About The Story of Cinderella

The Story of Cinderella (シンデレラ物語) blends adventure, fantasy and romance by Tatsunoko Production (1996). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Cinderella is the only daughter of a fairly wealthy family. When her mother dies, his father marries a widow with 2 daughters then goes travelling for business.

Also worth knowing: Cinderella before long grows into the slave of her stepmother and stepsisters. The Prince on the other hand, lives a boring life in the castle and one day escapes and pretends to be a commoner. Cinderella crosses paths with him through an accidental bump and turns into his bestfriend not knowing that he really is the prince.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Cinderella (Maria Kawamura) and Charles (Masami Kikuchi) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
