The anime will air on ABC and TV Asahi‘s Animazing!!! programming block, which airs late night on Saturday nights at 26:00 (effectively Sunday mornings at 2:00 a.m.), starting on January 9. The show will first air on AT-X on January 9 at 11:00 p.m. The anime will stream on ABEMA half an hour after the ABC and TV Asahi airing.
The anime stars:
- Hisako Kanemoto as Riyo Washizu
- Chikahiro Kobayashi as Gō Kiritani
- Shōya Ishige as Ginsuke Hatobane
Miyuki Ishida (I.Cinnamoroll, director, One Punch Man season 2 and 3 episode director) is directing the anime at J.C. Staff. Susumu Yamakawa (The Way of the Househusband three seasons, Murai in Love) is writing the scripts, and Natsuki Ōyama (Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?) is designing the characters.
The romantic comedy centers on Riyo Washizu, the daughter of the leader of the yakuza organization that occupies the Kanto region of Japan. Gō Kiritani, a young subordinate in the organization, becomes Riyo’s caretaker. He expects her to be just a docile child, but he soon learns that Riyo has a certain fetish — she loves seeing strong people when they are weak.
The manga debuted on Kodansha‘s Comic Days app in August 2024. Kodansha shipped the fifth volume on July 16.
