About TV Anime May I Ask for One Final Thing?
An engagement broken off at a ball — what looked set to be a typical "villainess" condemnation scene took a very different turn.
In the middle of a ball, Duke's daughter Scarlet receives an abrupt and unreasonable annulment from her fiancé, the second prince Kyle. She is then told he has a "new fiancée" and is falsely accused of crimes she never committed. Having endured Kyle's repeated harassments since childhood purely because of her status as his fiancée, Scarlet finally reaches her breaking point.
"This is my final request.
May I knock this awful woman flat?"
The elegant duke's daughter Scarlet clenches her fists — and the dance truly begins.
Based on the hit series that has surpassed 2 million copies sold, May I Ask for One Final Thing? is now a TV anime — an exhilarating fantasy following a noblewoman who fights with her fists.
