The anime adaptation started airing during the April of 2013 and will complete the season with only 13 episodes. I hope there will be a second season.
Both the plot and the art is great! I highly recommend Karneval to everyone. It's extremely adorable and interesting. I hope you all (do/will) enjoy and love it as much as I do!
