The show has Tsukuru Matsuki, Takashi Ninomiya, and Junya Funatani directing it with scripts from Masahiro Moto, Shinichi Tanaka, and Eiichi Davis Mizoi
The cast at the moment is revealed with Kosuke Suzuki as the lead.
The manga comes from Hiro Akiyama which began in 2015 and completed in 2017 with a single volume that came out in 2018.
Plot Concept: The show focuses on Hiro Akiyama, an office worker in a mid-size company, who is stressed out every day at work. He relaxes by people watching in the city and having sometimes lewd fantasies about the women he sees.
