The grand story will begin on July 4 (Sat) with a special one-hour broadcast featuring the first two episodes back-to-back.
Now, ahead of its premiere, a pre-broadcast PV for the TV anime 'Tenmaku no Jaadugar' has been unveiled! Additionally, the series' beautifully evocative ending theme has been confirmed as "Hoshi," a brand-new song by the globally acclaimed, one-of-a-kind band Queen Bee.
Serialized by Tomatosoup in Shueisha's 'Souffle' (Souffle), 'Tenmaku no Jaadugar' is a historical harem drama set in 13th-century Mongolia. The manga has become a major sensation, ranking first in Takarajima-sha's 'This Manga Is Amazing! 2023' (Women's Category), consecutively making the 'Manga Taisho' (Cartoon Grand Prize) list in both 2023 and 2024, and recently winning the Grand Prize in the Comic Division at the 55th Japan Cartoonists Association Awards. The anime is produced by Science SARU, the studio renowned worldwide for its exceptional quality in works such as 'Dandadan,' 'The Heike Story,' and 'Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!'

It foreshadows how Sitara and Doregene's determination will soon grow into a storm that shakes the entire Mongol Empire.
The anime's ending theme has been confirmed as "Hoshi," a new song by Queen Bee!

"Hoshi," written specifically for this anime, is a profound and powerful track that mirrors Sitara's inner journey as she resists a harsh fate and moves forward using her intellect as her weapon.
<Av-chan (Queen Bee) Comment>
Revenge. That's the emotion carried by the protagonist standing alone amidst the turbulent era portrayed in this work. Its immense scale reminded me of the stars.
I hope you'll find it deeply moving and enjoyable!
<Original Creator Tomatosoup's Comment>
It feels as if I'm listening to the story of these women, told beneath a starry night sky at the celestial tent.
This song, which gently whispers 'Don't forget,' carries both sorrow and strength.
Thank you so much for this wonderful piece of music.

<Premiere Episode Synopsis>
1213, the city of Tus in eastern Iran. After losing her mother and being torn far from her homeland, young girl Sitara is taken in by Fatima, a kind-hearted woman from a family of scholars. Initially resistant to studying and attempting to run away, Sitara is inspired by Muhammad, Fatima's son and an aspiring scholar, who tells her, 'If you become wise, you'll always know the best thing to do, no matter how difficult the situation.'
Thus, Sitara and the others quietly but richly accumulate knowledge in their daily lives.
But their peaceful existence is suddenly shattered.
The rapidly expanding Mongol Empire, led by its fourth prince, Tolui, finally reaches the land where Sitara and the others live. Captured by the Mongol army and cast into despair, Sitara is approached by a young boy named Shira, who serves as an interpreter for the Mongol forces.
Work Overview
Story
A girl and an empress.
Two women bound by vengeance will unleash a storm upon the world's most powerful empire.
After losing her mother and being torn from her homeland, young Sitara is taken in by Fatima, a kind-hearted woman from a family of scholars.
"If you study and become wise, no matter how hard things get, you'll always know what to do"—
Moved by these words from Muhammad, Fatima's son, Sitara comes to understand the value and potential of knowledge, deepening her learning.
Dreaming one day of catching up to Muhammad...
Meanwhile, the 'Mongol Empire,' led by Emperor Genghis Khan, continues to expand its power day by day.
This tide of history soon engulfs the town where Sitara lives.
After being captured and stripped of everything by Tolui, the fourth prince of the empire, Sitara resolves to use the one thing she still has—her wisdom—to infiltrate the imperial family and destroy the empire from within.
Harboring a burning desire for revenge, Sitara outwardly serves the empire. One day, she has a fateful encounter with Doregene, the sixth wife of the third prince, Ogodei. Doregene, too, carries a tragic past and secretly holds deep hatred toward the empire.
Sitara and Doregene.
When these two women, who should never have met, join hands, fate begins to shift dramatically.
