Other staff members for the new season include:
The first season premiered in July 2024 on TBS and 28 other channels and had 12 episodes. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired.
The MANGA Plus service is serializing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Meet Tamako, who’s found her way into an interview at a ramen shop run solely by cats. When the feline manager asks if she likes cats, Tamako admits that she’s actually more of a dog person…only to be hired on the spot! But her job description isn’t quite what she expects ? rather than serving ramen, she’s now a dedicated cat caretaker…?!
ANGYAMAN first posted the manga on Shueisha’s Jump Rookie! site in November 2021, and Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ service then picked up the manga for serialization in March 2022. It began its regular weekly serialization that October.
