The popularity of the Kaiji manga has worked out well for the spinoff series Middle Management Chronicle Tonegawa from Tensei Hagiwara, Tomohiro Hashimoto, and Tomoki Miyoshi as it’s getting the anime treatment. Scheduled for a summer 2018 debut, the project has now revealed a new round of supporting characters and their actors. While we still don’t have any staffing information for the show we do know that it’ll be animated by Madhouse.
The newly announced cast includes:
- Gonta: Rikiya Koyama (the Fate series)
Keiichi Ogino: Akira Ishida (Saiyuuki series)
Ataru Yaotome: Takuma Terashima (Atom: The Beginning)
Yoshihiro Kurosaki: Atsushi Miyauchi (Akagami no Shirayuki-hime 2nd Season)
Yuuji Endou: Kenjirou Tsuda (K Project)
Seiya Ichijou: Daisuke Namikawa (the Arslan Senki (TV) series)
Masayan: Akio Ootsuka (Alice to Zouroku)
The previously announced cast includes:
- Toshiyuki Morikawa as Yukio Tonegawa
- Masato Hagiwara as Kaiji Itō
- Wataru Hatano as Kenji Yamazaki
- Nobunaga Shimazaki as Jirō Saemonsaburō
- Taku Yashiro as Ebitani
- Kōtarō Nishiyama as Toshimasa Kawasaki
- Daiki Hamano as Nakata
- Takuya Eguchi as Kōji Dōshita
- Kengo Kawanishi as Junichi Hagio
- Takaya Aoyagi as Kikuchi
- Chiharu Sawashiro as Nagata
- Rena Maeda as Saeko Nishiguchi
- Masatane Tsukayama as Kazuta Hyōdō
The property has three volumes out and is something that will definitely appeal to an underserved part of the overall anime market.
Plot Concept: The series focuses on the “agonizing daily life of Teiai Group executive Yukio Tonegawa, who gets into conflicts with Hyōdō and the black suits.”
