- Sayumi Suzushiro as Himari Ishikura
- Nene Hieda as Shisei Hojo
- Hōchū Ohtsuka as Tenryu Hojo
- Fumi Hirano as Chiyo Sakuramori

Tatsuya Takahashi (The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls, Domestic Girlfriend, Idoly Pride) is overseeing the series scripts, Nanako Tatsu (Date A Live IV, Date A Live V assistant character design) is designing the characters, and Arisa Okehazama (Jujutsu Kaisen, The Apothecary Diaries) is composing the music. EGG FIRM is producing the series.
Idol group =LOVE performs the show's opening theme song "Koibito Ijō, Suki Miman" (More Than Lovers, Less Than Love, a tongue-in-cheek nod to a typical Japanese translation for the English phrase "more than friends, less than lovers.") Hinaki Yano performs the ending theme song "Suki Kirai mo Oikoshite" (Overtaking Love and Hate).
