"Surgeon Elise," scheduled for broadcast as an anime in January 2024, tells the story of a protagonist who is reincarnated and confronts her past through medicine, growing as a person. The two repeated reincarnations and the medical theme set the series apart from other reincarnation-themed works. In addition to reading the original manga, there are some key points to know before the anime airs. This article will introduce some important points to check before the broadcast!
Synopsis
In a world other than Earth, Elise de Clorence, the eldest daughter of the Marquis de Clorence, is a selfish woman. Even after becoming Empress, she continued to commit evil deeds, and her husband, Linden de Romanoff, could no longer bear to watch her, so she was burned at the stake. She was then reborn in her second life as Takamoto Aoi, and, reflecting on her behavior in her previous life, tried to be honest, but she lost her life in an accident. In her third life, she was reborn again as Elise, and vowed to use what she had learned in her second life to become a doctor. What will be the fate of Elise as she struggles to face her past?
Japanese Version of the Novel
The original novel is written in Korean, but to commemorate the anime's broadcast in Japan, a Japanese version of the original novel, Bell, will be released. Some people may have already read the comic book version, but the novel has a different feel. The illustrations are by mimi, who also worked on the comic book version. The book will be released on January 15, 2024, shortly after the anime begins airing. It might be interesting to compare the novel and comic book versions and look for differences in expression.
Official Social Media
Prior to the anime's broadcast, the official social media accounts are posting a variety of information. They're packed with everything you need to know before the broadcast, including trailers, character introductions, and reposts of posts by the voice actors. The image is from X (formerly Twitter), but they also have an official Instagram account, so be sure to check it out. Once the broadcast actually begins, the official account will also provide information on the latest episodes. By following the account, you can easily check the latest episode information.
Opening Theme and Ending Theme
Speaking of new anime, the opening and ending themes are also a point of interest. The opening theme will be sung by Yui Ishikawa, who voices the main character, Elise. The song is titled "believer" and is credited to Elise. This is Ishikawa's first time performing an opening theme solo. Ishikawa stated on the official website that it is a song that evokes positive feelings. The ending theme, "Listen," will be sung by Maju Arai. Arai was originally a member of Little Glee Monster, but after graduating in 2017, she began her career as a solo singer. Arai said that after reading the original manga, he sensed the characters' earnest feelings and put those feelings into the music. I can't wait to hear both the opening and ending songs!
Summary of Things to Check Before Watching the Anime
In addition to reading the original manga, there are many ways to enjoy the show before it airs, such as checking social media and the opening and ending songs. I think these are common ways to enjoy other new anime. Getting to know an anime doesn't just mean watching the main story. There are many other ways to enjoy it, so why not actively research anything you're curious about before it airs? That's all for today. Thank you for reading.
