- Ikumi Hasegawa as Ikuyo Kita
Keiichirō Saitō (ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. Regards) is directing the anime at CloverWorks. Erika Yoshida (Lupin III: Part IV) is in charge of series composition and screenplay. Kerorira (animation director for Wonder Egg Priority) is designing the characters.
Hamaji launched the manga in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Max magazine in December 2017.
