The high-tempo gag story follows an aspiring hitman who goes to a rumored assassins' hideout in Harajuku and finds a cafe staffed by high-fashion eccentrics. Yūya Hirose voices Mizuki Otokozawa, Nobuhiko Okamoto plays store manager Hitoshi Haritsukekawara, and Showtaro Morikubo plays Shō Dogenzaka, a man 2 trillion yen in debt.","whyItMatters":"Animate is building the property as a cross-media package from the start, with Plott on planning and production, Bandai Namco Music Live handling music and a first group song out the day after the announcement, so the anime arrives attached to a music rollout rather than standing alone.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe project has a full cast attached before any broadcast details. Tetsuei Sumiya plays Mero Togariishi, Sōhei Horikane plays Takara Rokurokusō, Masaru Yoshimura plays Kentarō Jinbayama, Takuma Nagatsuka plays Yuki Inubo, and Nobuhiko Okamoto plays Hitoshi Haritsukekawara, the twin-tailed 50-year-old decora-fashionista store manager.
