The TV anime adaptation of I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons has received a teaser trailer that previews the main characters Princess Leticia and Prince Clarke.
I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons is based on the light novel series by Izumi Sawano, which began publication under Shufu to Seikatsusha-sha’s PASH Books label in 2019 and has three volumes as of May 2024.
J-Novel Club describes the plot as:
Duchess Leticia Dorman has been betrothed to Crown Prince Clarke since age seven. She was once a rambunctious and free-spirited child, but the strict education she’s receiving to make her a fit future princess has really put a cramp in her lifestyle. Her only hope is that the prince might someday take an interest in someone else—so when Clarke shows up to a royal ball with an unknown woman at his side, Lettie is overcome with delight, presuming her dream has come true and her engagement has been broken off! She wastes no time retreating to an easygoing countryside life, but her newfound peace is cut short when the prince shows up and claims she’s still his fiancée! Clarke is determined to win Lettie over and marry her, while Lettie is determined to resist his charms and escape! Who will emerge victorious in this heart-pounding battle of wills?
The story was first published as a web novel on Shousetsuka ni Narou starting in 2018. Mill Yumezaki illustrated the first two volumes of the light novels, while the manga adaptation’s artist Uri Sugata is credited for volume three.
The anime is set to premiere in 2025.
