One day, a 15-year-old girl named Chiya enters the gates, but she has another, secret reason for wanting to become an uranaishi. Together with three very different girls, Kon, Koume, and Nono, Chiya gets started as a fortune teller's apprentice.

Deko Akao (Snow White with the Red Hair, Etotama, Noragami) is handling the series composition, and Mai Otsuka (Shakugan no Shana, Non Non Biyori) is designing the characters for animation.
The anime will premiere on TBS on January 5 late at night at 1:58 a.m. (effectively January 6 morning), and on BS-TBS on January 7 late at night at 1:00 a.m. (effectively January 8 morning).
