Miku Itō also performs the opening theme song “Now On Air.”

Hideki Tachibana (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Chaos Dragon) is directing the anime at CONNECT, and Shoko Takimoto (ORESUKI: Are you the only one who loves me?, Chaos Dragon, Death March to The Parallel World Rhapsody) is designing the characters and serving as chief animation director.

The story follows Yūhi and Yasumi, who are both voice actresses that attend the same high school and are in the same class. They host a radio program together. However, Yasumi is really Yumiko the gyaru (gal) in real life, while Yūhi is actually Chika the quiet girl. They are diametrically opposed in appearance and personality, and they get into fights when they are not on air.

Nogatsu and Sabamizore launched the ongoing novel series in February 2020. Umemi Makimoto launched a manga adaptation in Kadokawa‘s Dengeki Maoh magazine in March 2020, and ended it in July 2021. The third and final compiled book volume shipped in September 2021.
