Kadokawa has revealed the first key visual, main cast members, and a 2027 premiere date for the television anime adaptation of Enma Akiyama‘s manga Noa Is My Senior, and My Friend (Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi.).
Main Cast
- Rina Kawaguchi as Noa Saotome
- Tomoya Itō as Rihito Ōtsuka
Story
The manga follows Rihito Ōtsuka, a laid-back game company employee whose personal motto is to conserve energy at all costs, and Noa Saotome, his senior colleague and art director. Noa is the picture of a dedicated career woman — trusted by her superiors and admired by her juniors. Everything changes when Rihito accidentally stumbles upon a secret side of Noa that she keeps carefully hidden, setting off an after-work “friends only” relationship between the two.
