Mirai Minato (Masamune-kun’s Revenge) will direct the project at Silver Link, with Shin Oonuma (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, Baka and Test – Summon the Beasts) serving as chief director. Kazuya Hirata (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 3rei!!, Gekijōban Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya: Sekka no Chikai) is providing character designs for the project, while Fumihiko Shimo (Amagi Brilliant Park, New Game!) takes charge of series composition.

Other confirmed crew members include:

  • Assistant Director: Keisuke Inoue
  • Music: Ruka Kawada
  • Music Production: Flying Dog

The series will star the following:

  • Ayaka Sunohara: Rina Satou
  • Aki Shiina: Eri Kitamura
  • Nana Sunohara: Ayane Sakura

Satou and Kitamura are reprising their roles from a previous Drama CD.

Nekoume’s Miss Caretaker of Sunohara-sou launched in the pages of Ichijinsha’s Manga 4-Koma Palette in 2014. The series’ third volume hit retailers on November 22. The second volume, which hit stores in July 2016, included the drama CD that saw Satou and Kitamura’s debut as their characters.

Manga resource Baka-Updates describes the title as:

Shiina Aki is constantly being treated like a girl due to his feminine looks so he decides to move to Tokyo and attend middle school in an attempt to change himself.

However what awaits him in his new home, Sunohara-sou, is the kind-hearted caretaker, Sunohara Ayaka and three female members of Aki’s new middle school’s student council, named Yukimoto Yuzu, Yamanashi Sumire, and Kazami Yuri.

And so begins Aki’s new life of living with four girls in Tokyo.
