We learned last summer through the Good! Afternoon magazine that the manga series My Master Has No Tail is getting an anime adaptation. No details about the project were included originally beyond some of the cast that came with the first teaser promo. Earlier this week we got reveal that Hideyo Yamamoto is set to direct it at Liden Films with plans for a 2022 debut. Yamamoto has been a series director on a few projects including Cells at Work! Code Black and Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka as well as most of the Strike the Blood OVA and TV projects.
The latest update is a new key visual that you can see below.
The series will star M.A.O as Mameda and Hibiku Yamamura as Bunko.
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.
