My deer friend Nokotan, Oshioshio’s manga about a student with antlers, is getting the anime treatment. The anime series, produced by Wit Studio, will hit the screens in July.
The series will star:
Megumi Han as Noko Shikanoko (Nokotan)
Saki Fujita as Torako Koshi (Koshitan)
Rui Tanabe as Anko Koshi
Fūka Izumi as Meme Bashame
Kosuke Toriumi as narrator
My deer friend Nokotan is directed by Masahiko Ōta with scripts by Takashi Aoshima and music by Yasuhiro Misawa, all of whom worked on series such as Gabriel DropOut And Yuruyuri.
Here’s how Seven Seas describes the manga, which launched in 2019:
No one knows that Torako was a delinquent. All her classmates only know her as the perfect student. But everything changes when Nokotan, a transfer student with antlers, comes into her life. Antlers aren’t the only thing strange about Nokotan. Her deer nose can sniff out Torako’s secret past! Whether at school or at the zoo, chaos follows this wide-eyed girl’s every step. Torako has so many questions! Is Nokotan a deer, a girl or something in between?
