#A Tanuki Takes Up Rakugo in My Master Has No Tail TV Anime in 2022

While Mameda’s rakugo master may not have a tail, Bunko knows how to rile up a crowd and trick them into believing her stories in the upcoming TV anime adaptation of TNSK’s My Master Has No Tail comedy manga series, which was announced today to premiere sometime in 2022 along with the reveal of the first visual and lead staff members.

Hideyo Yamamoto (Strike the Blood) will be directing My Master Has No Tail at LIDENFILMS, with Touko Machika (Lucky Star) writing the series composition and the scripts alongside Kei Shimobayashi, Aya Satsuki (Ultraman R/B), and Yuuho Togashi. Haruka Yamauchi (Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: The Battle of Unato sub-character designer) is adapting TNSK‘s manga character designs for animation as well as being the animation director on the series.

TNSK’s My Master Has No Tail manga has been released in Kodansha’s monthly manga magazine good! Afternoon since January 2019, with six volumes currently released in Japan. Kodansha also releases the manga in English, with the second volume released on January 4, 2022. Kodansha describes the series as such:

Mameda is a tanuki who was born in the wrong era – all she wants is to trick humans, but that age of tanuki shenanigans is over. But one woman, a rakugo master named Bunko, shows Mameda it’s still possible to cast magic on humans…only with words, not illusions. Mameda is determined to become Bunko’s apprentice, but can she convince the stoic master to take her on…?
