Distributor Shochiku has announced that Kou Sawada's sci-fi comedy manga Yumeneconnect will receive a television anime adaptation. The official reveal arrived alongside a teaser trailer showcasing the chaotic dynamic between the series' bedridden protagonist and an aggressive alien salesperson.
Production Staff and Cast
The production is being animated at Studio Massket, with Sota Yokote (To Your Eternity Season 3) directing the adaptation. Gigaemon Echikawa (A Galaxy Next Door) oversees series composition and scriptwriting duties, while character designs are handled by industry veteran Yoshihiro Watanabe (Haganai). Music is being composed by Hayato Matsumura under the banner of Lantis.
The two central leads heading the voice cast have also been confirmed:
- Yusuke Kobayashi (Subaru Natsuki in Re:Zero) as Yuhi Takamiya
- Yu Sasahara (Emilico in Shadows House) as Nano
Premise and Origins
Yuhi Takamiya is a perpetually sick high schooler whose illness has forced him to miss school since matriculation day. Overwhelmed by loneliness inside his bedroom, he shouts out a desperate plea for companionship. In response, an extraterrestrial door-to-door vendor named Nano from the planet Pokotsun materializes, determined to sell him bizarre cosmic gadgets—and even the galaxy's most lethal lifeforms—to shake up his quiet existence.
Sawada serialized the manga in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine starting in September 2024. Further broadcast scheduling and streaming distribution details will be announced by the production committee via the anime's official website.
