The first trailer for With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess has been released, offering a glimpse into the upcoming fantasy romance. The series, animated by Imageworks Studio, adapts the manga Kizu darake Seijo yori Houfuku wo Komete. The PV suggests a narrative centered on Lua Restoatt, a saintess candidate whose healing powers come at a devastating personal cost, earning her the moniker "Broken Saintess."
The synopsis indicates a world where a legendary saintess saved the kingdom centuries ago, leading to a tradition of powerful women serving the nation. Lua's defective healing ability, which transfers injuries to herself, sets the stage for a story likely exploring themes of sacrifice, revenge, and the darker side of divine power. The trailer's tone hints at dramatic confrontations and the personal toll of Lua's unique curse.
Imageworks Studio's handling of the series will be crucial, especially given the manga's themes of revenge and royal intrigue. The trailer's visuals will provide the first concrete look at how the studio plans to render Lua's self-inflicted wounds and the fantastical elements of the Kingdom of Geed. The series is slated for a Summer 2025 release.
