The official website for the television anime of TNSK's My Master Has No Tail (Uchi no Shishō wa Shippo ga Nai) manga announced on Wednesday that Junya Enoki will play the protagonist Mameda's father.
The anime will premiere on Tokyo MX on Friday, on MBS on Saturday, on BS Asahi on Sunday, and on AT-X on October 4. HIDIVE will stream the anime.
Hideyo Yamamoto (Strike the Blood, The Prince of Tennis II, Cells at Work! Code Black) is directing the anime at LIDEN FILMS. Touko Machida (Lucky Star, The IDOLM@STER) is supervising the series scripts and writing them with Kei Shimobayashi, Aya Satsuki, and Yūho Togashi. Ryō Yamauchi (Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: The Battle of Unato sub-sharacter designs) is serving as both character designer and chief animation director. GARNiDELiA performs the anime's opening theme song "Genai Yūgi" (Fleeting Love Game). Hinano performs the ending theme song "Virginia."
The television anime will star:
- M.A.O as Mameda
- Hibiku Yamamura as Bunko
- Lynn as Shirara Tsubaki
- Takuya Eguchi as Tsubaki Byakudanji
- Ayumu Murase as Sakujiro
- Natsuki Aikawa as Omatsu
- Ikumi Hasegawa as Koito
- Yuichiro Umehara as Rakuda
- Ayana Taketatsu as Enishi Kirino
- Akira Ishida as Utaroku Ebisuya
- Junichi Suwabe as Buncho Daikokutei
The fantasy story takes place in Japan's Taishō era (1912–1926). It follows Mameda, a shape-shifting tanuki girl who dreams of becoming human. Mameda transforms her outward appearance into a pretty raven-haired human girl and heads to the bustling city of Osaka. However, people instantly see through Mameda's guise, and one beautiful woman ruthlessly says to the dejected Mameda, "Go back where you came from." As it turns out, that woman named Bunko is herself a supernatural creature who transformed herself into a rakugo (comic storytelling) storyteller. Mameda begs Bunko to become her master and teach her the ways of playing a human.
TNSK debuted the manga in Kodansha's Good! Afternoon magazine in January 2019 and it is ongoing.
