June 3, 2026 – Today, the anime “Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky” (based on the novel by Nanigashi Shima, published by GA Bunko/SB Creative) unveiled its New Key Visual ahead of its July 2026 premiere.
The original novel, winner of the Grand Prize at the 15th GA Bunko Awards, is a pure love story depicting the budding romance between Kakeru Sorano, a shy university student, and Koharu Fuyutsuki, a blind heroine. The series has received
high praise for its delicate psychological descriptions and heart-moving story, ranking #3 in the General New Titles category of Takarajimasha’s Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! 2024 (lit. This Light Novel is Amazing)! A live-action show adaptation also began airing last December in Japan.
The Anime is produced by MAKARIA (The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows) and directed by Joe Yoshizaki (Director of The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows), with series composition written by Yuko Kakihara (Script of The Apothecary Diaries).
The voice cast features Miyu Irino (Shoya Ishida from A Silent Voice, Koshi Sugawara from Haikyu!!) as Kakeru Sorano, and Saori Hayami (Shinobu Kocho of Demon Slayer, Yor Forger of SPY×FAMILY) as Koharu Fuyutsuki, alongside Konomi Kohara and Yohei Azakami.
New Key Visual
The latest key visual depicts Koharu and Kakeru in an inverted composition. Lying within a translucent space, Kakeru is seen gazing at Koharu across a subtle distance while she reaches her hand out toward him—a fleeting moment captured from a direct overhead angle under soft, ambient top lighting.
With a screen composition wrapped in a crisp atmosphere and profound stillness, this visual perfectly symbolizes the delicate emotional ripples of the story and the “so close yet out of reach” bond between the two.

One spring night, Kakeru Sorano, a university freshman, is dragged by his dormmate Narumi to a welcome party. There, he meets Koharu Fuyutsuki, a blind girl who laughs often and speaks of her dreams; she’s practically the polar opposite of him.
From the moment he picks up her white cane after class, the distance between them begins to shrink. “I want to see fireworks,” she says one day. Those words carry a light that Kakeru gazes at directly for the first time.
A girl who cannot see and a boy who has shut himself off—this is a delicate love story woven by two people searching for light.
