Japanese entertainment company ISABIRI INC. revealed the first PV for the TV anime Kizuna no Allele on Dec 2, 2022. The video features the main character Miracle, and also introduces the ADEN Academy which she attends.

A new key visual featuring the main characters too was released along with the PV.

Additionally, the character visuals, the cast who will be voicing them and characters’ descriptions too have been released.

Miracle (CV: Ayumi Hinohara)

She admires Kizuna AI and she is hoping to become a virtual artist like Ai. She has never learned to dance and sing before and has just started learning. She has been working hard and is aiming to win “Lapin Doll”, which is the top category of award as a virtual artist.

Quan (CV: Lina Kawaguchi)

She stood out with her looks but she hates to be judged by her look rather than who she really is inside.
Plus, she is rather shy in nature so she is hesitant to start her first step as a virtual artist.

Chris (CV: Hikari Kodama)

She has been searching for who she really is. While she works as a virtual artist, she is searching for a way to change “the unsatisfied feeling” inside her heart. She is interested in Miracle because she finds that there is something special about Miracle compared to other people.

Noelle (CV: Yuka Nukui)

Since Noelle grew up in an elite family, she has always been looking for perfection for herself. She is very strict towards both herself and other people as well. But she can also be kind and helpful to other people.

Riz (CV: Arisa Hanawa)

She is very smart and always prepares the research and analysis. When it comes to competition, she becomes too competitive and she must win. She is good at self-producing and has a desire to change the world all by herself.  

Kizuna AI (CV: Kizuna AI)

She is the legendary virtual artist who won “Lapin Doll”, which is the highest ranking as a virtual artist, 5 times in a row. She suddenly vanished from the virtual world and no one knows where she went.

Several months have passed since then…

Are you ready? ――
