OZMAFIA!! TV Anime Shorts' Cast, Staff, Visual, July Premiere Revealed

Cast reprises roles from game, Creators in Pack animates series

The official website of the television anime short of Poni-Pachet's OZMAFIA!! otome game revealed the anime's cast, staff, visual, and July premiere on Monday.

The anime's cast, who all reprise their roles from the game, includes:

Tarusuke Shingaki as Caramia, a teacher at Oz Academy. A peaceful and good person overall, he's also good at looking after others.

Kazuyuki Okitsu as Kyrie, a teacher at Oz Academy. Although he looks kind at first glance, he's in fact a sadist; a fact he willingly admits. His sharp tongue shoots off like a machine gun.

Atsushi Kakehashi as Axel, a teacher at Oz Academy. With his serious, curt personality and lack of words, he is often misunderstood.

Mitsuhiro Ichiki as Scarlet, a high school student who transferred into Oz Academy. He's quite unremarkable, and takes a while to warm up to others. He has a nervous temperament, and often ends up getting the short side of the stick.

The official website lists the story:

Fūka is a girl who has lost her memories. While wandering the unfamiliar town she finds herself in, she realizes that she is being chased by someone. One of the mafia syndicates in town called the Oz Family saves her after she runs away in fear. In this town where friendship and conflict are two sides of the same coin, whose hand will Fūka take? And why does she have no memories...?

...Is the story of the original OZMAFIA!!, but since it doesn't fit into the format, it's been turned into a school story.

Having transferred into Oz Academy, Scarlet finds himself already in trouble. The three boys who save him in his time of need are named Caramia, Kyrie, and Axel.

Hisayoshi Hirasawa (Ojisan to Marshmallow) is serving as chief director of the series at Creators in Pack. Yūmasu, the scenario writer of the original game, will supervise the series' scripts. Hamuto Natsuno (Ojisan to Marshmallow) drew the original character designs, while Sonoka Kuroiwa (The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls, Gatchaman Crowds insight key animation) is designing the characters for animation, and is also serving as animation director. Satoi, the game's original artist and character designer, is supervising the production. Kimiyoshi Maruyama of Project Lights is composing the music.

The anime adaptation will have an original story featuring Scarlet as a new student at "Oz Academy" and Axel, Kyrie, and Caramia are all teachers. The anime will air on Tokyo MX and Sun TV.

Poni-Patchet released the otome game (game aimed at female players) in 2013 on PC. The company then released a PlayStation Vita port titled OZMAFIA!! -vivace- last year. MangaGamer acquired the license to the game in 2014.

MangaGamer released the game in English on April 29.

The cast of the game includes:

  • Akiko Hanamura as Fūka
  • Tarusuke Shingaki as Caramia
  • Kazuyuki Okitsu as Kyrie
  • Atsushi Kakehashi as Axel
  • Mitsuhiro Ichiki as Scarlet
  • Junya Enoki as Hänsel
  • Takuya Kirimoto as Caesar

Futabasha's Otome High! website serialized a manga adaptation by Yurino Tsukigase in 2012, and Futabasha published three compiled volumes of the manga.
