Funimation has scheduled the DVD/BD release for the Tsugumomo series for May 22nd, 2018 and they’re now getting the promotion underway for it. With a bit done back during the simuldub phase, the trailer gives us a good look at the cast in action for that version while showing off the general premise and fanservice aspects of it. Priced at $64.98, it’ll include the basic extras of the clean versions of the opening and closing sequences with the twelve episode run.
The English language dub was directed by Aaron Dismuke and the cast includes Sarah Wiedenheft as Kiriha, Jeannie Tirado as Kasumi, Megan Shipman as Chisato, Howard Wang as Kazuya, Leah Clark as Kokuyou, Apphia Yu as Kukuri, Stephen Fu as Osamu, and Kyle Igneczi as Shirou.
The series has set Ryouichi Kuraya as both the director and working on the series composition, which you don’t see often. Kiyotaka Nakahara is on board as the character designer and working as the chief animation director along with Masaaki Sakurai. Zero-G is on board to produce the animation for it.
The Japanese cast includes Yuuko Sanpei as Kazuya Kagami, Naomi Oozora as Kiriha, Yurika Kubo as Kukuri, Eriko Matsui as Kokuyou, Noriko Shibasaki as Chikaishi Chisato, You Taichi as Sunao Sumeragi, Ayana Taketatsu as Kasumi Kagami, Sachi Kokuryu as Shirou Shiramine, Shiho Sasaki as Osamu Osanai, Kotono Mitsuishi as Kanaka Kagami, Rumi Ookubo as Kotetsu and M.A.O as Taguri Kanayama.

The property began its serialization in Monthly Action magazine back in 2007 and has had a solid run ever since.
Plot concept: Kazuya Kagami never goes anywhere without the precious “Sakura Obi” his mother gave him. One day a beautiful, kimono-clad girl named Kiriha appeared before him, and began to live in Kazuya’s room. Then there’s Chisato, Kazuya’s childhood friend with glasses and a ponytail, who likes to meddle with his affairs. Soon, there’s also an overprotective sister who seems to want to take baths with him. Jumble in a huge-chested priestess, a good-looking sorceress named Kokuyoura, beautiful women, and hot girls, Kazuya’s happy, embarrassing, and confusing life begins…
