The official website for the anime of Hiroaki Mizusaki's Miss Kuroitsu From the Monster Development Department (Kaijin Kaihatsubu no Kuroitsu-san) manga revealed a new key visual and a new cast member for the anime on Tuesday. The show's official Twitter account also revealed that all-female idol group Maybe Me will perform the show's ending theme songs "Aimai Identity" and "Destiny."
Yūichirō Umehara joins the cast as Professor Sadamaki.
The anime will premiere on Asahi Broadcasting, TV Asahi, and 24 affiliated channels within the "Animazing!!!" block on January 8.
Kaori Maeda voices protagonist Tōka Kuroitsu, while Satomi Amano voices Wolf Bate.
Hisashi Saito (Haganai, The Testament of Sister New Devil, Heaven's Lost Property) is directing the anime at Quad. Katsuhiko Takayama (Ga-Rei: Zero, And Yet the Town Moves, Aldnoah.Zero) is in charge of the series scripts. Kazuya Morimae (Haganai, The Testament of Sister New Devil animation director) is designing the characters for animation.
Male idol group AXXX1S is performing the anime's opening theme song "Special Force."
The manga centers on Kuroitsu, an assistant researcher in the superhuman research & development department of Agastya, a villainous secret organization that battles with heroes who try to save the world. Kuroitsu lives a busy life in Agastya, caught between the absurd requests of her bosses; making presentations; implementing new features into superhumans; and getting results within the allotted time, budget, and spec requests; all without vacation.
Mizusaki launched the manga on Flex Comic's Comic Meteor website in April 2019. Flex Comic published the manga's second compiled book volume on July 12.
