Hato (Nora, Princess, and Stray Cat) is credited with the original project and the scripts. Hirofumi Ogura (Black Butler II, The Knight in the Area) is the anime's director. Eku Takeshima is designing the characters, and Ken Itakura is adapting those designs for animation. Shinei Animation is animating the series, and Ascension is credited with production cooperation.

The project also includes an upcoming game. Both the game and anime will launch worldwide at the same time they each launch in Japan.
