posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The official website for the television anime of Izumo Ito's Machikado Mazoku (Street Corner Demon) manga revealed four cast members, a new visual, and the July 11 premiere date for the anime on Monday.
The cast includes:
- Konomi Kohara as Yūko Yoshida (left in visual above)
- Akari Kitō as Momo Chiyoda (right)
- Minami Takahashi as Lilith
- Tomoyo Takayanagi as Mikan Hinatsuki
The anime will premiere on TBS on July 11 at 25:28 (effectively 1:28 a.m. on July 12), and on BS-TBS on July 13 at 26:00 (effectively 2:00 a.m. on July 14).
Hiroaki Sakurai (Cromartie High School, Maid Sama!, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.) is directing the anime at J.C. Staff. Keiichirō Ōchi (La Corda d'Oro Blue Sky, Hinamatsuri, The Quintessential Quintuplets) is supervising the series' scripts. Mai Otsuka (Shakugan no Shana, Non Non Biyori, This Art Club Has a Problem!) is designing the characters.
The four-panel manga follows Yūko Yoshida, a 15-year-old girl who awakens one morning with demonic power, and is tasked with defeating a local magical girl. She has horns and a tail, but truthfully less power than an ordinary girl. She struggles to lift the "curse of a 40,000 yen (about US$365) per month living."
The manga launched in Manga Time Kirara Carat in September 2014. Houbunsha published the fourth compiled volume last October.
