Production and Cast Expansions
Vocal talent Yoko Hikasa is joining the ensemble as Azusa Yashiro, bringing her extensive industry experience—including recent work on Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You—to the growing family comedy. She integrates into a star-studded main cast led by Naomi Ozora as Ito Narita, Toshiki Masuda as Gen Narita, and Taku Yashiro as Raku Narita.
The creative helm rests with director Hitoshi Nanba, renowned for his work on Golden Kamuy Seasons 1-3 and Tomo–chan Is a Girl!. He is joined by series composer Megumi Shimizu and character designers Shiori Hiraiwa and Yoko Fukushima.
Originating from Akira Ozaki's shojo manga serialized in Shueisha’s Bessatsu Margaret since January 2020, the franchise has steadily expanded its footprint across media formats, including a live-action film adaptation released in December 2024. International viewers can catch the ongoing simulcast via Crunchyroll as the narrative explores high school sophomore Ito adjusting to her chaotic new life with four unique stepbrothers.
