A Girl & Her Guard Dog Anime's Video Reveals Cast, Staff, October Premiere

The official website for the television anime of Hatsuharu's A Girl & Her Guard Dog (Ojō to Banken-kun) manga unveiled a new teaser trailer and visual for the anime on Saturday. The trailer reveals the anime's cast, staff, and October premiere date.

Akari Kitō voices protagonist Isaku Senagaki, while Yuichiro Umehara voices Keiya Utō.

Nobuhiro Takamoto (Beelzebub, VazzRock the Animation) is directing the anime at project No.9. Aya Satsuki (My Master Has No Tail, Too Cute Crisis) is in charge of series composition. Yukiko Ban (.hack//SIGN, Shining Tears X Wind, Yowamushi Pedal) is designing the characters.

Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the manga in English digitally, and it describes the series:

Isaku never asked to be the daughter of a yakuza boss, but when her parents died in a car accident when she was 5, her gangster grandfather took her in and raised her as part of the clan. After years of being avoided by her schoolmates because of her family ties, Isaku is finally ready to make her high-school debut, live a normal life, and maybe even find love...until loyal family servant and Isaku's dedicated guardian, 26-year-old Keiya, enters high school right alongside her and vows to protect her from all of the above! Now she's got a chain-smoking, pistol-wielding knight-in-shining(?)-armor to deal with, and navigating high school besides? What's a young lady to do?!

Hatsuharu launched the manga in Bessatsu Friend in December 2018. Kodansha will publish the manga's eighth volume in Japan in October 2022. The manga has been on hiatsu since since earlier this month.

Kodansha USA released the manga's seventh volume digitally in English on June 21. The company also publishes Hatsuharu's Can I Kiss You Every Day? manga in English.
