The anime stars Emi Nitta as Manul-kun, Emi Hirayama as Chatora-kun, and Inori Minase as Sukofu-kun. In addition, voice actor Toshiyuki Morikawa is contributing his voice to create the anime's sound effects.
Study Yu-saku, the illustrator responsible for the original character designs and scripts in the franchise's manga series on the LINE Manga service, is credited as the anime's original creator with MMDGP. Yūji Nagatani is directing the animation at Kachidoki Studio, and Hiroto Sasaki is composing the music. Yū Saitō is directing the sound at Chance iN, and Hidetsuna Kuwabara is handling the audio recording and editing.
