XL Jōshi Anime's Promo Video Previews Theme Song

The official ComicFesta Anime YouTube channel began streaming a promotional video on Friday for XL Jо̄shi (XL Boss), the anime adaptation of Itо̄ Kani's Jо̄shi no Asoko wa XL Size!? Futoi Sakippo... Haitteru...! manga. The video is available in censored and uncensored (may be NSFW) versions.

The video previews the anime's theme song "XL BO$$," which will also have two versions. Haruki Ishiya, voice of Keisuke Sudō in the standard version of the anime, and Iroha Haruno, voice of Keisuke in the "complete version," are each performing a version of the song.

The anime will premiere on television on Tokyo MX and other networks and also begin streaming on October 6.

The story centers on Saki Watase, a female office worker who is running out of money. She takes a part-time job as a product tester and has to review an XL-size condom. Keisuke Sudō, Saki's "demon boss" she dislikes, reveals that he is XL-size. A romance then develops between Saki and Keisuke.

The anime will be the newest work for the ComicFesta manga website. Similar to previous ComicFesta Anime, the anime will have two casts: one for the "standard version" of the series and one for the more explicit "complete version." The "standard version" will broadcast on television, and the adult "complete version" will stream on the ComicFesta Anime website.

The casts for the both versions of the anime are:
(Note: name romanizations are not confirmed.)
