The ComicFesta library continues to grow while at the same time being kept from outside acquisition as they previously announced an anime adaptation of Mai Girigi’s manga Showtime! ~Minami O-nee-san Datte H Shitai~. With plans for an October 3rd, 2021 debut, the series has now dropped its first promotional video, clocking in at just 15-seconds, which features the theme song “Cafe Latte Koi Gokoro” by Minami Takasaki.
The show has Saburou Miura writing the scripts and directing it while Kenichi Hamazaki is handling the character designs.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Rikka Kitami as Minami Takasaki
- Hasshinsen as Shōji Fujimoto
- Airi Akatsuki as Kana Fujimoto
- Kanade Shirakami as Kazuhiro O-nii-san
- Alice Sakurai as Pao-tan

Plot Concept: The story of Showtime! ~Uta no O-nee-san Datte Shitai~ begins when Shōji Fujimoto, a widowed single father who aspires to be a picture book author, encounters Minami Takasaki, a singing idol on the children’s educational show O-nee-san to Uta-ou! (Let’s Sing Along With Our Songstress!), outside work. As a television idol for children, Minami is lonely in her private life and is not allowed to fall in love. Any scandals are absolutely prohibited. Thus begins an adult love story with a songstress.
