The upcoming fantasy romance anime Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter has unveiled a special character visual featuring Ellie, the personal maid of heroine Tina and the sole heir to the Walker family. The image, released on the anime’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, shows Ellie in a serene garden scene as anticipation builds for the series’ July 2025 broadcast.
Directed by Nobuyoshi Nagayama (AYAKA) at Studio Blanc, the anime boasts a strong creative team. Kazuya Ishikura serves as assistant director, with series composition by Megumi Shimizu (Banished from the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside). Akiko Toyoda (Girlfriend, Girlfriend) handles character designs, while music is composed by Kei Haneoka (Kaguya-sama: Love is War).
The series is based on the light novel published in English by J-Novel Club, which describes the story as follows:
After failing the final exam for a royal court sorcerer position, the gifted but down-on-his-luck Allen dreams of a quiet life in the countryside. However, with no money for even a train ticket, he accepts an unexpected job offer: tutoring the daughter of Duke Howard, one of the kingdom’s most powerful nobles.
Tina, despite her intelligence and academic excellence, cannot cast even a single spell—an issue that threatens her chances of getting into the prestigious Royal Academy, where magic ability is a must. With entrance exams fast approaching, Allen must use his unique spellcasting methods to help her overcome a magical block that has stumped even the kingdom’s top experts. But as Allen delves deeper, he begins to question whether solving Tina’s problem is what her influential father truly wants.
