Victoria of Many Faces adds KI_EN to its anime lineup
The upcoming Victoria of Many Faces anime has revealed another piece of its summer rollout: three-member band KI_EN will perform the ending theme song, titled “En no Tsuki.”
The series is currently set to premiere in July 2026 on TV Tokyo and its affiliate stations in Japan. No SEA streaming platform has been named in the provided announcement yet, so Malaysian fans will want to keep an eye out for later simulcast updates closer to the season.
For anime fans here, this is one to park on the Summer 2026 watchlist if you enjoy spy stories, fantasy kingdoms, hidden identities, and the classic “I just want a quiet life but trouble keeps finding me” setup. Basically, if you like your heroines competent, dangerous, and pretending very hard to be normal, this sounds like the lane.
What is Victoria of Many Faces about?
The story follows Chloe, a highly skilled spy known for handling tough missions thanks to her disguise talent and combat ability. After being betrayed by her boss, she vanishes and starts over under a new identity: Victoria, an ordinary citizen in the neighbouring kingdom of Ashberry.
Of course, “ordinary” never lasts long in anime.
Victoria tries to live peacefully, but her old spy instincts and abilities quickly become useful again as she gets pulled into the lives of people around her. At the same time, powerful figures — including the kingdom’s second prince — begin noticing that there is more to her than she lets on. So yes, the “many faces” part is not just for style points.
For Malaysian and SEA viewers, the appeal is pretty easy to understand. We get tons of isekai and fantasy adaptations every season, but a female-led spy-fantasy series with disguise work, political attention, and a heroine trying to outrun her past could stand out if the anime nails the tension and character drama.
Staff behind the anime
The anime is being directed by Nobukage Kimura at Studio DEEN. Kimura’s credits include work on Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26, as well as episode direction for titles such as tsuritama and Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-.
Naohiro Fukushima is handling series scripts, while Mina Ōsawa, known for work on the Given anime franchise, is designing the characters for animation. Frontier Works is credited with original work planning.
The wider production team also includes sub-character designers Keika Ōtsuka, Sayuri Sakimoto, Yuri Naminoue, and Mana Matsumura. Ren Zhou Li is serving as compositing director of photography. Music is by Moe Hyūga, whose past credits include The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, Steins;Gate 0, and If My Favorite Pop Idol Made it to the Budokan, I Would Die. Animation producers are Takayuki Saitō and Naoki Sakai.
Light novel and manga background
Victoria of Many Faces began as a web novel by Syuu on Shōsetsuka ni Narō in December 2021, with its latest web update listed in February 2022. Kadokawa released the third print novel volume in January 2024.
There is also a manga adaptation by Komo Ushino, which launched on Kadokawa’s Flos Comic website in December 2022. The manga’s sixth volume shipped on February 16. Yen Press is publishing both the light novel series and manga adaptation in English, which is good news for readers in Malaysia who prefer catching up before the anime drops.
For now, the big takeaway is simple: Victoria of Many Faces is shaping up as a spy-fantasy entry to watch for July, and the KI_EN ending theme gives it one more identity before the anime steps into the spotlight.
