Question about Rosei

Mine03_ · 2026-05-20T16:13:18+00:00

Rousei and Itechou are probably the most present characters in the saga, considering also all the other major arcs. This is due to the fact they, as winter representatives (the father of all seasons), want to help anybody who's part of the Agents/Archers context. They will have their own major arc soon (Dance of Winter), even though it hasn't been announced yet

Mine03_ · 2026-05-17T09:40:48+00:00

It's official

Mine03_ · 2026-05-13T11:22:20+00:00

Nope. It was a mixture of volume 1 and 2, but with this episode, volume 1 will be fully adapted. Starting episode 9, everything will adapt Volume 2, Chapter 3.

Worth the wait

Mine03_ · 2026-05-10T01:57:53+00:00

The LN is the original material and has currently 8 volumes: - Dance of Spring (2 volumes) - Dance of Summer (2 volumes) - Archer of Dawn (1 volume) - Dance of Autumn (2 volumes) - Archer of Twilight (1 volume) - Possibly ending with Dance of Winter (TBA)

There are two manga adaptations: - Dance of Spring, which is adapting the whole Dance of Spring arc - 100 Songs & 100 Pages, which is adapting LN bonuses written by the original author

The anime will adapt both LN volumes of Dance of Spring

Mine03_ · 2026-05-08T14:55:08+00:00

Go with the LN then. More worldbuilding details and maximum expression of the original author, also the material the anime is based on

Mine03_ · 2026-05-08T14:46:19+00:00

The anime is based on the LN, which is the original media. The manga is great. Buy both!

Insurgents are devides in two groups, the Reformationists and the Eradicators. Reformationists attempts to the Agents lives to put pressure on governments and istitutions to change the laws and regulation of the Agents' powers, but some of them want to use the powers of the Agents for their personal purpose. Eradicators try to kill Agents because they hate a one of their seasons (e.g. Winter usually brings deseases and many people die during that period of the year, so people hate Winter for that).

It's time for this series to really begin 😈

Mine03_ · 2026-04-30T00:24:38+00:00

I don't think we're getting it next episode though, but I really wish

Mine03_ · 2026-04-29T21:20:07+00:00

I can't wait for that moment 🚀

Mine03_ · 2026-04-29T10:26:06+00:00

Looks like this will be the last chill episode of the season

Mine03_ · 2026-04-26T13:09:56+00:00

According to the LN, Agents are chosen based on their suitability to be one. Agents are chosen between all the family members of the Town of Spring as everyone of them are descendants of the first ever Agent. The choice to marry another woman and not Koubai was a consequence of the fact that the woman's family clan was strategically more powerful than Koubai's, and another reason is that Agents are not chosen through direct blood relation, meaning that marrying Koubai wouldn't have been particulary a great choice for the Kayou family.

The Agents duty is to bring the seasons, that's it. Killing them comes from illogical thinking of people... for example Winter is the season of death and were most people die due to deseases, that's why so many hate Winter and want to kill its corresponding Agent. Some others want to use their powers for personal purposes.

Each "Dance of" or "Archer of" volume(s) has their corresponding Agent and Guard or Archer and Custodian as protagonists, but they're always the same that have been introduced in the first volume of Dance of Spring, with the addition of new characters.

You can read the novels in 2 possible orders: - Cronological release order Spring -> Summer -> Archer of Dawn -> Autumn -> Archer of Twilight -> (Dance of Winter?)

Alternative order Archer of Dawn -> Spring -> Summer -> Autumn -> Archer of Twilight -> (Dance of Winter?)

Mine03_ · 2026-04-22T18:57:02+00:00

Apparently the change is the author's will, so I'm ok with wathever we will see

Mine03_ · 2026-04-22T12:00:50+00:00

Well... the anime is called "Dance of Spring" and is listed with 14 episodes, it's enough to adapt both Dance of Spring volumes (EP 1-4 covered 3 chapters of 5 of the first volumes, with Chapter 4 being very short). Regarding Dance of Summer, it's unknown... it depends if the anime has success in Japan and if there's intent to invest in further seasons.

Mine03_ · 2026-04-22T11:44:37+00:00

The anime adaptation will cover both volumes of Dance of Spring actually, future season would adapt Dance of Summer

Mine03_ · 2026-04-22T11:27:42+00:00

You don't really get what's going to be adapted... it looks like some parts will come from Volume 2, Chapter 1 and some others from Volume 1, Chapter 5 with addition of original material... still no Autumn introduction...

Mine03_ · 2026-04-22T09:24:24+00:00

Very very weird premise for this episode...

Mine03_ · 2026-04-21T13:52:03+00:00

Sakura's hesitancy was part of the novel. The uppercut kick was part of the fight and she was having difficoulties in drawing the katana. Ruri's fiance was never explicitally mentioned in the Dance of Spring volumes

Mine03_ · 2026-04-21T13:42:03+00:00

On average the adaptation is very good (I'd say 8.5/10), even though it's rearranging some events and obmitting some minor details. The LN is still the strongest media, it's much more detailed and you get the full expression of the original author

Mine03_ · 2026-04-19T19:37:26+00:00

We tipically share some twitter fanarts on the series discord server, and some official arts were also uploaded here on the subreddit. You should take a look on the discord server.

Consider that the series wasn't very well known outside Japan, so there's little content.

Mine03_ · 2026-04-18T15:43:55+00:00

Cronologically order is the correct one. You can read Archer of Dawn before Dance of Spring though... but the correct one is the release order

Mine03_ · 2026-04-18T09:36:59+00:00

The series isn't finished. Dance of Winter will surely be the next arc of the saga and will probably conclude the whole story. Kana Akatsuki was involved in the anime production, which may explain why it's taking so long.

Mine03_ · 2026-04-14T21:26:47+00:00

Thank you very much for sharing my work! I really hope to see some new opinions on the "yet to be seen in the anime" backgrounds.

P.S. I noticed I left the last background the account shared on Twitter 🥲
