#Five Salarymen Join the Cast of General Manager of Baby TV Anime

Five new cast members have been announced for Aka-chan Honbuchou (known as “General Manager of Baby” in English), an upcoming short form TV anime based on the web comic by Sachiko Takeuchi about a 47 year old executive he stoically continues to do his job even after he spontaneously reverts to the body of an infant child. The new cast members include:

• Sōma Saitō as Nishiura.
• Showtaro Morikubo as Section Chief Amano.
• Tetsuo Sakaguchi as Department Chief Sakai.
• Miyuki Sawashiro as Miiko.
• And Hōchū Ōtsuka as Department Chief Tachibana.

The original Aka-chan Honbuchou web comic was published from 2017 – 2020. The story of the series follows General Manager Takeda, a 47 year old office executive who suddenly reverts into an eight month old baby one day. With the help of his subordinates, General Manager Takeda continues to do his middle management job.

The Aka-chan Honbuchou TV anime is directed by Marie Abe and features animation production by Tomovies. The series runs for 8 episodes, with each episode being approximately 5 minutes in length. All 8 episodes will broadcast on NHK General TV from 24:40 – 25:20 on March 28, 2021.

(Please note that since some Japanese TV schedules count early-morning programming as late-night programming of the previous day, the above time frame is actually from 12:40 – 1:20am JST on March 29, 2021).
