A new key visual featuring Meliodas, Elizabeth Liones and Gowther from the popular TV anime series Nanatsu no Taizai has been featured in the March issue of Animedia. While it isn’t officially a valentine’s themed poster, it certainly does have that feel to it.
The Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki. It has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shounen Magazine since October 2012, with the chapters collected into ten tankōbon volumes as of June 17, 2014.

Synopsis of Nanatsu no Taizai from Haruhichan:
The “Seven Deadly Sins,” a group of evil knights who conspired to overthrow the kingdom of Britannia, were said to have been eradicated by the Holy Knights, although some claim that they still live. Ten years later, the Holy Knights have staged a coup d’état and assassinated the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. Elizabeth, the king’s third daughter, sets out on a journey to find the “Seven Deadly Sins,” and to enlist their help in taking back the kingdom.
