Pony Canyon started streaming the second promotional video of the anime adaptation of TNSK’s Uchi no Shishō wa Shippo ga Nai (My Master Has No Tail) rakugo manga. The video reveals four new cast members that will be joining the series which is set to premiere this October.
Hideyo Yamamoto is directing the anime at Liden Films. Touko Machida is supervising the series scripts and writing them alongside Kei Shimobayashi, Aya Satsuki, and Yūho Togashi. Ryō Yamauchi is credited as both character designer and chief animation director.
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. After bumping into Bunko, another tanuki girl who also transformed into a rakugo artist, Mameda begs Bunko to become her master and teach her the ways of playing a human.
