Romance can blossom when you least expect it...

LOVE THROUGH A PRISM
Yoko Kamio, whose manga "Boys Over Flowers" enraptured readers around the globe, brings a brand-new classic to viewers worldwide. Set at a London art academy in the opening decade of the 1900s, the Netflix Series "Love Through a Prism" follows Lili Ichijoin, a girl enchanted by painting, as she chases her dreams and experiences youth. This ensemble coming-of-age story about young people striving for prismatic radiance against the odds is about to begin. 
Manga author Yoko Kamio provided the original story and character drafts. The series is directed by Kazuto Nakazawa, known for directing the anime sequence of "Kill Bill: Volume 1," as well as creating and directing "B: The Beginning." WIT Studio ("Attack on Titan," "Moonrise") produced the animation, brilliantly portraying the story's dramatic moments against lush backgrounds of London's cityscape and beautiful nature. 

Teaching the value of holding on to and devoting oneself to a heartfelt dream, the Netflix Series “Love Through a Prism” shows how fast romance can blossom and how far it can reach. 

The Netflix Series "Love Through a Prism" starts streaming worldwide on Thursday, January 15, 2026, only on Netflix.
