So, will this series live up to its namesake?

We break the details down below.

HoneyWorks designer Yamako (I’m glad I could keep running) will provide character designs for the project, while Mari Okada (Maquia – When the Promised Flower Blooms, Black Butler) takes charge of series composition.

Five cast members were confirmed, though their specific roles have yet to be announced. All five are newcomers to the anime voice acting scene, who were chosen by an open audition process. The quintet will form the “High School Children” group.
