Synopsis
When struggling artist Tristan is pulled into a hidden realm of magic and myth, he discovers everything he has ever wanted…
…adventure, purpose, and a mysterious girl named Aradia who makes him feel truly seen for the first time in his life.
But paradise comes with a price.
As their relationship deepens, Tristan begins to realise that the world around him is not what it seems. Strange memories surface. Reality itself starts to fracture. And the more he uncovers about Aradia’s past, the more he suspects that their meeting was never an accident.
Caught between two worlds and a destiny neither of them fully understands, Tristan must decide whether to chase the life he’s always dreamed of—or confront a truth that could destroy everything he loves.

Project Snapshot
Rid of You is a cinematic anime-inspired fantasy romance trilogy designed for audiences drawn to emotional storytelling, epic fantasy worlds, mystery, and character-driven drama.
Audience
Built for young adult and new adult fantasy audiences, particularly readers and viewers drawn to romance, escapism, emotional mystery, and visually rich anime-inspired storytelling.
Adaptation Fit
Ideally suited to animation or prestige fantasy television, with a strong emotional hook, cinematic world-building, supernatural romance, and a trilogy structure that naturally supports long-form storytelling.
Commercial Appeal
Combines fantasy romance, coming-of-age drama, and mystery with a completed 560-page graphic novel trilogy, audience validation, and strong potential for books, animation, collectibles, and expanded media.
The characters are well fleshed out – with distinct personal journeys and emotional states. I suspect that they’re all hiding something! I love that.
Audience Validation
The trilogy has raised over $50,000 through crowdfunding and reached thousands of readers worldwide.
This combination of completed source material, audience engagement, and proven market demand provides a strong foundation for future expansion and adaptation.
At its core, however, the story remains what has always resonated most strongly with readers: a deeply human tale of love, loss, belonging, and the consequences of refusing to let go.
Adaptation Potential & Visual Development
Every page of Rid of You was designed with cinematic storytelling in mind.
Rid of You was conceived as a deeply visual story from the very beginning, combining the emotional intimacy of a character-driven romance with the scale and spectacle of epic fantasy.
Across its 560-page trilogy, the series establishes a complete visual identity for the property, bringing its characters, creatures, locations, magic systems, and key narrative moments fully to life. Drawing inspiration from anime, cinematic fantasy, and contemporary entertainment design, the artwork balances expressive character performances with atmospheric world-building and dynamic action.
Created with cinematic storytelling at its core, the graphic novels serve as both a finished entertainment product and a proof of concept for adaptation, showcasing the tone, visual language, character arcs, and world-building that define the series.
The result is a property with a clear creative vision, an established audience, and an extensive library of existing visual assets.

Cast
Season One
Ever since his Father disappeared, Tristan has always felt out of place.
Struggling with loneliness and uncertain of his future, he stumbles into a hidden fae realm where he meets Aradia, a mysterious girl who seems to understand him in a way nobody else ever has. Drawn into her world of magic, wonder, and adventure, Tristan finally discovers the sense of belonging he has spent his life searching for.
As their friendship blossoms into something deeper, Tristan begins to embrace his new life among the fae. But beneath the beauty of this enchanting realm, dark secrets lie buried. Strange inconsistencies begin to emerge, memories refuse to align, and Tristan starts to suspect that the world around him is not what it appears to be.
As ancient forces stir and the boundaries between truth and illusion begin to fracture, Tristan is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: the paradise he has come to love may have been built on a lie.
Season One explores the excitement of first love, the search for belonging, and the seductive allure of escapism and a devastating conclusion, setting in motion a fantasy romance that will ultimately reshape two worlds.
Season Two
Years Pass, and Tristan world is barely recognisable.
A mysterious darkness is spreading across the city. Memories are disappearing. Entire lives are being forgotten. Haunted by the choices that led him here, Tristan becomes convinced that the catastrophe unfolding around him is somehow connected to the world he left behind – and to the girl he refuses to forget, but cannot remember.
Meanwhile, Aradia, heir to the Underrealm throne, has been captured by her vengeful mother, the Queen of the Starsea. As ancient powers awaken and the boundaries between worlds begin to collapse, Tristan and Aradia are forced onto separate journeys that challenge everything they believe about themselves, each other, and the past they share.
What follows is a sweeping fantasy adventure filled with forgotten memories, dangerous alliances, and devastating revelations, as both characters uncover secrets buried at the heart of their world.
Blending mystery, romance, and epic fantasy, Memoria expands the mythology of the series while deepening its emotional core, asking a powerful question:
Can we ever truly escape the choices that made us who we are?
Season Three: Reqiuem
The end of the world has already begun.
As reality fractures and the boundaries between realms collapse, Tristan and Aradia find themselves on opposite sides of an impossible choice. What began as a story of belonging has become a battle for the future of both worlds, as ancient truths surrounding the Starsea, the Fae Realm, and Tristan’s own past finally come to light.
Consumed by fear of loss and desperate to preserve the life she fought so hard to build, Aradia sets into motion a plan that threatens to trap all existence in an endless cycle of memory and longing. To stop her, Tristan must confront the one thing he has spent his entire journey avoiding: the possibility that love and letting go are not opposites.
As allies fall, worlds collide, and the fate of reality hangs in the balance, the pair are forced to face the consequences of every choice that brought them here. What follows is an emotional and visually spectacular finale that transforms a deeply personal romance into an epic fantasy tragedy about grief, acceptance, and the courage to move forward.
Requiem brings the trilogy to its conclusion, paying off mysteries seeded from the very beginning while delivering a powerful answer to the question at the heart of the series:
If holding on means losing everything, can you find the strength to let go?
