Itsuro Kawasaki (Arc the Lad, Samurai Jam -Bakumatsu Rock-) is directing the anime side at studio feel. neco is designing the anime side's original characters, and Tomoyuki Shitaya (Bakuman.) and Masakazu Yamazaki (Medaka Box Abnormal) are adapting those characters for animation. Kazuho Hyodo (ReLIFE, Robot Girls Z) and Tsuchiya are handling the series composition. Takeshi Nakatsuka (Brothers Conflict) is composing the music.
