We learned in early October that the fifth installment of the Kono Danshi series of works is getting an anime adaptation with Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto desu. Set up as a TV Series, it’s now been revealed who the lead actors in it will be. Yuuki Ono is set to play Chiharu Kashima while Taku Yashiro is on board as Toyohi Utsumi.
The title itself may not be familiar, but the first two works have been licensed and released in North America already. Released by Sentai Filmworks, we’ve seen This Boy Can Fight Aliens and This Boy Caught A Merman previously.
Details on the fifth installment, where each one focuses on different characters, are pretty much nil at this point. The third and fourth iterations of the series, were done as a CD and an OVA respectively with Kono Danshi, Akunin to Yobaremasu and This Boy Suffers From Crystallization.
Soubi Yamamoto will be returning from the work she did on the OVAs to work on this TV series as well. Yamamoto’s previous TV work was the Meganebu! series, which also was picked up and licensed by Sentai Filmworks.
Plot concept: Chiharu Kashima is the captain of the Wizard Bureau’s Crisis Countermeasures Division. One day, he meets a friendly man named Toyohi Utsumi at the bar he frequents. Soon after the meeting, Utsumi confesses, “I’ve fallen in love with Kashima-san.” Kashima is taken aback, but the two soon begin to spend more time together.
