The anime adaptation of Ooyasan wa Shishunki! got underway this weekend and now a little bit more casting information has been finally revealed for it. Initially, the casting information was limited to just Yurika Kubo as Chie Satonaka. Now we’ve gotten the confirmations from the official site that Takashi Kondo is playing Maeda-san in it and Hitomi Nabatame is on board as Reiko. Additionally, Ibuki Kodi is playing Mayu and Erii Yamazaki is playing Yuki.
Crunchyroll has announced the pickup of the show for simulcast with plans for it to debut on January 10th at 10:30am ET. Availability for the series is fantastic as it’s open to Crunchyroll members worldwide outside of Asia.
The series was directed by Yuuki Ogawa working with Atsuki Shimizu who worked on the character designs and served as the chief animation director. Seven Arcs Pictures handled the animation for the series.
The series comes from creator Ruruu Minase and it began back in 2012 in Manga Time magazine. It’s got four volumes out so far, which is pretty good compared to a number of four-panel series.
Plot concept: Ooya-san wa Shishunki! follows the antics of Chie Satonaka, a middle schooler who is a landlord. Though she appears a little girl, at times, she behaves more like a grandmother, doing all the cleaning, cooking and housework around the apartment. Despite her responsibilities, she still enjoys a normal middle school life with her friends.
