Hiroki Yasumoto as Vice President
Akira Ishida as President
Nobuhiko Okamoto as Mitsuo
Yū Kobayashi as Yanagin
Yukana as Habara

Ai Yoshimura (episode director on Gintama, Oreimo) is serving as assistant director, and Yoshinori Yumoto (Battle Spirits: Brave, Strait Jacket) is designing the characters and overseeing the animation.
Yamauchi launched the manga in 2009, and the fourth compiled book volume shipped this past April.
