The anticipation is building for the upcoming television anime adaptation of Saisou’s manga, My Tiny Senpai (Uchi no Kaisha no Chiisai Sempai no Hanashi), and fans are in for a treat! The official website has just released a web preview of the anime’s first episode, titled “My Company’s Senior Is Small and Cute,” giving us a glimpse into the adorable world of this office romantic comedy.
The anime is set to premiere on July 1, airing on TV Asahi and its affiliate channels in the “NUMAnimation” block. AT-X will also start broadcasting the series on July 2, followed by BS Asahi on July 8. And here’s the exciting news for international fans: Crunchyroll will be streaming the anime as it airs in Japan, providing English subtitles and even an English dub!
The talented cast members bringing these charming characters to life include Hina Tachibana as Shiori Katase, Yūki Shin as Takuma Shinozaki, Nobunaga Shimazaki as Chihiro Akina, Yumiri Hanamori as Chinatsu Hayakawa, and Mikako Komatsu as Yutaka Shinozaki. With such a talented lineup, we can expect their performances to add an extra layer of charm to the series.
Behind the scenes, the anime is being directed by Mitsutoshi Satō (known for works like Sakura no Chikai and Saikyō Kamizmode!) at project No.9. The scripts are penned by Keiichirō Ōchi, Yasuko Aoki, and Satoru Sugizawa, ensuring a delightful and humorous story. Hayato Hashiguchi and Hiromi Ogata, the artistic duo behind The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting, are in charge of the character designs, bringing these lovable characters to life on screen.
To complement the series, Sumika Horiguchi is composing the music, setting the perfect tone for the romantic comedy. The opening theme song, “Honey,” is performed by Tōya Kobayashi, while the ending theme song, “sugar,” is performed by YU-KA. With such catchy tunes, you’ll find yourself humming along in no time!
The manga’s creator, Saisou, launched the series on Takeshobo’s Storia Dash web manga service in April 2020, and it has gained a dedicated following. Fans can look forward to seeing their favorite characters and moments animated, as the anime captures the essence of the workplace romance between the new employee, Takuma Shinozaki, and his charismatic, short, and big-breasted superior, Shiori Katase, who genuinely cares about her subordinates.
Mark your calendars and get ready for a heartwarming and hilarious journey into the world of My Tiny Senpai when the anime debuts this summer. Stay tuned for more updates, as we count down the days until we can witness the adorable chemistry between Takuma and Shiori unfold on our screens!
