Ka Hee Im is directing the series, with Ai Yoshimura supervising, Ayumi Sekine penning the series' scripts, Saori Sakiguchi designing the characters based on the original designs by LAM, and Elements Garden and RUCCA composing the series' music.[1] It was initially scheduled for July 2022,[4] but was later delayed as Doga Kobo was temporarily closed due to an increase of COVID-19 infections among its staff members.[5] The series aired from January 5 to March 30, 2023, on TV Tokyo and other networks.[6] The opening theme song is "Love No Hate" by KNoCC, while the ending theme song is "Invisible -one heart-" by KNoCC and Stand-Alone.[7] Crunchyroll licensed the series.[8]
