Read...

What if Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters weren't wicked? A new anime, expected this summer, tries to show us just that. Info and promo follow.
My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren't Wicked is the animated project inspired by the manga by Otsuji (orig. Ibitte Konai Gibo to Gishi - the English title is My mother-in-law and sister-in-law who don't bully me), published since 2020 and of which the ninth volume was published last February.
Fairy tale tropes are turned on their heads in this award-winning and comedic reimagining of the classic Cinderella story!
Miya is the illegitimate child of a prominent family. When her mother dies and her father's estate agrees to take her in, she's convinced she knows what awaits her in her new home: a life of servitude and misery at the hands of her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. Yet when she finally meets the women she expects to treat her like dirt, they actually end up being... sweet?!
The television anime is being produced by NEWON studios, with Keisuke Inoue (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!) directing, Nanami Hoshino (Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!) writing the script, and Mutsumi Sasaki (Laid-Back Camp) character designing and serving as chief animator.
Expected in July, here's a promo:
