'Sono Keisatsukan, Tokidoki Yajū!' TV Anime Canceled Due to 'Various Circumstances'

The official website for the television anime of Sigma Torai's Sono Keisatsukan, Tokidoki Yajū! (That Policeman, Sometimes a Beast!) adult manga announced on Monday that the anime's production has been canceled due to "various circumstances." The anime was previously scheduled to premiere this year.

The manga centers on the timid office worker Hiyori and the policeman Kumano. Hiyori by chance gets into an accident one day, and breaks her arm. Kumano, who was present at her accident, feels responsible and decides to live with her to support her while her arm heals. Hiyori feels at ease because Kumano is a policeman, but Kumano in truth has little self-restraint.

Kazuhiro Toda (I Want to Be His Prey) was scheduled to be the chief director for the anime at Rabbit Gate, and Saburou Miura (Show Time!, Show Time! 2, Secret Mission - Undercover Agents Never Back Down!) was slated to direct the anime and write the scripts. Yukihiro Makino (Balthus - Tia's Radiance director, Hayate the Combat Butler episode director) was listed as assistant director, Haruna Kamiyama (name romanization not confirmed) would have been the character designer, and Hisayoshi Hirasawa (Love Flops, Show Time!) would have been the sound director.

Ichijinsha's LOVEBITES e-book label serializes the manga. Ichijinsha published the manga's 10th volume on April 1. The manga has 2 million copies in circulation.

Torai's Omiai Aite wa Oshiego, Tsuyoki na, Mondaiji. manga inspired a Comic Festa (now AnimeFesta) TV and net anime that debuted in October 2017. Coolmic streamed the anime in English under the title My Matchmaking Partner is a Student, An Aggressive Troublemaker.
