Le Chevalier D'Eon (Japanese: シュヴァリエ, Hepburn: Shuvarie, (French "Chevalier"), literally "Knight") is a Japanese anime television series produced by Production I.G based on an original story by Tow Ubukata. The anime originally aired in Japan on WOWOW from August 19, 2006, to February 2, 2007.[3] The story has also been adapted into a manga series written by Tow Ubukata and illustrated by Kiriko Yumeji, which was first published in 2005.[4] The title character is loosely based on the historical figure Chevalier d'Éon, who lived in the middle of 18th-century, pre-Revolutionary France under the reign of Louis XV.[3]
Le Chevalier D'Eon was originally licensed to the North American market by ADV Films,[5] but it became one of over thirty titles transferred from ADV Films to Funimation in 2008.[6]
[Le Chevalier D'eon] by Kiriko Yumeji and Tou Ubukata is a dark fantasy thriller with action, glamour and goth appeal.
