The Crunchyroll platform
broadcasts the series KING OF PRISM: Shiny Seven Stars and
describes it like this: After participating in the Prism King Cup representing
Edel Rose, Ichijo Shin decides to enter the high school division of Kakyoin
Academy to become a true Prism Star. Koji, Hiro and Kazuki, members of the
group Over The Rainbow, become independent to found their own agency.

the aim of dethroning the current Prism King, kicking off a new competition
between Edel Rose and Schwarz Rose.

illustrations of these talented mangakas not only serve as a promotion, but as
a tribute to a franchise that continues to shine brightly on the Japanese anime
stage.
