Light novel Sasaki to Pii-chan is getting a TV anime

During the event "Natsu no Gakuensai 2022" by Kadokawa's MF Bunko J light novel imprint, it was confirmed that the light novel series Sasaki to Pi-chan by Buncololi will receive an anime adaptation. Kadokawa also released a promotional trailer for the anime, featuring Tomokazu Sugita as Sasaki and Aoi Yūki as Pii-chan. Further details about the TV project will be announced soon.



Buncololi began publishing this fantasy comedy in January 2018 with the release of the first volume of the light novel by Media Factory under their MF Bunko J imprint, featuring illustrations by Kantoku. The novel series has so far released four volumes, along with a manga adaptation by Pureji Osho on Kadokawa's ComicWalker web service, which has been compiled into two tankōbon volumes.

Yen Press describes the series' story as follows:

Though Sasaki’s quirky corporate life keeps him constantly busy, at the end of every day, he’s left tired and unfulfilled. Looking for some companionship to fill the void in his life, he whimsically visits a pet shop—little knowing that he’s about to change his life forever. After picking out a cute little bird and taking it home, it turns out to be an incredible sage from another world who grants Sasaki supernatural powers and the ability to travel between worlds. All Sasaki wants is to use his newfound abilities to live in peace and comfort, but there’s more than just a few colorful characters who might stand in his way...
