The cat is finally out of the bag for the anime adaptation of The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again, which has been aloof with its details since the anime’s announcement in May last year, as the main cast and staff, plus a visual and July 2023 premiere window, were all unveiled for the slice-of-life comedy series today.

Yui Ishikawa (Mikasa in Attack on Titan) is adopting the role of bumbling businesswoman Saku Fukuzawa, alongside Hiroki Yasumoto (Chad in Bleach) as capable feline Yukichi.

Based on the manga by Hitsuji Yamada, The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today is being chief-directed by Susumu Kudo (Magic Kaito 1412) and directed by Katsumasa Yokomine at studio GoHands, with scripts by Tamazo Yanagi (Scar on the Praetar) and character designs by Takayuki Uchida (Hand Shakers).

Seven Seas Entertainment, who publishes the manga’s official English version, describes the series as such:

When Saku took in a stray black cat, she never expected that he would become the equivalent of a housekeeping life partner. But Yukichi, a giant cat who towers over Saku, is not your ordinary feline. He takes great pride in his culinary skills, and a good sale at the supermarket always gets his whiskers twitching. Saku may not have her act together yet, but at least she has Yukichi!
