Anime

In December 2018, ComicFesta announced that they were creating an anime adaptation, and it was slated to debut on January 6, 2019, on Tokyo MX. The anime is produced by Magic Bus, with Misutaka Noshitani as director, Ayumi Saitō as scriptwriter, Taihei Nagai as the character designer, Takahiro Enomoto as the sound direction, and Studio Mausu handling sound production. Like ComicFesta’s other series, two versions of the anime were produced: a standard version for television broadcast, and a complete version including sexual content for streaming on ComicFesta Anime’s website. The theme song is “Home Sweet Home” by Masahiro Yamanaka and Junta Terashima, the voice actors of Kōya Asumi and Keiichi Naruse. Both versions of the first episode was screened in advance at a promotional event in Lefkada Shinjuku on December 30, 2018.
