Hiromu Kumamoto, who also worked on Takashima's previous two anime, is the scriptwriter for the anime. Haruka Oda is the character designer. R.O.N is composing the music.
DearDream, the in-story male idol unit from the Dream Festival! franchise (of which Tomita and Mizoguchi are members), performed the theme song for the first season.
