Animate has announced a new multimedia project titled Harajuku Himegoto House, which will encompass anime, music, and other mediums. It has also revealed the cast and staff for the franchise.
The so-called “high-tempo gag” story will focus on an aspiring hitman who heads to a rumored hideout for assassins in Harajuku. What he discovers instead, though, a cafe staffed by a group of elaborately dressed eccentric individuals. A TV anime based on the project will release at a later date. Plott is responsible for the project’s planning and production, while Bandai Namco Music Live (Lantis) is providing the project’s music. Animate is collaborating on promotion, with visual artist Aki Akane (also known as Akane Aki) working on the project’s original character illustrations.
The cast for the series includes the following:
- Yūya Hirose as Mizuki Otokozawa
- Tetsuei Sumiya as Mero Togariishi
- Sōhei Horikane as Takara Rokurokusō
- Masaru Yoshimura as Kentarō Jinbayama
- Takuma Nagatsuka as Yuki Inubo
- Nobuhiko Okamoto as Hitoshi Haritsukekawara
- Showtaro Morikubo as Shō Dogenzaka
