We learned last summer through the Good! Afternoon magazine that the manga series My Master Has No Tail is getting an anime adaptation. With the show recently set for a formal September 30th, 2022 debut, we now have a new character promotional video that focuses on Byakudanji Tsubaki as played by Takuya Eguchi.
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 series will star M.A.O as Mameda, Hibiku Yamamura as Bunko, Lynn as Shirara Tsubaki, Takuya Eguchi as Tsubaki Byakudanji, Ayumu Murase as Sakujiro, Natsuki Aikawa as Omatsu, Ikumi Hasegawa as Koito, Yuichiro Umehara as Rakuda. Additional cast includes Ayana Taketatsu as Enishi Kirino, Akira Ishida as Utaroku Ebisuya, and Hibiku Yamamura as Buncho Daikokutei.
The original manga series from TNSK began in 2019 in Good! Afternoon magazine and has six volumes out as of this announcement.

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.
