With the upcoming issue of Good! Afternoon magazine being updated on Amazon with the cover for it, we learned earlier this week that the manga series My Master Has No Tail is getting an anime adaptation. No details about the project were included with the bit. That didn’t take long to change, however, as a new promotional video for it has dropped and it’s revealed that it will star M.A.O as Mameda and Hibiku Yamamura as Bunko. The promo only shows a few seconds of animation and focuses on the manga itself, but it does give us some cute voiceover bits for the end.
The original manga series from TNSK began in 2019 in Good! Afternoon magazine and has six volumes out as of this announcement.
Check out the official site and Twitter (TBA).
Plot Concept: The fantasy story takes place in Japan’s Taishō era (1912–1926). It follows Mameda, a shape-shifting tanuki girl who dreams of becoming human. Mame transforms her outward appearance into a pretty raven-haired human girl and heads to the bustling city of Osaka. However, people instantly see through Mameda’s guise, and one beautiful woman ruthlessly says to the dejected Mameda, “Go back where you came from.” As it turns out, that woman named Bunko is herself a supernatural creature who transformed herself into a rakugo (comic storytelling) storyteller. Mameda begs Bunko to become her master and teach her the ways of playing a human.
