Deep within the inner palace lives a special consort who does not serve the emperor despite her position as a consort. She is known as the Raven Consort. People who have seen her say she looks like an old woman, while others say she looks like a young girl. Stories tell of her use of mysterious arts, and how she can take on any request, be it death curses or finding lost things. Koushun, the current emperor, goes to visit the Raven Consort with that intention. Without knowing that their fated meeting will become a taboo that will overturn history.

Where it came from
Raven of the Inner Palace, known in Japan as Koukyuu no Karasu, is a 2022 supernatural mystery anime series produced by Bandai Namco Pictures. Based on the light novel series written by Kouko Shirakawa and illustrated by Ayuko, the narrative follows Shouxue, a mysterious consort residing in the inner palace who performs occult rituals to assist those in need. The production aimed to adapt the series' distinct historical fantasy aesthetic, blending palace intrigue with traditional folklore.
The series was directed by Chizuru Miyawaki, who sought to capture the contemplative and ethereal tone of Shirakawa’s writing through a carefully curated color palette and character design. Upon its release, the adaptation was noted for its focus on character-driven mystery rather than traditional action, distinguishing it within a crowded landscape of supernatural anime. It stands as a refined entry in the historical fantasy genre, reflecting a growing audience interest in folklore-inspired period dramas.
