Snow Man member Hikaru Iwamoto plays Kara-chan, and Travis Japan member Genta Matsuda plays Shito-san. Fuga Yaegashi (I Hear the Sunspot) is directing the series, and Takano is writing the scripts.
Kara-chan & Shito-san & follows the food-loving fashion model Kara and the sauna-loving hair stylist Shito as they visit saunas across Japan.
Takano and Futonchirashi launched the series through the BeSTAR Comics label on Amazon Kindle and Comic Cmoa in April 2024. Two compiled book volumes shipped simultaneously on January 30.
Film production company Stardust Pictures founded the manga imprint BeSTAR Comics in April 2024. The imprint publishes manga that have the potential to eventually have live-action adaptations.
