Kakushigoto TV Anime Confirmed
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The wraparound jacket band on Kōji Kumeta's Kakushigoto 10th manga volume confirmed on Friday that the manga is inspiring a television anime.
The Comic Buster bookstore in Hodogaya, Yokohama posted a picture of the 10th volume on Twitter on Thursday, revealing the anime adaptation. The January 2020 issue of Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine will reveal more information about the adaptation on December 6.
The comedy manga story centers on Kakushi Gotō, who doesn't want his daughter, Hime Gotō, to know that he is a manga creator. The manga's comedy focuses on the daily life of a family with a manga artist. In addition to being a word play on the father's name, the ambiguous title can mean "Hidden Things," but can also be read as "Drawing Job."
The manga received a promotional video animated by SHAFT in June 2016. SHAFT previously worked on three television anime adaptations and two original video anime (OVA) projects of Kumeta's Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei manga, and an OVA adaptation of his Katteni Kaizō manga. Akiyuki Simbo, who directed all the Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei adaptations, and was chief director on the Katteni Kaizō OVA, drew the storyboards for the video. Yukihiro Miyamoto, who worked alongside Simbo in the Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei anime, directed the video.
Hiroshi Kamiya voiced the father Kakushi Gotō in the video. Kamiya also voiced the main character Nozomu Itoshiki in the Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei anime. Chika Anzai voiced Kakushi's daughter Hime Gotō.
