About IRODUKU: The World in Colors

IRODUKU: The World in Colors (色づく世界の明日から) blends drama, romance and slice of life by P.A.WORKS (2018). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Hitomi Tsukishiro may be the child of a family of witches, but after losing her ability to see color, she also lost her sense of magic. Nothing has been able to help her regain that gift — nothing until Hitomi’s grandmother, that is, sends Hitomi back in time to the year 2018!

Further in, there Hitomi crosses paths with her grandmother’s younger self. She also finds out fascinating drawings of a young man named Yuito Aoi. The moment Hitomi lays eyes on his work, colors flood back into view.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Kaori Ishihara as Hitomi Tsukishiro and Ayumu Murase as Chigusa Fukazawa. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
