What’s the Story?

Created by Kuzushiro, A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace centers on Nana Futami, a fresh-faced shojo manga artist trying to keep her career—and sanity—intact amidst looming deadlines and editorial pressure. The manga doesn’t shy away from showing the rough edges of the job: last-minute edits, art crises, and those caffeine-fueled late nights that every creator knows too well.

Nana’s life is entwined with her editor, Kanade Sato, a diligent and sometimes intense professional who’s determined to help her succeed. Alongside them is Nana’s assistant, Mizuki Hazama, who balances support with her own share of workplace drama. The series also features a charming roster of supporting characters, including Yuzuki Hazama and Nagomi Hayachine, adding to the lively atmosphere of the manga industry’s behind-the-scenes.

The Anime Adaptation: What We Know So Far!

The anime adaptation is set to premiere in October 2025, and it’s being produced by Voil, a studio that, while not one of the industry giants, shows real promise with this project. The team’s goal is clear: to bring the manga’s authentic charm and relatable humor to life in a way that resonates with fans old and new.

Kaoru Suzuki is directing the series, known for his skill at balancing emotional nuance with comedic timing. The series composition is by Mio Inoue, whose previous work has skillfully combined humor and heartfelt storytelling. Together, they promise an adaptation that captures both the laughter and the soul of the source material.

Meet the Cast:

The voice cast announced so far is impressive and perfectly suited to bring these characters to life:

★ Yuko Natsuyoshi will voice Nana Futami, bringing warmth and a natural awkwardness that fits the rookie mangaka perfectly.
★ Sora Amamiya takes on the role of Kanade Sato, the hardworking editor whose determination and occasional sternness make her a compelling character.
★ Miku Itou voices Mizuki Hazama, Nana’s assistant and emotional support.

In addition to the leads, several supporting cast members have been confirmed, including Saori Hayami as Yuzuki Hazama and Sumire Uesaka as Nagomi Hayachine. Other notable voice actors like Iori Saeki, Mamiko Noto, and Kikuko Inoue are also part of the lineup, adding depth and experience to the ensemble.

Music, Streaming, and More:

No workplace anime is complete without the right soundtrack, and this one has already caught attention:

★ The opening theme, “Zettai Shousan!,” is performed by HoneyWorks feat. Hakonowa Lily, delivering an upbeat and catchy tune that matches the series’ lively tone.
★ The ending theme, “Thankful” by Sizuk, offers a softer, reflective mood, perfectly balancing the emotional moments of the show.

For streaming, the anime will be available on several Japanese platforms such as DMM TV, Lemino, U-NEXT, and Anime Houdai starting in October 2025. Internationally, Crunchyroll is already listed as an official licensee, which means many fans outside Japan will have a legal way to watch soon after or alongside the Japanese broadcast.
