A new key visual and a September 30 premiere date have been revealed for the upcoming My Master Has No Tail anime adaptation.
My Master Has No Tail is based on the Kodansha-published “Taisho rakugo fantasy” manga by TNSK, which began in 2019 and has eight tankoubon volumes as of June 2022. The manga is serialized in Good! Afternoon magazine and published under the Afternoon KC label.
Kodansha describes the manga as:
Mameda is a tanuki who was born in the wrong era – all she wants is to trick humans, but that age of tanuki shenanigans is over. But one woman, a rakugo master named Bunko, shows Mameda it’s still possible to cast magic on humans…only with words, not illusions. Mameda is determined to become Bunko’s apprentice, but can she convince the stoic master to take her on…?
