GRIMES, IA, May 24, 2007 – Anime producer The Right Stuf International is pleased to announce the release of TO HEART, DVD Vol. 4: Love and Truth on August 28, 2007.

The fourth and final volume of the To Heart anime will be available in two variations: a disc-only edition and a limited-edition with exclusive, collectible art box. Designed to house all four volumes of this fan-favorite series, the art box will be strictly limited to a one-time run of 1500 pieces and also include a numbered “certificate of authenticity.” To Heart, DVD Vol. 4 features episodes 11-13, plus the final two “mini” episodes (“omake”) featured on the Japanese DVD release.

* “anime any shoujo fan will enjoy” – Active Anime

Based on one of Japan’s most popular games, To Heart follows childhood friends Akari and Hiroyuki, and their classmates, as they deal with life’s everyday – and not-so-everyday – dramas. This tale of love, relationships and friendship has been a fan favorite since its 1999 Japanese television debut. Perceptive American fans may recognize the series from its numerous “cameos” in the best-selling Comic Party anime.

Available to U.S. audiences for the first time ever, Right Stuf’s release of To Heart features a complete video restoration of the entire 13-episode series.

In To Heart, DVD Vol. 4: Love and Truth:

Episode 11: “A Warm Gaze”

Multi has proven herself to be more than just a robot-she’s an irreplaceable friend. But soon, she’ll have to return to the lab, and if she isn’t up to their standards, she’ll be scrapped! Can Hiroyuki and Akari teach her how to be a proper maid before her time is up?

Episode 12: “The Season of Emotions”

Christmas is coming, and Shiho’s usually excited about it. But this year, something’s different. Shiho seems quiet and withdrawn-not at all like her usual boisterous self. Her thoughts keep drifting to the past, to when she first met Hiroyuki…

Episode 13: “On a Day of Snow”

Akari, Shiho, Hiroyuki and Masashi have been friends for a very long time. But as close as they are, there are words that have been left unsaid. As the days wind down to Shiho’s Christmas get-together, the time has finally come for true feelings to be spoken.

Special Mini Episode 5

What do robot maids do in their spare time? They get jobs at a bookstore, of course!

Special Mini Episode 6

All the world’s a stage, and the To Heart cast merely players! But why is Serika’s butler wearing a pink cat suit…?
