The anime will premiere on July 2 at 24:30 (effectively, July 3 at 12:30 a.m.) on the Tokyo MX and BS11 channels. The anime will start airing on AT-X on July 25.
The anime will star:
Studio Lemon’s Taku Kimura (Kairyū to Yūbinya-san, Star Wars: Visions‘ “Tattooine Rhapsody”) is directing the anime at Bibury Animation Studio, and Takashi Aoshima (Himouto! Umaruchan, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You) is writing the scripts. Riki Matsuura is designing the characters, and Keiichi Suzuki (Saint Young Men, Tokyo Godfathers) is composing the music.
Seven Seas is releasing the manga in English, and it describes this comedy set in a world where humans, catgirls, and similar species co-exist:
Yani is a catgirl with a seriously bad smoking habit. She smokes so much that her apartment smells like ash and is littered with cigarette butts—and plenty of other trash! Every time she tries to quit, she becomes weak to the cravings and gives in almost instantly. Will she ever get her life together, or is she doomed to live as a chainsmoking slob forever?
Nyan Nyan Factory has been serializing the manga in Kodansha’s Young Magazine, and Kodansha published the 12th compiled book volume on May 20. Seven Seas will publish the third volume in English on June 16.
