The story revolves around Masatora Akutsu, who descends to the human world in search of an idol for demons. During his quest, he encounters Lily Amane and extends an invitation for her to join him.

• Shunichi Toki as Kensaku Hirota, a good-natured but unlucky-in-love character.
• Nao Tōyama as Yūka Tanabashi, who sees Lily as her rival in love and is determined to compete for Masatora’s affection.

Itsuro Kawasaki, known for works like “Cardfight!! Vanguard G NEXT” and “The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting,” is directing the anime and handling series scripts. Children’s Playground Entertainment, in collaboration with GAINA, is responsible for the production. Character design is by Yūko Yahiro, music composition by Takurō Iga, and music production by ANLA.
