom.

This creates a strong romantic comedy structure.

Shared life means meals, rooms, misunderstandings, arguments, embarrassment, daily routines and growing emotional closeness. It also means the characters cannot simply walk away from one another. They are stuck together until the curse is solved.

That situation gives the anime many opportunities for comedy.

Alec is serious and responsible. The princesses are colorful and unpredictable. The kingdom is beautiful but empty. The curse is frightening, but daily life still has to continue.

The result is a story where domestic comedy and fantasy mystery can happen in the same scene.

Why the Seven-Heroine Structure Matters

The seven-princess structure could easily become overwhelming, but it also gives the story its main identity.

Each princess represents a different kind of romantic comedy energy. Flora brings gentle warmth and surprising physical ability. Chiara brings teasing mystery. Claire brings romantic imagination. Mia brings timid cuteness. Charlotte brings justice and common sense. Yuka brings curiosity. Eliza brings cheerful appetite and energy.

Together, they create a group dynamic rather than a one-on-one romance.

That is important because Alec’s challenge is not only to choose or impress someone. He must understand seven different people while also trying to save their kingdom.

The anime will likely succeed or fail based on how well it balances the princesses. If each one feels memorable, the series could become a lively ensemble romantic comedy. If some are underdeveloped, the premise may feel crowded.

The early cast announcement suggests the production understands how central the seven princesses are.

The Story Can Mix Comedy With Unease

One of the most promising parts of Seven Sleeping Beauties is its tonal contrast.

The basic setup is cute. A prince wakes seven princesses with kisses, and they all start living together in a fantasy kingdom. That sounds bright, funny and romantic.

But the situation itself is unsettling.

Everyone else in Amaryllis is asleep. The kingdom is not functioning normally. The princesses are awake, but they are isolated. The curse did not break the way it was supposed to. Giant thorn imagery surrounds the teaser visual.

This means the anime can maintain a light romantic comedy surface while slowly building a stranger mystery underneath.

That kind of balance can be very effective if handled carefully. Viewers can enjoy the charm of the princesses while still wondering what is truly wrong with Amaryllis.

What Has Not Been Announced Yet?

Several important details about Seven Sleeping Beauties remain unknown.

The anime has a confirmed 2027 broadcast window, but no exact premiere date has been announced.

The total episode count has not been revealed. The Japanese broadcast station and international streaming platform have also not been confirmed.

Alec’s voice actor has not yet been announced. Since Alec is the central protagonist, that will likely be one of the most important future cast updates.

The opening and ending theme songs have not been revealed.

Additional production staff, including music composer and sound director, may also be announced later.

Why Seven Sleeping Beauties Could Stand Out in 2027

Seven Sleeping Beauties could stand out because it has an instantly recognizable hook.

The idea of a prince waking a sleeping princess is familiar to almost everyone. The twist that there are seven princesses gives the premise immediate comedy. The further twist that the kingdom remains asleep gives the story mystery.

That layered setup makes the anime easy to explain but gives it room to grow.

It can appeal to fans of romantic comedy, fantasy settings, fairy-tale twists and ensemble heroine stories. It may also attract viewers who want something lighter than heavy action anime but still more plot-driven than a purely slice-of-life rom-com.

The announced princess cast is also strong, giving the production a clear promotional advantage before the premiere date is even known.

When Will Seven Sleeping Beauties Premiere?

Seven Sleeping Beauties will premiere as a TV anime in 2027.

The anime adapts Fiok Lee’s manga from Kodansha’s Monthly Afternoon and will be produced by Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ SMASH. Mankyu directs the series, Keiichiro Ochi handles series composition and script, and Miyabi Koseki provides character design.

The seven princesses will be voiced by Aya Yamane, Yoshino Aoyama, Miku Ito, Ayasa Ito, Kana Ichinose, Fuka Izumi and Rina Kawaguchi.

Alec’s mission begins like a fairy tale: wake the sleeping princess and save the kingdom.

But there are seven princesses.

And even after they open their eyes, Amaryllis remains trapped in sleep.

In 2027, Seven Sleeping Beauties will bring a fantasy romantic comedy where every kiss may be a clue, every princess may hold part of the answer and the cutest fairy tale in the kingdom may be hiding a much stranger curse.
