Direction and storyboard are handled by Kenta Kushitani, who brings a grounded emotional rhythm to the otherwise unpredictable tone of the show.
The series, animated by Studio MOTHER, is adapted from a light novel series written by Teren Mikami and illustrated by Eku Takeshima, the artist behind Whisper Me a Love Song.
