Love Through a Prism has begun streaming on Netflix, complete with an English dub and subtitles. The series, animated by Wit Studio, adapts the acclaimed manga of the same name, offering a blend of historical drama and romance set against the backdrop of early 20th-century London's art scene.
The story centers on Lili Ichijouin, a Japanese exchange student at the prestigious Saint Thomas Art Academy. Under immense pressure from her parents to excel, Lili must prove her artistic talent within six months. Her resolve is tested and perhaps bolstered by her encounters with Kit Church, a brilliant but aloof fellow student who has dedicated himself solely to his craft.
Wit Studio, known for their work on Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga, brings a high level of visual fidelity to the series. The anime captures the atmosphere of the period and the passion of its aspiring artists. The narrative explores themes of artistic ambition, cultural adjustment, and the complexities of budding romance as Lili navigates her new environment and her burgeoning feelings.
With a strong MAL score of 8.52 from over 17,000 voters, Love Through a Prism has already garnered critical praise. The 20-episode original net animation (ONA) format allows for a focused exploration of Lili's journey, her relationships, and her artistic development, making it a compelling watch for fans of character-driven historical dramas and romance.
